I know I’m guilty of blog napping. I haven’t been here in a while. I apologize. Life got in the Way. Darn IT!
I have a few well known authors to read. And then I remembered I still have a couple, of paper backs by Maggie Sefton. I already read Knit One Kill Two. Which was good, not great.
It’s the first in a series, of knitting mysteries.

Kelly Flynn living in Washington D.C. Must return to Colorado for her Aunt’s funeral. Where she is embraced by the loving ladies in the local yarn shop. Through their friendship and local knowledge Kelly solves her Aunt’s murder. Also the knitters at the “House of Lambspun” teach
Kelly how to knit, the love for yarn and the growing bond people in the fiber arts have.

We were hit with an amazingly warm day. I had more than enough to do so I did what I do best. Nothing. I sat out on the porch with my second Maggie Sefton mystery. Needled to Death.
This was very entertaining. I think the characters were more developed and Maggie didn’t have to do so much convincing when it came to the ladies at House of Lambspun, and their joy, in knitting. It starts with the murder. Kelly is bringing some tourists to visit an alpaca ranch, where she finds the rancher on the floor of her office murdered. Needled to Death, has Kelly exploring her newly inherited ranch (from poor Aunt Helen who was killed in the first book) and us learning,
about sheep.

It’s a good book, I liked it and I’m not easily pleased. I think you’d want to read Knit One Kill Two first though. It’s not necessary as Sefton does a good catch up job with Needled.
Because I enjoyed Needled so much I went right to A Deadly Yarn. I’m just starting. Maggie likes to begin her capers with a body and she did it again this time. Right away we have the victim, Police say suicide, Kelly says murder. She’s dealing with the same police department, and again the local yarn shop, House of Lambspun are helping her find the culprit.
I think this series would be fine for teens. The only thing I could find objectionable is the word, damn is used and Kelly is constantly drinking coffee. (like me hehehe). Now if that’s a problem you wouldn’t
give it to your teen. However it’s a nice series and if you have someone who enjoys knitting this could be a fun summer read.

There are more in the series, the fourth is A Killer Stitch. I’ll blog about that after I’ve read it. She’s also coming out with, “Dyer Consequences,” I think it’s to be released in June. I’m not too sure.
I hope this helps. if you’re looking for a fun afternoon murder, these will DO!
