Death of a Knit Wit

Knit and Nibble Mystery Series, Book 8

By: Peggy Ehrhart

Narrated by: Callie Beaulieu

When a professor is poisoned, Pamela Paterson and the members of the Knit and Nibble knitting club must take a crash course in solving his mysterious murder.

Pamela has organized a weekend-long knitting bee as part of a conference on fiber arts and crafts at Wendelstaff College. But when pompous Professor Robert Greer-Gordon Critter, the keynote speaker at the conference, crashes the bee, he seems more interested in flirting than knitting. The man's reputation as a philanderer supersedes his academic reputation. After coffee and cookies are served, the professor suddenly collapses, seemingly poisoned - but how? Everyone had the coffee and cookies.

Joined by her bestie Bettina and the Knit and Nibble ladies, Pamela sorts through everything from red socks to red herrings to unravel the means and motives of a killer dead set on teaching the professor a lesson....

A relaxing and fun listen

Dealth of a Knit Wit was a delightful story. A sweet and easy book to follow while you are knitting.

Lovable Charactets

This is a story well worth the read. The heroine becomes more lovable with each book in the series.

More plot and less food please...

These stories move too slowly. By now we all know they eat toast and have china they use regularly, we don't need that repeated. Peggy needs to take a deep breath, reinvent some storylines and get a new editor. As I have said before, this series is moving slower than an ice glacier. If it weren't for the book sale I would have skipped the rest of the books, but I went ahead and got them during the deep sale. I hope they pick up pace and have new details, less food and descriptions. I enjoy Penny and wish she had more in the series.

Boss is toxic and it ruined the book.

The fiber arts boss has previously been written as level headed and fair; however in this book she was toxic to the point of distraction. While our main character is worried she might be letting go, I was internally yelling at her to quit that toxic relationship. In the real world, if a boss reacted to a tragedy that way, you’d call them out and file with HR. In the end, the boss’s unrealistic actions didn’t even add to the storyline, it was completely unneeded. I’ve loved every installment up until this one, and her character just might have ruined the series for me. If you’re struggling at your employment amidst the new added strain of COVID, then this book is not for you. It’s infuriating and belittles our copy editor we’ve come to love.
