Murder, She Knit by Peggy Ehrhart

1.0

This just wasn’t for me… I read it for a book club, I likely wouldn’t have picked it up otherwise. I actually almost DNF this at around 55% because I truly just didn’t care about any aspect of this book. I’m not a knitter and I have very little interest in the hobby but that wasn’t even the issue. The storyline, the mystery, the protagonist are all boring, I found the main character, Pamela to be stuffy and excruciatingly judgemental. The murder weapon was predictable and cliche. It’s hypocritical of me to say but I judged this book by the cover and thought the cat may bring some redeeming (and much needed) zest to this book but the cat was a total after thought which made zero sense. It’s not even Pamela’s cat and she does nothing more for it than set out food on her front porch hoping it will come by to eat. What really made me lack interest were the similar names of characters that were mentioned the most throughout this book, Pamela, Petina and Penny. There was more than one occurrence where I forgot who was who and struggled to follow the characters storyline.

You may like this book if you enjoy knitting but otherwise I wouldn’t recommend it.
