It’s a cute mystery but the writing style is not for me.

I'm not a knitter (or crafty by any means, for that matter!), but you don't need to be to enjoy this fun debut by Emmie Caldwell. The character development is wonderful and relatable, especially with the relationship between main character Lia Geiger and her adult daughter. The mystery itself was done well, with enough red greetings thrown in that although I correctly guessed the killer fairly early on, I was still second-guessing myself until the reveal. I'm definitely looking forward to the next book in this series!

I’m somewhat hesitant to review this book because I have just never read anything like it before.
Apparently “cozy mysteries” are a niche genre. Whereas most mysteries tend towards thrillers, cozy mysteries are much more relaxed. Think a cup of tea and a blanket as a book.
It’s hard for me to apply typical critical reviewing standards. Perhaps the only fair thing to say is that this book was very chill.

I don't know I took so long to read this because I absolutely loved this book. I loved Lia Geiger and how she was with her daughter Hayley. It remined me of the relationship I have with my mom and I did enjoy reading about it. Don't get me started how her knitting club and how much I enjoyed their friendship. I didn't guess at all who the killer was or any of the twist which that made me enjoy the book even more. I have already told my mom she really needs to pick up the book ASAP. I want to thank Netgalley and Berkley Publishing Group for letting me read and review the book. I can't wait to read the next book in this series.
