Murder Wears Mittens by Sally
Goldenbaum is the latest addition to her Seaside Knitters Society
mysteries and it is definitely a winner. It kept me guessing from
beginning to end, even the wrap up was a mystery.
In this book Izzy's knitting shop and
Izzy and her friends (Cass, Birdy, and Nell) are working with the
community to knit hats, socks, and mittens (along with a few scarves)
for those in need. When Cass runs across a young boy and his dog in
the laundromat one very rainy evening, she can't stop looking until
she is able to return the school uniform he dropped. When the group
finally locate the family, they find Cass' aunt Sister Fiona is a
champion of the family and that the mother is not home. A murder, a
nosy reporter, a shocking will, and many great meals to discuss the
events, knit, and solve the crimes.
As with all of her books the author
weaves the story without letting on who the guilty party will turn
out to be. The characters are well drawn, as you would expect after
eleven books (this is number twelve) but not tiring. There are the
four main women, their spouses/boyfriend, family members, community
leaders, etc., etc., etc., but there is also a cast of characters in
the front of the book. Murder Wears Mittens is as enjoyable as Death
by Cashmere, the first in the series.
