I have absolutely fell in love with this series, everything about it. So much so, that I am attempting to teach myself how to knit.
I want to be friends with Pamela and Bettina so badly lol. I want to be part of the Knit and Nibble, a wonderful circle that love to knit and have dessert!!!
Pamela and Bettina are also the town amateur sleuths and are great at solving mysteries. In this installment, they have to figure out Who Dunnit as one of their fellow knitters is the prime suspect.
I love the community and relationships in these novels. Peggy Ehrhart makes you feel like you are part of the story, or to want to be part of the story.
I have these on audiobook. I highly recommend this as Callie Beaulieu is amazing!!

A lovely addition to this series I love.
The cast of characters and the setting are as lovely as usual, the mystery is solid, full of twists and turns, and it kept me guessing.
I can't wait for the next instalment.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

Who killed the former mayor of the quaint little town of Arborville, NJ? One thing Pamela and Bettina know is that it wasn't their fellow Knit and Nibble member, Roland! This cozy mystery is the fifth in the Knit & Nibble Mystery series by Peggy Ehrhart. Ehrhart fills her book with fun characters and a whodunnit that takes a bit of a surprising twist. I completely enjoyed this book and I love the author's descriptions of the delicious food that Pamela and her best friend and neighbor indulge in - I would love to see her write a series revolving even more around food.
Thank you to Netgalley for my free review copy.

Dollycas’s Thoughts
The Knit and Nibblers are back and trying to figure out who is wrapping tree trunks in knit scarves to cover up the red x’s designated the trees to be destroyed to protect the power lines above. The town’s mayor supports the project and when he is murdered Pamela wonders if the tree hugger is responsible. But the police arrest fellow knitter Rolland DeCamp because he was witnessed arguing with the mayor. Pamela and Bettina cast on a wider net of suspects and do their best to knit together the clues to purl the right culprit behind bars.
We follow Pamela through her daily life as she works from home as an editor for “Fiber Craft Magazine,” and does a little sleuthing on the side with friend, neighbor, and yarn and nibbler Bettina. Bettina is very pushy trying to get Pamela to date another neighbor but Pamela keeps putting her off. She is just not interested. I am surprised it hasn’t caused more strain in their friendship. It seems that issue has wrapped in this installment and that makes me very happy.
I do enjoy Ms. Ehrhart’s descriptive writing style. She tells the story in a way that brings the reader right into each scene, from her home office with her working on such interesting sounding articles, to the items being knit and the food being eaten. I love the camaraderie between the characters and the way they support each other. The conversations are realistic and you can tell they truly care about each other.
The mystery is on the light side and I did figure it out early in the story but all the drama and daily life kept me entertained right up to the final word. These are characters I love visiting and am looking forward to the next book.
A Fatal Yarn is a great addition to this series. Fix yourself something to nibble on and enjoy.
