PURL UP AND DIE
Book 13 in the Kitting Mystery series
by Maggie Sefton
In the latest novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Yarn Over Murder, Kelly Flynn and the Lambspun Knitters must unravel the truth from the lies to clear a friend’s son suspected of murder…
Kelly Flynn’s summer in Fort Connor, Colorado, is off to a great start with romantic celebrations with her boyfriend, Steve, and enjoyable—albeit challenging—knitting classes taught by her friend Barb at the House of Lambspun. But while Barb’s advanced stitches are giving Kelly the slip, a more deadly problem soon has her friend coming apart at the seams.
A young woman has accused Barb’s son, Tommy—a young doctor doing his residency—of assaulting her. The yarns spun by the local rumor mill are bad enough, but when the young woman is found dead in her ransacked apartment, Tommy becomes the number one suspect.
The police are ready to close the case, but Kelly is convinced that there are a few more likely suspects. Now she has to knit together the clues herself to uncover a killer who doesn’t seem to drop a stitch.

MY REVIEW
I’ve mentioned this in a previous review, but 13 certainly
not an unlucky number. At least not when it means the 13th in a cozy
mystery series! PURL UP AND DIE is one of the best books in the Knitting
Mystery series so far! Author Maggie Sefton has written another wonderful
whodunit with this book.
I went through a lot of nail biting reading this story. I
wasn’t sure how the author was going to sort things out at the end of the book.
I was so sure I was on the right track at times, but something always happened
that completely threw me off. When the reveal came, I was stunned. I really
didn’t see it coming. Well done, Ms. Sefton!
It would be fun to understand kitting, but it certainly it’s
not required to enjoy this book or the series. You may however feel the urge to
learn, because the group of characters in this series seem to have a great time
with it!
I’m very much looking forward to see what mystery author
Sefton knits together for the fourteenth installment in this entertaining and
wonderfully written series!
And don’t miss the knitting pattern and delicious recipe at
the back of the book!
