Hello, I know that some quilters also knit, so some of you may be interested in this author's knitting mysteries.  I read her second book, "Needled to Death" and enjoyed it .  I have her sixth mystery on my shelf, "Fleece Navidad" as part of my To Be Read (TBR) pile.  I hope to read it soon.

http://www.maggiesefton.com/knitting.html

Info about the main character and detective:
   
Kelly Flynn—29, tall, slender, chin-length dark brown hair, athletic, loves playing sports but her demanding and stressful job as a corporate CPA keeps her working long hours in the office. No time for sunshine or softball until—she returns to her childhood home in Northern Colorado for the funeral of her beloved aunt. Kelly's heartbroken. Aunt Helen was the closest thing to a mother Kelly ever knew. Fortunately, the knitters at the nearby yarn shop are eager to befriend Kelly and help her discover the truth behind her aunt's tragic death.

I just finished this book this afternoon.  I was disappointed by it because I figured out the real murdered in the early chapters.  It was SO obvious.  Then the characters kept saying "whoa".  It got annoying after a while.  Do people in Colorado really say "whoa" all the time?  There wasn't a single horse in this particular story.  I spent 10 days in Colorado visiting Rocky Mountain National Park (beautiful) a few years ago and I don't remember people there saying "whoa" all the time. 

Oh, well, I will donate it to my local library and maybe someone else will enjoy it more than I actually did.
