Just so so
hoping the series gets better ( )

Dumb. ( )

I read this book after reading the second book in the series. I enjoyed Knit One, Kill Two much more than the second book. The mystery kept my attention more and the relationships seemed more geniune. I also understood more about Kelly's character and why she acted the way she did in the second book. ( )

Not the best debut opener in a new series largely because the main character is pretty dry & not very likeable. Simple plot & the hint of romance not developed. The enjoyable part was the author's tangible love of all things yarn & knitting which will be enough to see me into the next installment. ( )

3.75 stars

Kelly is an accountant from Washington, D.C. who has come to Colorado to put her aunt's affairs in order after she's been murdered. Kelly's aunt was the only family she had left, but she finds out some troubling information about the investigation... although the police think they have the guy, Kelly's not convinced. With the help of some of her Aunt Helen's knitting friends, Kelly learns some shocking things about her aunt's past as she tries to figure out what really happened to Helen.

It took a little while to get going, and I thought the first half of the book focused more on the people (probably to introduce them all) and the knitting than the mystery, but I thought it really picked up in the 2nd half of the book when it focused more on the mystery. There were even a couple of places where it felt a little creepy. Had the pace been the same throughout the book, I would have rated it 4 stars, but as the first half was a little slow for me, I've kept my rating just below that. I did enjoy it, and probably will continue the series (like I need another!). ( )
