A cozy murder mystery that pairs nicely with a steaming mug of tea (or coffee or cocoa). Our main character goes through a hard time only to receive word of her grandmother's passing. She gets to England, intending to sell or maybe run the shop, and discovers not all was as it appeared. This story is pretty fluffy, despite the murder. The ending was a bit predictable but the enjoyability of the rest of the story made up for it. The image of the vampires getting together to knit was equal parts funny and heartwarming- given the stereotypical image of a vampire. I don't know enough about running a business to comment on the depictions of it but I also didn't really pick up glaring issues.

I love the premise, and it’s a decent murder mystery, but the protagonist seems pretty dumb and the book contradicted itself a few times. Could have benefited from a better editor. The audiobooks narrator did a great job with all the different voices and accents.

A fun read, especially with the setting of a knitting shop, but very, very little diversity made me wish there were more variety in the characters.
