Stitched in Crime
My Thoughts
Stitched in Crime by Emmie Caldwell has Lia solving the murder of fellow crafter, Cori Littlefield. Stitched in Crime is the second A Craft Fair Knitters Mystery and it can be read as a standalone. The story contains good writing with medium
pacing. The characters are realistic and
relatable. They are, though, still works
in progress. I feel the characters especially
the background characters need more development. It can be hard to keep track of the various
secondary characters because there are so many of them. I thoroughly enjoyed the descriptions of Cori’s
crocheted items. They sounded
amazing. The mystery was thought out
with good clues, several suspects, and a red herring. Cori was a talented artist, but she had an
issue from her childhood that troubled her.
It led to the woman having problems as an adult. It depends on your sleuthing level on how
soon you solve this whodunit. I thought one
suspect stood out above the others. The
case was neatly wrapped up at the end. I
like the Ninth Street Knitters. They are
a great bunch of people who create lovely knitted items. It is great how Lia and the group work to
solve the case (they are a clever bunch who do not let grass grow under their
feet). Stitched in Crime is a creative
cozy with a creative crocheter who is now a corpse, a daughter’s muddled mess, a
confusing cold case, messy memories, delicious dinners, an awful accident, and a
frustrating fundraiser.
