The wedding we've all been waiting for has come and gone
and
now Police Chief Wally Boyd and School Psychologist Skye
Denison Boyd are on their honeymoon cruise. Skye is
thrilled
with every single aspect of the cruise... until she
realizes
her mom and dad may be on the very same cruise. After all,
there's a knitting group aboard the ship and her parents
had
mentioned a knitting cruise. Things go from bad to worse
when a member of the knitting group is killed and it's up
to
Wally and Skye (and a few other surprise Scumble River
residents) to help them solve the murder.
Denise Swanson shows once again why she is one of my
favorite cozy mystery authors with the seventeenth book in
the
Scumble River series! I love visiting with the
Scumble River residents and was a little worried that
MURDER
OF A NEEDLED KNITTER would suffer without some of our
favorite secondary characters. Denise Swanson finds the
perfect way to pull off a honeymoon away from Scumble
River,
however, as Skye's mother, May, tries to manipulate things
once again.
Denise Swanson brings a cruise to vivid life in MURDER OF A
NEEDLED KNITTER. I laughed right along with Skye and Wally
at some of the things they overhear and observe while I
absolutely love the taste of the islands we get through
Skye's eyes. While I definitely miss the town of Scumble
River, I love seeing Wally and Skye in a different
environment.
MURDER OF A NEEDLED KNITTER is sheer fun! Denise Swanson
excels at crafting quirky but lovable characters- and the
knitting community she portrays in MURDER OF A NEEDLED
KNITTER is chock full of them! I almost didn't miss the
Dooziers after meeting some of Skye's fellow cruisers!
MURDER OF A NEEDLED KNITTER is yet another phenomenal hit
from Denise Swanson!
School psychologist Skye Denison has been waiting forever
for her happily-ever-after with police chief Wally Boyd.
But
her bliss threatens to unravel on the very first day of
their luxurious honeymoon cruise, when Skye becomes
convinced that she has glimpsed her mother on board! Surely
even momzilla May wouldn’t have manipulated Wally into
booking the same trip that her knitting group is
taking or
would she?
May’s possible presence can’t cool Skye and Wally’s ardor
on
their personal Love Boat, but discovering knitting expert
Guinevere Stallings as she lies dying from a stab wound
leaves them untangling the clues of yet another murder
investigation rather than getting tangled in the sheets.
Since Skye found the body, she’s considered a top suspect,
but she’s far from the only one. Guinevere’s imperious ways
needled nearly everyone, and she left an impressive number
of enemies. It’s up to the crafty newlyweds to figure out
which of the wronged parties was angry enough to cast
Guinevere off permanently.
