    About this audiobook

    Since her only daughter left for college, widow Pamela Paterson has kept busy as associate editor of a craft magazine and founder of the Knit and Nibble knitting club in quaint Arborville, New Jersey. Now, she's trying out a new hobby-solving murders!

    Pamela is hosting the next Knit and Nibble meeting and can't wait to liven up her otherwise empty home with colorful yarn, baking, and a little harmless gossip. She even recruits Amy Morgan, an old friend who recently moved to town, as the group's newest member. But on the night of the gathering, Amy doesn't show. Not until Pamela finds the woman dead outside-a knitting needle stabbed through the front of her handmade sweater . . .

    Someone committed murder before taking off with Amy's knitting bag, and Pamela realizes that only she can spot the deadly details hidden in mysterious skeins. But when another murder occurs, naming the culprit-and living to spin the tale-will be more difficult than Pamela ever imagined . . .

      I enjoyed this mystery though I'm not sure the author actually knits or has even been to a knitting group.. I guess some of them could be super regimented. All the groups I've been part of you knit, talk and drink coffee/tea and snack at the same time. Some of the knitting talk seemed off and just thrown in.
    • 2/5
      This book was painful to read. Boooooooooorrrring. I pride myself in finishing a book no matter what but this was painful. If this was a movie, it would be one of those lame, slice of life, indie movies that don't go anywhere. Reading this was akin to watching paint dry. Booooooooorrrrriiing!
    • 4/5
      This is the first in a series. It is a fun read. The characters are developed well enough for them to be likable. In this book, a newly invited member of the Knit and Nibble group turns up dead in the main character's shrubbery with a knitting needle through her heart. A second body appears soon after. Our heroin, Pamela, and her best friend Bettina investigate on their own and manage to get themselves in trouble.

      whodunit, cozy-mystery, friendship, murder-investigation, amateur-sleuth****The old friend/new to town never made it to the knitting social at Pamela's home, she got as far as the yard and was murdered with a knitting needle to the heart. Let the sleuthing begin as the local detectives pooh poohed any possible clues that the knitters come up with. Good, interesting characters and an interesting plot complete with misdirection, twists, and red herrings. A good read.Callie Beaulieu is the narrator.

      Pamela Paterson is a widow who lives in a small town with a daughter in college and whose social life consists of a knitting group that meets once a week. It's a varied group that includes both the wealthy and those not so much, but they all have one thing in common, and that's their knitting.When Pamela is leaving the local co-op grocery she sees an old colleague of her late husband's who helped her get through her grieving, and invites her to join the group. But Amy Morgan never shows up, and Pamela wonders what happened. She doesn't have long to wait, as when she's searching for the small kitten she's been feeding outside, she comes across Amy - dead in the bushes, stabbed with a knitting needle.Now Pamela is curious who wanted to kill Amy, and why. And when there's another murder, she's convinced the two are connected, even though the police don't. So it's up to Pamela and her friend Bettina to find the truth before someone else gets killed...This book could have had so many possibilities, but wasted them. It wasn't a bad book, not at all; but it missed opportunities and there were several things that bothered me.First, I don't really approve of underage drinking. Her daughter is eighteen, and Pamela has no problem giving her wine, because he daughter thinks since she's a college student it somehow makes it okay for her to do so. Really? Underage drinking is fine in Pamela's book? It's not in mine. Sorry, but I wouldn't give a teenager a drink any more than I'd hand a twelve-year-old my keys and tell them to take the car.Secondly, Pamela was extremely rude to her neighbor, Richard Larkin. She just decided that her friend Bettina was 'setting her up' so when he asked a couple of the neighbors in the day after Thanksgiving for an after-Thanksgiving dinner, she decided not to go because of it. That's just so rude. She doesn't want to have anything to do with him because after her husband has been dead five years, she's not ready to date. Fine. But to not go? Not fine.Then, where were the police in this story? They were rarely in it at all, and only on the periphery. It's as if they didn't care that people had died, they didn't give any indication they were investigating. We were told they were asking questions, but we weren't made a part of those questions so we could figure out for ourselves who the murderer was by the responses. In a mystery, the police shouldn't maybe be omnipresent, but they should at least be there.But, in the end, it didn't matter. I knew who the killer was almost immediately - and it was from a single paragraph spoken by one of the characters (and I'm not saying who it was) and it was pretty obvious and also the reason for the murder.However, one fact did change in the book, and it has to do with the reason for the murder and also indicates what was said, so please do not read it if you haven't read the book:You can find the spoiler here: https://joannesbooks.blogspot.com/2019/08/murder-she-knit-knit-and-nibble-mystery.htmlOther than that, I did like Catrina the cat, although Penny got on my nerves somewhat. She seemed slightly self-centered, and trust me, not all teenagers are self-centered; Penny was concerned with what Penny wanted, and didn't even ask how her mother was doing living by herself. She just didn't seem to care. Pamela needs to socialize more than she does; go to dinner out once in a while, go somewhere other than the co-op. When she's not investigating, she's a recluse. She's also emotionless. Did her emotions die when her husband did? Because she never seemed happy nor excited nor anything, really. Pamela is a pretty bland character.All in all, while I knew who the killer was, it wasn't a bad book, and it had a decent plot. It just could have been so much better. I will read the next in the series in the hopes that it will improve.

