A Fatal Yarn (Knit & Nibble Mysteries Book 5) Kindle Edition

Pamela Paterson and her Knit and Nibble club must clear the name of one of their knitters when he's accused of murdering the mayor . . .
 
The trees in Arborville, New Jersey, have started sporting sweaters. Part of the trend of public knitting art? Not exactly. An anonymous activist has been wrapping trunks in yarn to cover red X's that mark certain trees for removal by the town so they don't interfere with power lines. When the town's mayor—who supports cutting down the trees—is murdered, Pamela wonders if the tree hugger committed homicide to prevent arborcide. A knitter is arrested, but it's one of Knit and Nibble's own—the harmless Roland DeCamp, who was seen arguing with the mayor. Pamela is sure the police are barking up the wrong tree. With the help of her reporter friend Bettina, she branches off on her own investigation to root out the real killer . . .
 
Knitting tips and delicious recipe included!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fatal Yarn
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2022

I have read the first five books. The stories are interesting and the characters are likeable. However, so much time is devoted to describing everyday events, clothing, and food that it becomes hard to get through. I have begun to just pick up the dialogue. Pamela and Richard, in my opinion, should have got together. However, it is well written.

Fun series whether you knit, craft or not. Cozy to the core . the town setting down description just makes you want to live there. Despite what happens with Richard and Pamela, I hope she opens herself up to the possibility of happiness with someone. The murder is well crafted with red herrings to keep you guessing.

Great story about murder and knitting. I love the bras for the trees. Someone cares about the trees, which is very good. Solves two murders, good food is eaten.

I enjoyed this book. The storyline is interesting and kept me guessing to the very end. The characters are very likeable. Some even remind me of some of my friends. As a knitter, I enjoy the knitting bits and the free pattern at the end of the book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2020
Verified Purchase
I was very disappointed in two things. First of all Pamela is not a wishy washy person. Yet the author insists on making it appear that way whenever Pamela is around Richard. Second she had Richard give away a loved pet for a woman he barely knew. I would have give away the woman. This cat had bonded with Richard. He should have told the woman see you. I have never liked the way that Pamela was portrayed when around Richard. It seems to get worse in every book. Pamela could have said I like you. Let’s be friends. She didn’t have to have a romantic relationship with him or anyone. But to portray her as mealy mouthed? I started to dislike this part of the book in#4. It was worse in this book. I like the author but dislike the way she is taking this series.

How many Cozy Mystery series can there be? This one was good, twists and turns, well written in character and image development. The reader knows exactly what the town and its homes look like. This writer might also want to put her "flowery" language skills to use in food editing and interior decorating. Sometimes the detailed descriptions can be just too much.

5.0 out of 5 stars surprising twists
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2020

I like that the suspects changed from time to time throughout the story because there was plausible evidence against each one. However, when the real killer was found out, it never occurred to me to suspect that person. However, I knew without saying that it wasn't Roland. After all, it wouldn't do for Knit and Nibble to have a killer in their midst.

5.0 out of 5 stars Knitting, tree sweaters, yarns, all wrapped up in a mystery - what's not to like?
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2020
Verified Purchase
As an avid mystery reader and knitter, I found this book to meet both "needs". Although the mystery aspect is intriguing, it isn't "heavy". Also, I like how tree sweaters were integral to the story. It's "light" reading, and enjoyable.

The 5th book in the Knit and Nibble series ands this time it's personal! One of the members is accused of murdering the town Mayor, so it's up to Pamela and Bettina to clear their name.

Of course, there are knitting tips, along with recipes in the book as usual.

An enjoyable, easy to read, cozy mystery series which is well worth adding to your too read list.

I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Knitting, food, and mystery
Reviewed in Canada on August 26, 2020

I enjoyed this book. Anything that combines knitting and mystery is likely to attract me. I was intrigued by the sub-plot of trees that had been selected to be removed suddenly gaining knitted "sweaters" to hide the red Xs. There was, of course, the necessary death but it was handled well. The book illustrates the camaraderie that groups of knitters have and how they protect their own when one is threatened (as is the case in this book where one of the knitters is accused of murder). At a time when the world is a strange place to be in, this book is a delightful reprieve. I am now going to explore others in the series.

The story was interesting but it was way too long for what it was.Would have made a good short story though. I found the writing very repetitive how many times do you need to note that the plate was sage green, I would have liked more character development. Sorry to be so negative.
