Murder in Merino: A Seaside Knitters Mystery
The latest in the Seaside Knitters series is Goldenbaum’s most accomplished entry yet. Jules, an attractive newcomer to Sea Harbor, brings with her a mystery from her past. When the cottage of yarn-store-owner Izzy becomes the scene of a murder, the members of the familiar knitting circle from past books put down their needles and put on their detective caps to find out if Jules is the guilty party or if it’s one of the town’s longtime residents. This is neatly plotted and written with attention paid to details and descriptions. Alas, there’s more eating than knitting going on, making this perhaps more pleasurable to foodies than fiber artists. However, both groups will be satisfied with an appended recipe and the (challenging) afghan pattern. --Ilene Cooper
