Well I sure am late to this party. This is the 9th in the Black Sheep Knitting series and this is the first I have read. After enjoying this entry I will happily be playing catchup. I may not know a knitting needle from a hole in the ground but I do know a good cozy when I read it. The setting is a spa weekend on the coast of Maine where a group of friends are celebrating the upcoming wedding of Lucy. Her friend, Maggie - owner of Black Sheep Knitting is going to teach a knitting class as a favor to a friend. Finding the dead body of a nasty man they had met the day before isn't part of the relaxing weekend they had planned. So, of course the ladies set off to find out who did the deed. The clues are fair, the pace and dialog work well and the ending is satisfying.

If you like cozys and you like to knit, this is one for you! Don't worry if you don't like to knit, it's still a classic and very entertaining. Lucy and her friends are on a women's weekend in advance of her wedding at a Maine resort I know I'd like to visit. Regrettably, a creep, who has been rotten to lots of people, is found dead on the beach. Lucy and company end up investigating- and there are some red herrings along the way to the truth. There's some snappy dialogue (Lucy herself can be a tad sarcastic) and good descriptions. I've read some but not all of the books in this series and you'll be fine if you haven't read any of them. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC and to Canada for, among other things, the recipe.

I have read several books by this author. It has been a while and so it took me a little bit of reading to re-familiarize myself with these characters. I really enjoy these books. In this one, Lucy and her friends steal away for a girls weekend before Lucy gets married. While on vacation, a man is murdered. These women sound like such a nice bunch. They eat and play together. I wish I could knit like they do. The mystery was good and I was a bit surprised by the murderer. I kept looking at other suspects. I will continue you read more books by this author.

Knit to Kill by Anne Canadeo is a fantastic addition to the series.
Lucy Binger is ready to tie the knot and her friends have arranged a "Girls Only" weekend in the quaint, picturesque town of Osprey Island, set on the gorgeous east coast.
What can be more relaxing than yoga, spa sessions, pool time and your best friends?
While in this little town, Maggie, owner of Black Sheep Knitting is also teaching a knitting class as a favor for their luxurious accommodations.
No one believes that there will be another dead body, another investigation, and even worse, a murderer on the loose!
Like a dropped stitch in a favorite pattern, Lucy can't resist working the investigation with her best friends.
No one is mourning the death of the not so nice victim, but Lucy can't help but try and figure things out, especially when it's for a friend.
These ladies are such a fun group, I found myself wishing I was there with them.
I have been a fan of this series for a couple of years now, and reading a Black Sheep Knitting mystery is like hanging out with dear friends.
All the ladies have their own unique personality and style and that contributes to the sense of realness I get when I open the book.
I can't wait to read more in this series.
I voluntarily read an ARC of this book provided by the publisher and NetGalley.

Knit to Kill by Anne Canadeo is another great addition to the Black Sheep Knitting series.  If you are a fan of this series you will recognize all the charcters and enjoy catching up with them. This new mystery takes place during a girls weekend getaway in Maine. I loved the setting of Osprey Shores and the descriptions of the surrounding nature made it a place I would love to visit.  You will not be disappointed with this book even if you figure out who did it. You will enjoy the process with the Black Sheep.

An enjoyable well written mystery, kept me interested throughout the story, only wish I could knit!

This book reminded me of an Agatha Christie. It's a gentle book that just has that same feeling. The characters are interesting, and the mystery is intriguing enough to keep you interested through the whole book. And, as a knitting addict, I could totally relate to the women hauling their knitting with them everywhere.

A solid cozy mystery. Plenty of suspects and a well paced story.

Reading KNIT TO KILL was like taking fresh breaths of sea air. Pleasurable and invigorating! Author Anne Canadeo establishes an intricate plot set at a lovely resort off the coast of Maine, Osprey Shores. The knitting ladies go away for a nice weekend to celebrate with bachelorette, Lucy, who's about to marry Matt. As fate would have it, the friends are pulled into a murder mystery when a lifeless body is found on the beach after the morning fog begins to clear. Ms. Canadeo skillfully weaves in a number of clues for readers to ferret out along with the merry cast of characters. I love each of the knitter ladies and their different personalities, so well sculpted by the author that I feel like I could get along with them in real life. There is a lot of emotional turmoil amidst several of the secondary characters which had me vexed as to who the culprit(s) might be.

The writing and plot are refreshing and the pages zip by quickly. I was having so much fun partying and sleuthing with these gals I didn't want the story to end! Knit to Kill is now my favorite story in the series. Brava!

Because I am both a knitter and a lover of cozy mysteries this series hits my sweet spot. It features interesting well-developed female characters who grow as the series progresses, a beautiful setting and compelling plots. Maggie, Dana, Lucy, Suzanne and Phoebe are the Black Sheep Knitters, a group of friends who get together frequently. Lucy is getting married and Suzanne has arranged for the group to stay at her friend Amy's house on Osprey Island for a get together before the wedding. But, with these women, wherever they go murder and mayhem are sure to follow. When Amy's husband is suspected of the murder of one of the island's residents, the group springs into action once again. I love this series and couldn't put the book down once I started it until it was finished. I highly recommend it.
