#27 of 52 – 52 Books in 52 Weeks
No spoilers in this post, just a lot of complaints.
I did not like this book at all. It was pretty much a novelty item for me–I don’t read mysteries, so I read this purely for the knitting element. It’s a pretty small/short book, but it took me way too long to get through it. It was that boring. I think it was a couple weeks from start to finish. The plot was uninteresting in general, kind of silly at times, and the characters were flat. The parts that had to do with knitting were cute, but they weren’t enough to improve the story.
The ending, and an attempt at a plot twist, were too neatly wrapped up. Also, it totally set up the plot for a sequel, but I’m not interested. This one has already been posted to PaperBackSwap–along with its sequel, which I’m not going to bother to read.
haha, yeah… I know I have read a “knitting” mystery but I can’t remember what it was — I bought it at the thrift store b/c it was funny sounding (the title). there wasn’t really much knitting in mine, I think she is just working on a sweater at some point? obviously the book was really good b/c I remember so much about it
I do like mysteries though!
It might have been this one! She starts with a chunky scarf, but then starts a sweater (or a tank, maybe? some kind of top) later in the book.
