In the 7th installment of this series, there’s no real connection between the Knit and Nibble members. But when a woman is found dead courtesy of knitting needles, Pamela and Bettina start sleuthing anyway.

This book isn’t so much a mystery to me because the mystery doesn’t take center stage. What really comes through in this book, similar to the previous books, is the friendships between characters and the knitting patterns that are sprinkled throughout and we see Pamela’s daughter Penny make an appearance in the books. And I love the cats, as always.

I recommend this series to anyone who likes cozy mysteries, with an emphasis on the cozy.

Knitty Gritty Murder is a knitting themed cozy mystery that revolves around a body found in the local community garden and two women from a local knitting club. The two main characters are eccentric and a bit bossy, however, they get the job done when it comes to solving crimes. The mystery is strong and kept me guessing until the very end. Some of the descriptions carried on a bit long, but it was a good book. I love the cover. I highly recommend it to any cozy mystery fan.

This is the 7th installment in the Knit and Nibble Mystery series. Pamela Paterson and her Knit and Nibble group in Arborville New Jersery are on a new case. This time of year the community is using the community gardens to plant seasonal veggies and herbs. Farm to table enthusiast Jenny Miller is working on a cookbook and is found dead in her plot in the garden with a circular knitting needle used to strangle her. Could it be a knitter or someone she knows? Pamela and her neighbor Bettina are on the case and determined to prove it was not a knitter. They are a great pair of sleuthers, and friends and funny how she keeps pushing Pamela to get out of her comfort zone and start dating. Another good solid addition to this series with a good mystery that keeps you engaged in the story. Looking forward to the next in this series.

Entertaining cozy mystery!
Amazing characters, easy to read story and interesting ideas for knitting and baking.

I enjoyed this book. I like the characters, they're well developed. I liked the mystery although there isn't a lot of investigating going on still Pamela figures out who the killer is. I like the cats. #KnittyGrittyMurder #NetGalley

Through NetGalley, I received a free copy of KNITTY GRITTY MURDER (Book 7 of the Knit & Nibble Mysteries) by Peggy Ehrhart in exchange for an honest review. Pamela Paterson and her best friend Bettina have a new murder to investigate. This time, a community garden participant is strangled with a circular knitting needle while tending her plant plot. Pamela and Bettina work to uncover gossip from and about the community gardeners, but they struggle to identify the guilty knitter hiding among them. Meanwhile, Bettina continues to push Pamela into dating, and Pamela still struggles with the idea of finding a new love. Pamela’s daughter Penny comes home for the summer and finds a new love hiding in Pamela’s basement.

I liked this book and enjoy the series. I note that, though the other books involved food, this book absolutely fixated on the topic. I found it a little odd because the fixation about organic quality, etc. did not extend to the cats’ food. It made me wonder if the author was dieting. If you are dieting, be cautious and read it on a full stomach. I recommend the book to fans of the series. I recommend the series to fans of cozy mysteries featuring murder, knitting, knitting groups, editors, reporters, cats, and food.

As a fan of the series, I enjoyed the well written characters and their interactions which sleuthing away.

Great read by a new author for me. The plot is well written and enticing to the reader. The author writes in a way that makes the reader feel like part of The story.

A circular knitting tool, used to murder a young woman who practiced urban farming, has Pamela and Bettina stumped. Who on earth, would use such a tool and why would the person or persons murder such an innocent victim? The ladies are determined to prove a fellow knitter was not responsible for such a crime.

I'm a fan of the series and enjoy reading about the adventures of the amateur sleuths. The characters are so well written that they seem to "leap" off the page! Not only does the mystery entertain, but the descriptions of other aspects of their lives - neighborhood, family, home, cooking - are lush and enjoyable. I liked the little bit of romance in the book and hope for more.

I'm hoping for another trip back to Arborville!

I received an ARC from NetGalley and the opinions expressed in this we are my own.

Pamela and her Knit and Nibble Knitting group are back hunting a killer. There are recipes and knitting patterns in the book. I do think that the author could make some things more up to date.

Thank you Netgalley for the early release of Knitty Gritty Murder by Peggy Ehrhart. Pamela and her Knit and Nibble Knitting group meet and discuss the murder of a fiend from the community gardens. She was strangled with a pair of circular knitting needles. Pamela's friend Bettina, asks questions tot try and figure out who strangled Jenny Miller. Its Pamela's daughter, Penny's, 21st birthday. They celebrate at Bettina's house. Then Janice, Bettina's mother, gets strangled. Pamela and Bettina wonder what is going on.
I like books that have knit and crochet patterns and with recipes of food in the story. I've read many of the stories by Peggy Ehrhart, so it was like meeting up with some old friends.

I read the first in this series and felt it was okay but a little out of date. After finishing Knitty Gritty Murder, I will be avoiding any more of this series. The title has no connection to the contents. Pamela has no connection to the murder victim, other than they were killed with a knitting needle. Most of the book is taken up with descriptions of décor, clothes and food, including long descriptions of how Pamela is cooking/baking things. The descriptions regarding knitting are basic. I was appalled that anyone would suggest giving a cat a ball of yarn to play with. This is dangerous to the cat if they eat the yarn. Also, the attitudes to towards men knitting are ten to twenty years behind times. Lots of men knit and some very highly regarded designers, etc in the knitting world. As for the use of a cable knitting needle as a garrote that seems improbable, was never explained as a choice of weapon and they have been around since the '70s and are not some strange, rare tool. I found this a frustrating read.

As I read each book in this series, I become more attached to these wonderful people. Pamela and Bettina make me laugh out loud and this book is my favorite so far.
Community gardens are for bringing people together, however, not in this case.
Naturally Pamela and Bettina begin asking questions, and when the begin putting the pieces together, they find a lot of secrets that were meant to be kept quiet.
I can’t wait to see what happens next for these wonderful characters.

Community gardens are all about fresh starts and growth. When a young woman is found murdered in the local community garden with circular knitting needles, the Knit and Nibble members are not suspects, but that doesn’t mean that Pamela and Bettina aren’t on the case.

As the Summer gardens bring forth their bounty, will Pamela and Bettina be around for the harvest or will they plowed under by the murderer.

This is a fun series that always delivers a solid whodunit along with a recipe and a knitting pattern. I personally do not knit, but still very much enjoy the series.

With every book I fall more In love with this series. In my opinion this is the best book yet! I thought the mystery was well written and thoroughly entertaining.
