A fun quirky mystery with a very relatable main character. Molly Pink is the events coordinator of a bookstore and is learning how to crochet when she finds a body...a body who happens to be the old leader of the crochet group and a woman she used to know. To clear her name, Molly must both learn to crochet and figured out who murdered Ellen. Looking forward to the next one in the series. (Crochet Group name is also fun-the Tarzana Hookers.)

3.5 but I’ll leave it at 3
A cozy mystery centered around crochet. It has a granny square washcloth pattern in the back, along with a pound cake and buttercream frosting recipe.
It was fine, kept me guessing throughout. I know the point of these cozy mysteries is that you have someone in way over their head trying to solve a mystery, but I felt like Molly Pink, our MC, did take some extraordinary leaps to try and solve the mystery, and not in subtle or clever ways. I was hoping for a little bit more of the romance, but maybe that will come to play in future books.
I will continue reading the series however. My library has book 5 and on, so I’ll have to find books 2-4. Maybe I can pull them off the $1 shelf at BookOff.

Crochet tips and patterns along with a fun easy read, what's not to love? The characters make me smile and sometimes laugh out loud.

took a while to get into this book, not a bad read but I didn't enjoy it as much as I do the Monica Ferris series.

I couldn't do it. The writing was just bad and the main character wouldn't stop talking about her weight and calories at completely irrelevant points. Also, who sets a cozy murder mystery in LA? Cozy reads are set in small towns so that they're, y'know, COZY. The audiobook's narration sadly only made everything worse; if you told me an AI had narrated this I probably would've believed you considering how utterly robotic Strom's performance was! Safe to say, this did knot have me hooked.
