Pamela Paterson and her Knit and Nibble knitting club are selling stuffed aardvarks at the annual town festival to help raise money for Arborville, New Jersey’s High School’s sports program. But just as she’s packing up, she makes a shocking discovery—someone’s stashed a dead body under their display table.
The victim is Randall Jefferson, a history teacher who has been decidedly unpopular since his recent op-ed criticizing the school’s sports program. But the primary suspect has an alibi, and the only clue is a stuffed aardvark found on the victim’s chest. Now the Knit and Nibblers must unravel the case quickly—before a crafty killer repeats a deadly pattern. [summary via Amazon]
THEME: Knitting. The series centres around the "Aborville Knit and Nibble Knitting group.
CRIME: History teacher, Randall Jefferson, is murdered. He has been very vocal in his opposition to the high school athletic program. However, it seems more people outside of the school had a "beef" with him.
DENOUEMENT: This is only the second book I've read in this series, but I really like how the mystery unravels. Friends and Knit & Nibblers, Pamela and Bettina, team up to go "snooping" and I like how they collect the clues and solve the mystery!
FURRY SIDEKICK: Catrina, is the adorable feline that Pamela adopted in the first book. She's joined by Woofus, Bettina's dog, and its fun to watch them romp through the pages.
ROMANCE: Is there something starting with Pamela's neighbour, Richard Larkin? Oh I hope so!
MY VERDICT: Being a knitter, I really like this series! The author includes a "knit and a nibble" at the end of the book, and I like checking out the knitting pattern after the mystery. Although, I do wish she included the aardvark pattern, because they are so cute! Died in the Wool was a really fun addition to the series, and I will definitely be continuing on!
