Meet Casey who loves to bake, and also works for a private investigator. After her aunt dies unexpectedly she inherits her aunt's knitting retreat group. Casey has no idea what to do with this group. One of the members gets murder. Casey decides to use her investigator skills to try and solve this murder
Betty must knit, because of the way that she descripts different knitting stitches. I do knit and some of these abbreviations I didn't know. So that part was very helpful to me. One of the other things that I liked about YARN TO GO is that at the end, she gives the pattern for one of the items that one character was knitting. There is also a recipe for muffins. Since I also bake, this will be added to my collections of recipes.
Betty's description of the retreat is breath taking. It makes you feel that if you look out your window you could see the same thing. The view is great. There were a couple twists and turns in this book. I have to say, I didn't figure this one out until the end. Which just shows what a talented writer Betty Hechtman is.
I can't wait for the next one in this series to come out.
Book Summary
Dessert chef Casey Feldstein doesn’t know a knitting needle from a crochet hook. But after her aunt dies unexpectedly, leaving Casey to run her yarn retreat business, the sweets baker finds herself rising to the occasion—and trying to unravel a murder mystery…
When Casey finds out that her late aunt’s business, Yarn2Go, has one more yarn retreat scheduled, she decides to go ahead and host the event, despite her complete lack of experience as a knitter. At least the retreat is on the beautiful Monterey Peninsula.
But the idyllic setting is soured when a retreat regular is found murdered in her hotel room. Feeling a sense of responsibility, Casey begins to weave the clues together and detects a pattern which may shed light on her aunt’s suspicious death. Despite the danger, the last thing Casey plans to do is retreat. She’ll catch this killer…or dye trying.
Includes a knitting pattern and a recipe!
