AHAHAHA bet you guys didn’t know that knitting mysteries is a whole subgenre, like there are literally dozens of these things AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM HAS A PUN FOR A TITLE.
I know this because my mother has read all of them. We had a family bbq last weekend and my sister’s boyf was so genuinely delighted that he kept asking her for details so check some these titles:
- Knit Fast, Die Young
- A Stitch in Crime
- Sew Deadly (or possibly Sew Dangerous? she couldn’t remember)
- Knit One, Kill Two
- Crewel World
- Till Death Do Us Purl
- Dead Men Don’t Crochet
- Skein of the Crime (my personal fave)
The one she’s reading now features the owner of an antique shop who dies under what would normally be non-shady circumstances EXCEPT!!!!! except that there is a SUSPICIOUS LACE DOILY FOUND AT THE SCENE DUN DUN DUN!

My fellow RPGers will want to embiggen this.
Seems like a perfectly cromulent character to me.

Always funny, no regrets
1. HAHAHAHAHA
2. The sad thing is, it’s not even the killing of characters that’s the worst part. Somehow the deaths are some of the LEAST traumatic events of these books.

Poor Maurice Sendak, I guess we just don’t agree on ebooks.
