After reading the first book in this series, I’m delighted that there are no ugh more,to keep me busy for a couple weeks. The author also has several other series that look interesting. I’ve grabbed a glass of wine, a shortbread cookie and am ready to start reading the second book. I also have a basket of yarn on the shelf. I probably should finish that project I started months ago!

I came to this series by chance, hearing about it from a couple of GR friends, and good I did :O) If you’re looking for a cosy mystery with humour, this is it. In the first book, Lucy Swift finds out her grandmother died in suspect circumstances but also that she left her her knitting shop, Cardinal Woolsey, and flat in Oxford. As if this wasn’t enough, it seems she is the last descendant in a long line of witches, and oh, yes, she’s also inherited a knitting club, one whose members are vampires!
Yes, it is as bonkers as it sounds, but also fun. The plots are entertaining enough, some better than others - I’m writing this having whizzed through the first 8 titles - but the attraction is really in the character of Lucy, her inability to knit (hilarious) and the recurring cast. It literally is as fluffy as the fluffiest skein of yarn and perfect when you need something easy for those days when you can’t really concentrate on much else. I listened to them while actually knitting :O)
