Murder, She Knit by Peggy Ehrhart
2.0
In theory, this sounds like the perfect book for any fiber artist but I can't in good conscious recommend it.
I’ve read plenty of cozy mysteries following "older" characters that DON'T feature fatphobic comments, glorified narcissism, slut shaming, and many other judgmental remarks (like around marjuana use). These negative views held no importance to the actual story and the author has no excuse for including them.
While the actual mystery was intriguing enough, I don't even want to give any praise to the author who I can only assume has the same hateful views as the characters she wrote. It’s really a shame that there is so much negativity woven throughout this book because the fiber art and thrifting content made this an ideal series for me to read while crocheting.
