One of my knitting friends from our local fiber guild lent me Knit One, Kill Two by Maggie Sefton a couple weeks ago. What a fun read! Even though it's a murder mystery, it's the sort that Agatha Christie would write with Miss Marple as her main character. Maggie Sefton's main character is much younger than Miss Marple, but every bit as tenacious. There's another difference between Kelly Flynn and Miss Marple - Miss Marple could already knit, but Kelly learns in this first in the series.
Kelly is flanked by her new-found friends at the House of Lambspun, who have a wide variety of interests and professions beyond their interest in knitting - all of which come in handy.
There's a few little picky details that are in error regarding ranching and law, but these are easily ignored in this fast-paced mystery. I like cozy mysteries that keep me thinking and this one fit the bill. I can't wait to read the second in the series.
