Knot Guilty

 All things considered, being that I did not read books 1-8, this was enjoyable. Knot Guilty is #9 in the Crochet Mystery Series and was very easily read as a stand-alone book. Now I'm sure that if I had read the previous 8 books, I would be more informed and invested in the ongoing story line and characters, however this book and I'm sure the rest in the series is easy to read and follow along. In this book, we are immersed into the hectic and hilarious world of a knitter's convention, that has for the first time allowed the step-child "Crochet" to enter its' illustrious ranks. High handed shenanigans and shameless self-promotion ensue all in the name of crochet, until a seemingly tragic death at the hotel that hosts the convention turns into suspicious circumstances. The hunt begins for the real killer before one of the "hookers" (as in crochet hooks) ends up behind bars for the murder. Let me just say that I totally didn't see the killer coming at the end and there were a lot of twists and turns while searching and ultimately finding the truth. If you are looking for a fun feel good read with a twist of intrigue, this series might be for you, however, unlike me, you may want to start with the beginning of the series. Or maybe not, if you are a maverick like me (not really though). Enjoy!
