Book Reviews of Died in the Wool (Knitting, Bk 1)

This is one of the best "first in a series" novels I have read in a long time. The story moves right along and the introduction to the main characters is really good. I didn't figure out the killer at all until the very end. The main character is very likeable and believable! Recommend this for anyone who likes a good cozy book. I don't knit, but that doesn't make any difference, there is really not alot of technical stuff about yarn in it, especially compared to Maggie Sefton's series. Just excellent!

Loved the first in this series. Can't wait to read the second!

great series.
Fun to read. good characters

Very enjoyable first book in this series. Look forward to characters developing.

Meet Ariadne Evans. She's the proud owner of a knitting shop. And she's just got herself in a stitch.

When Ariadne enters her knitting store one day and discovers the cast-off body of longtime customer Edith Perry strangled with homespun yarn, she fears her life is about to come undone -- again, since she's still getting over her divorce. Ariadne's worries increase when she's questioned by detective Joshua Pierce, who may or may not have designs on her. While Josh pieces together the details of the crime, clues about Ariadne's ties to Miss Perry begin to slip together...and a bizarre pattern unfolds. Now it's up to Ariadne to do some sleuthing of her own. Can she untangle the investi-gation without getting snarled up into too much trouble? That depends on whether the killer is as crafty as she is....

I didn't like this book near as well as other craft mysteries such as the ones written by Monica Ferris. As a matter of fact, I didn't finish the book. Apparently, I am in the minority on this opinion, however.

Another cute cozy mystery.

The first book in an excellent cozy series involving Ariadne Evans who is the proud owner of her very own knitting shop. She comes to work one day to find a customer strangled to death with homespun yarn. The list of suspects is long because it turns out not a lot of people liked the victim. Ariadne ends up trying to untangle the investigation because she is a suspect along with some of her friends. I would highly recommend this series. I am looking forward to the second book.

A well-written, cozy mystery. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to reading the next in the series.
