SYNOPSIS:
Betty Hechtman knits up murder and mayhem in
the latest in the national bestselling Yarn Retreat Mystery series.
Casey Feldstein has her hands
full with preparations at the Vista Del Mar hotel on the scenic Monterey
Peninsula as another yarn retreat begins. The retreaters will be thrown for a
loop this time, learning the trendy art of arm knitting and finger
crocheting.
But not everyone is enthusiastic
about trying something new, and Casey is forced to come up with an alternative
craft for her less adventurous pupils. Things go from worst to worsted when a
travel writer from a neighboring retreat group is found dead in his room among
a sea of feathers. When one of the owners of Vista Del Mar pleads for help,
Casey gets hooked into the case and must unravel a delicate skein of secrets to
catch a killer.
INCLUDES KNITTING PATTERNS AND A RECIPE!
INCLUDES KNITTING PATTERNS AND A RECIPE!
A story
that combines intriguing characters, a pleasant setting, and a mystery will
draw readers in quickly. Author Betty Hechtman does that very effectively in A
TANGLED YARN.
This
fast-moving story can be read on its own, but is a treat for those readers
following the series. The author has created a tantalizing story that will hold
your interest from beginning to end.
You don’t
have to be a knitter or a crafter to enjoy this delightful mystery. However,
there are some knitting patterns and a recipe at the end of the story as an
added bonus.
The
protagonist has continued to grow with each new installment. She has faults and
traits readers can relate to. The interaction among the main core of characters
enhances the story. This is an entertaining mystery that will be hard to put
down once you begin reading.

ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed the books that I've read by this author and have some catching up to do! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteOh, the setting for this is really appealing, Mason. And it sounds as though there's an interesting group of characters, too. Thanks for sharing.

The cat on the cover sure looks like 'trouble' is in store. I've not tried my hand at knitting, although I did try needlepoint. But I love themed cozies because beyond the mystery and fun characters, there is information that I so often find fascinating. Knitting? I just might try it.
ReplyDeleteThat cover certainly does suggest trouble. I think it's the look on the cat's face, like he's up to something!
ReplyDeletePerfect book when knitting weather is just around the corner.
