By: Maggie Sefton

Narrated by: Chloe Cannon

In this mystery from the New York Times bestselling author of Yarn Over Murder, Kelly Flynn and the Lambspun Knitters must unravel the truth from the lies to clear a friend's son of murder....

Kelly's summer in Fort Connor, Colorado, is off to a great start with knitting classes taught by her friend Barb. But while the advanced stitches are giving Kelly the slip, a more deadly problem soon has her friend coming apart at the seams.

A young woman has accused Barb's son, Tommy—a young doctor doing his residency—of assaulting her. The yarns spun by the local rumor mill are bad enough, but when the woman is found dead in her ransacked apartment, Tommy becomes the number one suspect.

With the police ready to close the case, it's up to Kelly to knit together the clues to uncover a killer who doesn't seem to drop a stitch....

The narration is awful! The speaker goes from automaton narrator, to an array of unbelievable character voices. The storyline, if you can call it that, rambles from the issue of a woman’s claim of sexual assault, to climate change issues, protection against UV related skin cancer, relationships, softball, adoption, yarn and knitting, a constant stream of coffee, and a dog’s fixation with a squirrel. Choose a subject and character to develop! It’s exhausting to listen to this.
