Angora Alibi - Sally Goldenbaum As I skim other reviews of this book, I see it is popular with knitters. I don't knit, so maybe I didn't feel a connection to this group of women who knit together while they solve murders in their quaint little town in Cape Ann. That's pretty much all they do. Sit and knit and constantly rehash the details of the latest murder, over and over again. And just in case you didn't think of this yourself, there are constant comparisons between knitting something and solving a murder. There's I think we're getting close. But it's still a little bit like this sweater. We need to weave the ends in." and "...Nell refreshed their memories, lining up pieces of conversation they'd all been privy to over the weeks. They lay there in front of them like pieces of yarn, ready to be stitched into the whole." There are plenty more references but I think you get it.

The mystery itself was interesting. Sure, I figured out pretty quickly who it had to be by eliminating all the obviously red herrings thrown my way. I wish it was a little tighter, with fewer knitting sessions, and a tad more action. But I guess that's why most people read them. It is book #11 in "The Seaside Mystery" series. So please note, not the right match for me but others may love it.
