First in the Crochet Mystery series. I enjoyed reading about Molly and the ladies in the crochet group, even though they aren't anything like my local group. I didn't really like Barry and found him to be way too pushy. I liked Mason better, but who knows if she'll end up with either guy? Just something to watch for in later books. We made the pound cake recipe from the story and it was a little dry but good.

While cozy mysteries aren't my standard reading material, I do occasionally find them interesting enough. This book goes beyond that, I couldn't put it down - unless it was to crochet. The story is fun, the characters are well developed and the crochet is well integrated.

The book includes a pattern and recipe - I haven't yet worked up the pattern but it is easy to read and follow.

This book definitely put me in the mind set to crochet, I was able to crank out a hat while alternating with reading. When reading I would feel the need to crochet and while crocheting I would long to be reading.

I would recommend this book to everyone, but especially if you love to crochet or like the cozy mysteries.

I am anxious to read the author's other books.
