Book Description

Black Sheep Knitting Mystery December 29, 2009
Counting on each other...

Meet the Black Sheep knitters -- five smart, funny
women who love to knit, gossip, and solve crimes.

Gloria Sterling had it all -- money, looks, and a new sexy young husband. So when she's found floating face down in her own swimming pool, shock waves ripple through tiny Plum Harbor. At the Black Sheep Knitting Shop, Maggie Messina and her circle are devastated to lose their dear friend -- a woman as colorful as her fabulous yarn creations.

The police are quick to call it an accident, but sorting out Gloria's final hours leaves too many loose ends to satisfy her friends. The vivacious, fiftysomething cougar had her French manicured tips in more than a few pots, and the threads of some inside deals stashed in her chic knitting tote.

Who was the last person to see Gloria alive on that quiet summer night? Two empty wine glasses suggest she wasn't home alone knitting the entire evening.... The Black Sheep need to know the truth and set out to unravel -- stitch by stitch -- the weighty secrets that pulled poor Gloria under.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

At the start of Canadeo's delightful second Black Sheep knitting mystery (after 2009's While My Pretty One Knits), twice-widowed Gloria Sterling, an unofficial member of the local knitting circle, has returned from Florida to Plum Harbor, Mass., with a new husband, Jamie Barnett. A struggling artist, Jamie is much, much younger than his wealthy and glamorous bride. The five official members of the knitters group, led by Maggie Messina, owner of the Black Sheep Knitting Shop, at first suspect Jamie is after Gloria's fortune, but after seeing the pair together, they're reassured the couple are happy. When Gloria is found dead in her swimming pool, her fellow knitters, dissatisfied with a police verdict of accidental death, begin their own search for answers. Despite a predictable solution, the fast-paced plot will keep even nonknitters turning the pages. Web sites for knitting patterns and recipes are included. (Jan.)

4.0 out of 5 stars An Interesting "Yarn", January 8, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Knit, Purl, Die (Black Sheep Knitting Mystery) (Paperback)
I liked this book 2 in the Black Sheep series, but I have to be honest,book 1, Icould not put down!!! I pre-ordered it, and could not wait to get it,but was not as "into it" as I was with While My Pretty One Knits! I felt a "detachment" w/ the characters in Knit Purl Die...Like I was watching everything play out at a distance.The prior book made me feel like I was right there....I wanted to live right there in Plum Harbor with these fascinating women! Book 2 maybe doesn't go that "deep" with the women, as the author feels we "know" them well enough by now.Still, I was somewhat let down.I really like this author, and surely will read her follow-ups in this series.It is again, a good cozy, and worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down!, March 3, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Knit, Purl, Die (Black Sheep Knitting Mystery) (Paperback)
This author has become a part of my "mystery list" favorite. Character development is excellent and by the end of the story I'd felt as though they were friends. The mystery and plot kept me reading til the end. Recommended series!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not my favorite mystery, June 11, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Knit, Purl, Die (Black Sheep Knitting Mystery) (Paperback)
This book was very disappointing. I knew who the murderer was from the very beginning. Also, the characters were not memorable. I took the next book in the series off my wish list. I like the Seaside Knitting Mysteries much better.
