The police are quick to call it an accident, but sorting out Gloria's final hours leaves too many loose ends to satisfy her friends. The vivacious, fiftysomething cougar had her French manicured tips in more than a few pots, and the threads of some inside deals stashed in her chic knitting tote.
Who was the last person to see Gloria alive on that quiet summer night? Two empty wine glasses suggest she wasn't home alone knitting the entire evening.... The Black Sheep need to know the truth and set out to unravel -- stitch by stitch -- the weighty secrets that pulled poor Gloria under.
My thoughts:
This is the second in the series and I have not had the opportunity to pick up the first one. Kind of reminded me of Debbie Macomber's Blossom Street series because of the knitting and the group of women, but that's where it ended. Maggie, Phoebe, Dana, Suzanne, and Lucy are all great friends. They spend time together quite often in Maggie's knitting store, but they also get together once a week for dinner and knitting. When one of their friends is found dead in her pool, the women are certain she was murdered. The alcohol and drugs found in her system don't sway them from their determination.
A wonderful and warm camedrie is found with these women and I quite enjoyed myself. Different characters that mesh well together; you can tell they really cared about each other. I've tried knitting on and off over the years, but I just can't seem to get the knack of it. I crochet and I love it! But there are some recipes, knitting instructions and a letter to the reader from each of the characters in the back of the book. If you like cozy mysteries give this one a try!

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
