This was my first Crochet Mystery in the series. I picked it up at a Library sale and read it without going back to the beginning of the series. I found the setting which is Tarzana in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles to be an unlikely setting for the series. Most series like it {that I have read) have been staged in small towns and somewhat rural communities with a single police chief etc. The amateur sleuthing out policing the LAPD seemed a little un-plausible. That being said, it was fast moving and some of the characters likeable others not so much. The leader of the group, and chief sleuth is Molly. The story is largely about the murder/mystery and it's connection to her personal life. The jury is still out about if I pick up any more in the series. Reviews have generally been good of the previous books in this series.

There are quiet a few crafty and yarn based cozy mysteries out there. This series is about a group of friends who crochet, at a book store. I really like this author, and find her writing style one I devour, and enjoy. The pace is quick, but it doesnt get too snarky, or dark or quirky. By now we are on book 6, an I would say read the other books in order so you have a better idea of the relationships and how they have progressed with all the characters.

As far as the mystery, this had enough twists and turns, and red herrings to keep me reading and guessing.
