Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
At the start of Kruger's pun-filled cozy, the first in a new series, Ariadne "Ari" Evans, the 29-year-old owner of Ariadne's Web (a knitting shop in Freeport, Mass.), is shocked to discover the body of a customer, Edith Perry, strangled with some of her best homespun yarn. How did the murderer enter the shop after hours? Who had keys? What was the motive? Determined to get the answers to these questions, Ari persuades detective Joshua Hayes to let her help in the investigation. Under suspicion are Ari's closest friend, a spinner, and her husband, who feared losing their farm because the victim's abutting land was under threat of development. Keeping the plot bubbling along are a host of small-town characters, including Ari's harassing ex-husband, an avaricious realtor, the local gossip, Edith's husband and ne'er-do-well son. An attack on Ari provokes her into action and, heedless of danger, she sets a trap for the killer with smashing results. Kruger is also the author of Death on the Cliff Walk and other titles in her Gilded Age mystery series.

Fun read not only for knitters, Sep 11 2005

This review is from: Died in the Wool: A Knitting Mystery (Paperback)
If you like mysteries and you are a knitter, you will especially enjoy this book and the characters therein.This book is written in an easy and lively way and even though I have read mysteries with more complex plots, this one was not too transparent, and you will not put it aside before you finished it. A little romance was also put in the mix and an older auntie who somehow gets things right without sometimes knowing it.
In summary I recommend this book to everyone who is looking for a light and fun read.

This review is from: Died in the Wool: A Knitting Mystery (Paperback)
You don't have to be a fan of knitting to enjoy this book, but it helps. Mary Kruger brings to life a great band of characters, an interesting locale, and a satisfactory mystery. Not only that, she does it with good grammar, a quality seldom seen in today's crop of writers. If you enjoy a good cosy, you'll find this book a treat.

Wonderful Knitting and Mystery, Jun 25 2006
By C. A Scovel "Christina Scovel" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Died in the Wool: A Knitting Mystery (Paperback)
Died in the Wool is the start to a new mystery series that revolves around Ari (the owner of a knitting store called Ariadne's Web. Ari finds a dead body in her shop and this leads to the mystery of figuring out who "done" it. Ari's best friend spun the wool that was used on the victim. This makes her and her husband prime suspects. Ari knows that her friend could never have done it and continues investigating the death, much to the dismay of the detective. This story is filled with questions, answers, knitting, spinning, and love. Much better than any other knitting mystery.
