    About this audiobook

    When murder silences the Christmas cheer in charming Arborville, New Jersey, Pamela and her Knit and Nibble pals must unravel the most bone-chilling mystery this side of the North Pole . . .

    Pamela has been in merry spirits since her artsy daughter Penny returned home from college for the holidays. But their mother-daughter bonding time gets cut short when a terrified Penny stumbles upon the dumped body of Millicent Farthingale, a wealthy craft shop owner who was popular for all the wrong reasons. From a scheming business partner to a seedy husband several years her junior, Millicent attracted scammers so in love with her assets, they'd toss her down a chimney to get their paws on them. Now, with only a hand-knit red scarf connecting the killer to the crime, Pamela and the Knit and Nibblers could use some extra creativity as they find out who's really naughty or nice in Arborville-because going up against a looming culprit is DIY or die!

      Pamela Paterson is getting ready for Christmas with her daughter Penny, who is home from college for the holidays. But things aren't very merry when she receives a frantic phone call -- Penny has found the body of a local craft store owner in a nature preserve where she was sketching.When Pamela and her best friend Bettina, who is a reporter for the weekly newspaper The Advocate, get involved, they know there's a killer out there and they're determined to find out who it is. But just questioning people isn't going anywhere, and the dead woman's husband might have a motive but he also has an alibi. Now they have a couple of others to focus on, but they haven't ruled him out.They're also trying to get ready for Christmas, with wrapping last-minute gifts and planning parties, and Pamela has been cooking up a storm. When one of the suspects suddenly turns up closer than Pamela would like, she's on the hunt to figure it out. But will she be able to do it before the holidays are over?This is the fourth book in the series, and I honestly don't know why I'm continuing on with it. I guess because I bought the books, I tell myself I should finish them.The main problem with the books is the fact that people are rarely knitting. They're always eating. And we get long, detailed descriptions of what they're eating. Over and over. We know that Pamela loves whole-grain bread, because she tells us every time she has a slice. We also know she drinks tons of coffee. There were over four pages detailing every step of making the poppy seed cake. Why? Why are we told in every single book about Pamela's wedding china? About Bettina's sage green dishes? Do we really care? Who does that? We're told about Bettina's pumpkin-colored coat numerous times. It's as if the author needed a heavy word count. The result? Very little time was spent on the mystery.To top it off, there were no clues apparent to us on who the murderer might be, until after they were discovered and Pamela explained it -- and we wouldn't have figured it out anyway! Not with that one clue. Why didn't the police get closer to the killer? They never do, and they're inept in these books. There is no detective presence at all, just Bettina relaying messages.In the end, this book gave us exactly what all the other books have done: unanswered questions as to what happened to various characters. It's as annoying as Nell, who disapproves of anyone eating anything that isn't healthy. (None of her business, and she shouldn't spout it off to people). What others eat isn't anyone's business but their own. (No, I don't want to see people gorge themselves, but not my circus, not my monkeys).I know this sounds like a rant, but I wish there were more murder clues and less descriptions of food and dinnerware. Saying that, when the killer was discovered, it came as a surprise, because...there were no clues. Ah, well. I guess I'll just go have a cup of coffee, with cream, in my pretty red reindeer mug and have a slice of homemade banana swirl bread on a blue-rimmed plate...

      Penny is home from college for Christmas. She stumbles across the body of Millicent Fairchild, owner of the craft shop in the next town, as she is in the park. Who wants Millicent dead and why?The Knit and Nibble Knitting Club has another murder to solve. Well, Pamela and Bettina do. The rest are getting ready for Christmas or babies. As they come across clues, they have to be careful of how they say they found those clues. Once again I can say I am no detective. I could not solve this one. I needed the mystery solved for me as well as the why. It was fun to visit these characters and see Pamela deal with an empty nest and try to treat Penny as an adult. She is all mother hen over some of what happens. I liked seeing more of Bettina's family. Looking forward to more Knit and Nibble.

      Silent Knit, Deadly Knit by Peggy Ehrhart is the fourth A Knit & Nibble Mystery. Pamela, Wilfred, Bettina and the knitting group are back. They are gearing up for Christmas by finishing last minute gifts and enjoying Christmas cookies. Pamela is happy to have her daughter, Penny home for the winter holidays. I like the diverse group of people that make up the knitting group. They are friendly bunch who get together to create beautifully knit items while they chat and eat items that they have made. Of course, when there is a murder to solve, they brainstorm and snoop. I like that we get to learn more about Pamela as well as the knitting members in each story. We also get to catch up on the lives of the kittens who love to chase yarn and get into mischief. There are some lovely yarn descriptions that had me wanting to add to my stash (which consists of six large totes at the moment). Pamela and the knitting group get involved in the death of Millicent Farthingale. Millicent is a woman of means who is married to Pierre, a French Canadian and owns a local craft store. The mystery was not the primary focus of the book. Pamela was focused on decorating for the holidays, making cookies, and spending time with Penny. There are a couple of suspects in Millicent’s death, but the killer can be pegged in the first quarter of the book. I wish the mystery had been the focus and that it had been more complex. I am glad that the romance between Pamela and Richard is not being rushed. However, I believe it is time to move forward and for them to actually go out (they have been acting juvenile for two mature adults). Silent Knit, Deadly Knit is nicely written, and the story moved along at a nice pace. It can be read as a standalone for those new to the series. There are lovely cozy moments and some humor sprinkled throughout. Silent Knit, Deadly Knit is a merry cozy mystery with scrumptious cookies, yummy yarn, fun felines, Christmas carols, and a meddlesome murder.

      The characters are important in Peggy Ehrhart's Knit & Nibble cozy series, and I do enjoy them all, especially Pamela who has a tendency to remind me of me as far as my wardrobe (and a few other things) go. In this fourth book in the series, Pamela is learning to trust her college-age daughter in the midst of all the holiday festivities. The mystery is a good one in Silent Knit, Deadly Knit, but it definitely takes a backseat to Christmas so keep that in mind. If you're in the mood for lots of holiday cheer and a little dash of mystery to spice it up, this will be perfect for you.

      culinary, knitting, friendship, cozy-mystery, murder, murder-investigationIt was supposed to be a fun time with daughter home for the Christmas holidays and good friends to share with. But then daughter is out sketching in the woods but finds the body of a wealthy craft shop owner and everything becomes complicated. Add in the woman's boy toy, an alleged sister, intrusive reporters, the support of the knitting group, and the sleuthing begins. Great afternoon read!I requested and received a free ebook copy from Kensington Books via NetGalley.
