The first two Knitting Mysteries by bestselling author
Maggie Sefton have been cozied up together in one volume,
making a great gift for knitters and fans of cozy mysteries.
Knit One, Kill Two
When Kelly Flynn arrives in Colorado on the heels of her
Aunt Helen's murder the last thing she wants is to tour the
yarn store that invaded the farmhouse on her aunt's land.
But the kindness of the crafters makes it impossible to keep
her distance, and they become staunch support as new facts
come to light about Helen's death that just don't make
sense. Why would a wandering vagrant strangle Helen then
steal her knitting? And what happened to the large family
memory quilt that has hung on the wall for years? As secrets
from her aunt's past are revealed, Kelly realizes she may
not be as alone in the world as she believed, and thoughts
of returning to her job in Washington D.C. don't hold the
appeal they should.
Needled to Death
When local weaver and alpaca breeder Vickie Claymore turns
up dead, Kelly is drawn in by her role as CPA to help
Vickie's daughter Debbie straighten out the accounts for the
lawyers. As the police look hard at Vickie's soon-to-be-ex
husband, Kelly discovers clues that may indicate another
killer is still at large.
Sefton's cozy knitting mysteries have a bit more backbone
than others in the same genre. The warm connections between
the knitters and other fiber folk at House of
Lambspun feel vivid and real, and the reactions of Kelly
to her losses strike true. The well-constructed mysteries
are an integral part of the stories, but they are balanced
by the underlying storylines of relationships that continue
to grow through the series. As always, I enjoy the addition
of recipes and knitting patterns tucked in at the end of
each book.
The first two books in the national bestselling Knitting
mysteries- Knit One, Kill Two and Needled to Death.
In Knit One, Kill Two, Kelly Flynn returns to Colorado for
her aunt's funeral only to suspect that the woman's death
was not an accident. With the help of the knitting regulars
at House of Lambspun, Kelly's about to get a few lessons in
creating a sumptuously colored scarf-and in luring a killer
out of hiding.
In Needled to Death, Kelly visits her friend Vickie's alpaca
farm, and finds her splayed out on her original hand-woven
rug, blood seeping into the design. Kelly can't resist
investigating-even if it means taking a break from the
sweater she's been knitting in the round.
