"Is a knitter also a murderer?"

Fresh Fiction Review

A Fatal Yarn

The Knit and Nibble group meets regularly to knit and chat together. The most recent topic on all of their minds is the murder of Mayor Diefenbach. Meanwhile, the trees in Arborville are mysteriously being clothed in knitted sweaters. Things hit close to home when one of the Knit and Nibble members is accused of murder. Can Pamela Paterson and her group of fellow knitters help save one of their own?

I love the idea of knitting sweaters for trees! Covering up the marks for destruction with sweaters is a clever and decorative idea, one I had to immediately google to see if anyone had tried it. Yarn bombing is apparently a thing, and I love the creativity behind it particularly for the reasons it’s done in A FATAL YARN.

I love the unity of the Knit and Nibble group. They stand by one of their fellow members even when the outlook looks bleak and are determined to help him and his wife during a very rough emotional time. Peggy Ehrhart does a marvelous job at showing readers how true friendship looks in A FATAL YARN.  

A FATAL YARN is the fifth book in the Knit and Nibble series but can easily be read as a standalone story. Peggy Ehrhart gives readers all the information they need to jump right in and enjoy time spent with these phenomenal knitting characters. However, be warned- one book my hook you and you’ll want to binge read the earlier books!

SUMMARY

Pamela Paterson and her Knit and Nibble club must clear the name of one of their knitters when he's accused of murdering the mayor . . .
 
The trees in Arborville, New Jersey, have started sporting sweaters. Part of the trend of public knitting art? Not exactly. An anonymous activist has been wrapping trunks in yarn to cover red X's that mark certain trees for removal by the town so they don't interfere with power lines. When the town's mayor—who supports cutting down the trees—is murdered, Pamela wonders if the tree hugger committed homicide to prevent arborcide. A knitter is arrested, but it's one of Knit and Nibble's own—the harmless Roland DeCamp, who was seen arguing with the mayor. Pamela is sure the police are barking up the wrong tree. With the help of her reporter friend Bettina, she branches off on her own investigation to root out the real killer . . .
 
Knitting tips and delicious recipe included!
