I've only ever read one book like this - I suppose "cozy" mystery is the phrase. The other one had been OK, so I wasn't expecting much more than that. However, I was pleasantly surprised. I really liked this one. Even laughed out loud in a few parts. Also, as an ex knitter and avid crocheter, I found I could relate to much of the things these characters ran into when dealing with crochet. Also, the mystery was pretty well done. I didn't guess who the murder was until a few pages before the main character realized.

I'd read more from this series, for sure. In fact, I just ordered the second book in the series!

The only minus, for me, was the crochet pattern included. I didn't make it ... but, just looking at the pattern, it seemed as if was just a large granny square. Maybe it looks more interesting than it sounds.
