Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
The third in the Knitting Mystery series once again features CPA and novice knitter Kelly Flynn, who sleuths around Fort Connor, Colorado, where she has found both a surrogate family and land on which to build her dream house. Sefton offers an acceptable mystery this time--finding out who killed a local double-dealing ladies' man--while twisting in plenty of details about knitting and spinning. Unfortunately, Sefton is guilty of a couple of extremely annoying literary tics: too many characters are introduced without enough description to keep them straight, and, worse, they do altogether too much grinning, smiling, and laughing (several times per page, in fact). Still, knitters will be pleased to add Sefton's series, now four installments strong, to their knitting-related fiction shelf (along with Kate Jacobs' chick-littish Friday Night Knitting Club, 2007). And, perhaps best of all, a nice pattern for a cable scarf ends the book. Ilene Cooper

Format:Taschenbuch
In vieler Hinsicht kann ich der vorigen Rezensentin nur zustimmen: Das Ende ist vorhersehbar, wenn auch nicht ganz so sehr, wie ich erst befürchtet hatte, das Buch ist nicht so gut wie andere aus der Serie. Leider fand ich die Lektüre gar nicht so angenehm, besonders das aufdringliche Verhalten von Kellys Freunden, die meinen, ihr vorschreiben zu müssen, wann sie mit ihrem Freund wie weit zu gehen hat, nervt dann doch gewaltig und hat mir den Spaß am Buch größtenteils verdorben. Mal ehrlich - wegen der tollen Krimigeschichte lese ich die Serie ja nun nicht und hier hat eben das gefehlt, was die Bücher trotzdem so schön macht: die nette Atmosphäre im Wollladen und innerhalb des Freundeskreises. Deshalb auch nur 3 Sterne. Wer den Zusammenhang der Serie verstehen will, sollte das Buch dennoch lesen, denn hier wird unter anderem ein neuer Charakter eingeführt: Marty, der spätere Freund von Megan.

... aber wieder eher absehbar. Der Krimi tritt vor den sozialen Interaktionen in den Hintergrund. Es war nett zu lesen, aber nicht wirklich sehr spannend. Einleuchtend, aber nicht überwältigend. Das ist nun der 2. Band in Folge, der nicht vollständig überzeugt hat, trotz Cliffhanger, ich weiss noch nicht, ob ich noch einen weiteren Band lesen werde.

This book is redundant
15. Juni 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I have enjoyed the past Kintting Mysteries, but this book is nothing but redundant writing. EVERYDAY Kelly goes to the cafe, gets coffee (enough with the coffee references), takes out her knitting, puts her knitting away, feels the yarn for sale and goes back to her accounts. This character needs to grow to keep the series going. A character needs to do more than drink coffee, talk about coffee, and offer friends coffee to be enjoyable. Kelly would be more upset if the coffee went missing, than if it was one of her friends. Lets get back to being a mystery. I will read the next book in the series, but if it is the same old thing that will be the last.

Another fun entry in this series
7. Mai 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I've enjoyed the first three books in this light cozy mystery series and this one continued the trend. Kelly and her friends are still enjoyable and fun to spend some time with.
Kelly has now settled into a consulting business and life in Colorado permanently. A rancher is murdered who has been involved with a spinning teacher at Kelly's knitting store hangout. While she doesn't plan to get involved at first, she is soon entangled because Jennifer knows the obvious suspect and thinks she's innocent. I actually thought this was a pretty obvious mystery - I had figured out the murderer quite early. Since Kelly really didn't know the suspects or the victim, it made also the investigation run a little sluggishly. It wasn't a bad plot, though.
We finally seem to be getting a little movement in Kelly's relationship with Steve and hopefully this will continue. We also seem to have a new interest for Megan and there are several other budding romances.
This book seems to be set up for the next book as much as its own book (anyone know what it will be or when it will be publisehd?) as Kelly is working to buy land (Geri Norbert's place from Needled to Death), but the end really seems to intimdate she'll have major problems with the new land.

Good title for a cozy mystery
5. Juni 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Kelly Flynn is settling in nicely in Fort Connor, Colorado. She loves the mountains, her career as a freelance accountant, and her friends and fellow knitters (and spinners) at the House of Lambspun, owned by motherly Mimi Shafer.
Spinning class teacher Lucy Adair is devastated by the murder of her new boyfriend, Derek Cooper. It turns out he had many women--and a few men--who might have wanted him dead. There was old girlfriend Diane, a heavy drinker who had been furious with him recently, and the man who had been promised an investment, and then Derek pulled out at the last minute and laughed.
Kelly's good friend Jennifer asks for her help in saving Diane from her drinking, and from despair. She lied to the police and now it is catching up to her. It seems she was the last person to see Derek alive. Or was she? Was there another car coming up the road to Derek's place when she left? Was there a car parked nearby? Poor Lucy is unusually devastated by this murder, and she has several secrets, shared with her close friend Ellen. Kelly is able to tease out the truth, winding up the case with calm good sense and the help of her many friends.
This novel is the epitome of the cozy mystery--warm and soft knitting wools, good food, and great friends. You will long to make a visit to the House of Lambspun, take a class, have some hot chocolate and maybe some chocolate mint fudge. You can have some of the fudge because the recipe is in the back of the book, along with a scarf pattern.
Author Sefton fell in love with knitting late in life, discovering a store that sounds very much like House of Lambspun, and soon after the characters for these mysteries came into her life.
Armchair Interviews says: A cozy mystery for knitters or non-knitters alike.
