When a spooky celebration in Arborville, New Jersey conjures real scares, can Pamela and the Knit and Nibble Club sink their teeth into a bone-chilling mystery that just won't rest in peace?
Among the countless revelers at the town's much-anticipated Halloween parade, a woman dressed as Little Bo Peep is the only one making people scream bloody murder. In a scene straight out of a horror movie, the Knit and Nibblers find the nursery rhyme character dead with thick strands of yarn looped around her neck. Pamela and her best friend, Bettina, are set on pinning down who wanted the woman gone forever, but it'll take every trick they can muster to catch the culprit without becoming the next poor souls to join Little Bo Peep's dark, endless sleep . . .
Knitting tips and delicious recipes included!
Knit of the Living Dead by Peggy Ehrhart is a beautiful Halloween mystery.
Will Pamela, Bettina, and Nell figure out who is on a killing spree in their little town?
The Lady Sleuths
Our sleuths are part of the Knit and Nibble Knitting Club. These ladies have a nose for finding the culprits. But let’s not forget that they have their weekly knitting night and like to get together to share their lives. They each have distinctive personalities that set them apart. Yet, they work well together for the good of their small New Jersey town.
Pamela is our point of view, for the most part. She is like a super sleuth. Pamela is widowed, and her daughter is in college away from home.
Nell is married and the oldest of the three. She sometimes wants to help but also comes from a generation where she doesn’t like to buck authority (unless it is needed).
Bettina is also married. She lives across the street from Pamela. Bettina loves food and bright clothing and writes for a local newspaper.
These three ladies are excellent at investigating.
The Mystery
We start on Halloween at the town’s celebratory bonfire, where a woman is killed. The ladies know the victim and don’t think that the local detective’s direction will be useful. So, they begin to investigate the murder. But then another murder happens, and another. Are they related? Who could be doing this? So many questions but not a lot of suspects. However, in the end, the ladies figure it out before Detective Clayborn has a clue.
Four Stars
This is the first Knit and Nibble Mystery that I have read. I liked it. These ladies find some delicious treats while investigating the murders. I enjoyed following them around and getting to know them and their other knitting group members. If you are into knitting and mysteries, this could be a new series for you.
Included in the back of the book is a knitting pattern for a Trick-or-Treat tote and a couple of “nibbles” recipes for you to try: Pumpkin-Spice Crumb Cake and Roland’s Easy Candy-Corn Halloween Cookies.
