    About this audiobook

    With her shy manner and baggy jeans, Rose Malone becomes an unlikely superhero the night she stumbles into Izzy Chambers' shop and inadvertently saves a shipment of yarn from water damage. When the Seaside Knitters help the enigmatic handywoman settle into town and find work at a popular real-estate company, Rose proves she can fix just about anything — until a potential homebuyer is killed, and she becomes entangled in murder....

    The moment controversial entrepreneur Spencer Hamilton is found dead accusations fly at the last person on the property — Rose. But the Seaside Knitters have their doubts. After all, Spencer's political aspirations as well as his plans to pave over Sea Harbor's historic art district have earned him some very real enemies....

    Now, Izzy, Birdie, Nell, and Cass must swap knitting for sleuthing. As tensions build in the sleepy New England community and Rose's secret past unravels, the ladies face an unsettling realization: True victims aren't always the ones buried six feet under....

      Very sappy. Mystery is unsolvable by the reader. Knitting is not a big feature. No wit.
    • 5/5
      This is a great addition to the Seaside Knitters Society. A young woman returns to town to face her painful past and finish healing. A victim of bullying in school, she has emerged strong and calm, but now has an opportunity to face the man who bullied her as a child. He is still a bully and intent on winning at any cost. The back story of the bully and his multiple victims emerges slowly throughout the story and the message is certainly timely. This series always delivers a picture of strong, supportive women and a warm, caring neighborhood. The solution to the mystery was a perfect fit and a complete surprise.

      How to Knit a Murder by Sally Goldenbaum takes us to Sea Harbor, Massachusetts. Rose Chopra has returned to town to heal after the death of her mother. Rose is admiring the display in The Seaside Knitting Studio when Bree McIntosh draws her inside. Rose saves a new shipment of yarn from water damage and then proceeds to fix the leak for Izzy Perry. When Izzy learns that Rose is staying at a run down boardinghouse, she invites her to live in the apartment above the shop. Stella Palazola, a local realtor, offers Rose a job as the fix-it person for her listings. Spencer Paxton III has been making enemies with his plans to destroy Sea Harbor’s historic district and his political aspirations. Spencer wishes to purchase a home that he father tried to acquire many years ago. That listing needs some dry wall repaired from squirrel damage and it is Rose’s first job with Stella. When Spencer is found dead inside the home, fingers point at Rose since she was the last person known to have been on the property. The Seaside Knitters rally round Rose and begin exploring Spencer’s murder. They have no shortage of suspects including Mayor Scaglia. Can the group stitch together the clues to reveal the killer?How to Knit a Murder is part of A Seaside Knitters Society Mystery series. If you have not read any of the previous twelve books in the series, I do not recommend starting with How to Knit a Murder (it would be confusing for new readers). While I enjoyed the earlier books in this series, I was not drawn into this one. I found the pace to be slow (the book dragged for me) with the murder not occurring until I was 39% through the book. By the time Spencer was found dead, I already knew the killers’ identity (plus I knew Spencer would be the one to die). There was little investigating by the knitting group (they did discuss the case). There are many cozy moments in the story with the group enjoying their Thursday night get togethers, chatting, eating, and knitting. I liked the reference to Grey’s Anatomy made by Mae. Bullying and its devastating effects are addressed in How to Knit a Murder. There is a knitting pattern for a slouchy cardigan at the end. How to Knit a Murder does contain all our favorite knitters plus the new addition of Rose with a quaint small town (good basis for a cozy). The characters are well-developed, but there are a number of them. It can be hard to keep them all straight. I like the charming town of Sea Harbor with the various artistic characters (creative bunch of people) and the charming knitting shop (I wish we had one in my town). I would, though, like the author needs to focus on the mystery element (make the story less predictable). The author needs to deviate from her formula and provide a complex mystery with active investigating (less eating). I hope Sally Goldenbaum ups her game in the next installment in A Seaside Knitters Society Mystery series. I am giving How to Knit a Murder 3 out of 5 stars.
    • 3/5
      The Seaside Knitters series by Sally Goldenbaum delights the reader with the wonderful food and enduring friendships. Goldenbaum knits a fantastic tale with the seasonal splendor transporting the reader to the beauty of Massachusetts. I adore the friendship and loyalty of this small coastal community, and the sense that every citizen actively works and very few individuals do nothing. The murder of a Spencer Paxton creates ridges of the past to explore in order to find the killer. Goldenbaum plunges into school bullying and the effects of this bullying, and wonders if this explains Paxton’s death. In the past, school bullying attracted too little attention, but now the situation screams in the newspapers, as student bring guns to settle bullying. Sally Goldenbaum’s How to Knit a Murder, reads quickly but gives a pleasant diversion.
    • 4/5
      Sometimes you just need to read a cozy mystery set in a quaint seaside town full of characters you feel you know. But don’t be fooled, this is a twisted contemporary story of murder and long buried secrets set around an artist community in Sea Harbor, Massachusetts. I enjoyed reading this book through the holidays, and didn’t realize until I finished that it was part of a series. Now I can look up the earlier tales in the Seaside Knitters Society Mystery series. Bonus: if you knit there is a pattern included. 4 stars
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this book. This is the first of Sally Goldenbaum's books I have read, but I really liked the characters, the setting, and the mystery itself. When a man is killed in a mansion he has just bought, there are plenty of suspects. A teenaged bully, the victim grew up to be just as unlikeable as he was as a teen. The knitters managed to unravel the mystery though. I look forward to reading more in this series.