      3.5 stars rounded up. Murder, She Knit is the first book in the new Knit & Nibble Mystery series. This book has everything I like in a cozy mystery. There is a cute pet (a cat in this case), a group of women and one token male (a knitting group called The Knit and Nibble group), a dead body found in the front garden of our MC and of course an amateur sleuth. What this one doesn't have is a romantic interest and that was just fine with me.

      Ous main character, Pamela Paterson, is a widow and her daughter has left home to attend college. She is a empty nester and keeps herself busy by editing articles for a fiber crafts magazine. She is the unofficial leader of the Knit and Nibble, has a best friend who lives across the street and is a very friendly and smart woman. When she runs into an old acquaintance on the street, she immediately invites her to attend their meeting that night at her home. The members of the knitting group are all very different from one another, yet get along well together. They are not all without problems and that not only adds to the story, but provides a couple of red herrings as well. The mystery moves along at a nice pace with a simple plotline. There were several suspects and a few twists along the way, but when the reveal came, I was a bit surprised. It seemed to come quickly and although it made sense, there were not really any hints along the way so it was a bit abrupt. It was an enjoyable story, but I would like to see more quirkiness and clues along the way. I did enjoy the stray cat that Pamela fed and eventually he moved into her home. I will continue with this series to see what is next for the Knit and Nibble group. The publisher, Kensington Publishing, generously provided me with a copy of this book to read upon my request. The rating, ideas and opinions shared are my own.

      Cozy mystery where Pamela tries to find where the kitten she's been feeding is hiding but finds a body in her bushes. She and the victim have a past but so do many others in the town. I enjoyed this story. I liked the characters. I also enjoyed the small-town gossip and mind set. The knitting group are older women whose children are raised. They get together weekly to knit. There is also Roland whose doctor told him to take up knitting as a way to reduce stress. Not so sure if it has or has only added to the stress in his life. There is good world building here as this sets up the series. The story was good but I missed the clues to help solve the mystery. They hinted at the back of my mind but never came together until the murderer was identified and the story told. I am looking forward to the next mystery in this series.
    • 5/5
      Peggy Ehrhart has created a knitting group that's an excellent mix of ages, sexes, and financial status. Type A Roland has joined the group on the suggestion of his doctor due to his high blood pressure, and I love the way the man follows a pattern when he knits. An elderly member knits for charity and Bettina is Pamela's neighbor who's always ready to do a little snoopi...err... sleuthing. The members of this group are all individuals, and they're all real; Ehrhart doesn't go overboard in making them quaint, quirky, and cute.I also enjoyed Pamela's editing job for the craft magazine, but knitting and editing aren't the best parts of this first-in-a-new-series. The mystery is a good'un, and its resolution blindsided me even though it should not have because the clues were all Just. Right. There. Pamela is honest with herself; she knows that the major reason she's doing her own investigating is that she's nosy, but at least she does her very best to work closely with the police because they are the folks with the training.Good crafts. Good mystery. And the best part of all: good relationships. Murder, She Knit is filled with relationships. There's the growing relationship between Pamela and the little kitten she's named Catrina. There's a strong suggestion of a romantic interest for Pamela, too. But most of all, there are the strong, lasting relationships between all the members of Knit & Nibble. This book is filled with so many good food smells, and knitting, and wonderful fellowship that I found myself smiling through almost the entire book. Bring on the next one-- my needles and black bottom cupcakes are ready and waiting!
    • 3/5
      A light cozy mystery with a lot of cat action. The mystery is simple and easily solved early in the book (lack of suspects). There is little investigation. Romance between Mark and Cassie along with jealousy and misunderstanding.
    • 4/5
      In this promising start to a new series, widowed Pamela Paterson invites her husband's former colleague Amy Morgan who recently took a job with a local college to her home for the weekly knitting group meeting. When Amy doesn't show up, Pamela assumes something came up at the university. Later that evening while looking for the cat's bowl, she discovers her friend's body in the shrubbery with a knitting needle poking out of her body. The needle seems to point to someone in the group, but Amy made some controversial decisions during her short time chairing the department, supplying suspects outside the frame of the needlework circle. Pamela doesn't think police always ask the right questions and begins to investigate with the help of neighbor and fellow knitter Bettina. The conclusion of this one caught me a bit by surprise although I confess to coming up with no solution of my own. The clues were present, but not obvious. I'm a bit baffled why the police did not interact with Pamela more and warn her about sleuthing. I loved the cat who adopted Pamela and look forward to Catrina's becoming more comfortable around her pet human. The main characters and setting were well-developed. I look forward to the next installment of the series and to seeing how the characters develop over the course of the series. I received an advance electronic galley from the publisher through NetGalley with the expectation of an honest review.
