Death of a Knit Wit by Peggy Ehrhart

4.0

Death of a Knit Wit by Peggy Ehrhart is the eighth book in the Knit and Nibble Mystery Series. The main characters in this series are two best friends, Pamela Paterson and Bettina Fraser, who are in the same knitting club. The club members get together to snack and knit while discussing their lives and solving mysteries. In this book, a womanizing professor is murdered during an event that Pamela helped plan, so she wants to help solve the crime. I've only read a couple of the prior books in the series, but really enjoy the characters and their friendships, especially the one between Pamela and Bettina. They have very different personalities, but get along well and often bring out the best in each other.

Pamela is an editor for a fiber arts and crafts magazine, and I really like reading about some of the articles that she is evaluating or editing. The book has a good mixture of Pamela’s job, the routines in her everyday life, and the mystery. The murder mystery has plenty of suspects which makes the investigation interesting. I think Pamela and Bettina sometimes overstep in their amateur sleuthing, but overall this is an entertaining book. Even though I’m coming in late to the series, I’m glad I finally found it. I am not a knitter, but those who are will find instructions for knitting a hat at the end of the entertaining story.

I received this ebook from NetGalley through the courtesy of Kensington Books. An advance copy was provided to me at no cost, but my review is voluntary and unbiased.
