The quirky Knit and Nibble gang lands another case and are off running to solve in this fun and entertaining addition to a great series. About the only thing to complain about is sometimes they can be too quick!

I love this series and each book gets better and adds a bit to the series. In this one, Pamela investigators the murder of a professor that no one really liked. He drank the same coffee everyone else did at one of Pamela’s knitting events, but he’s the only one who died from that coffee. Pamela discovers plenty of suspects, so she has her work cut out for her.

I enjoyed reading about Pamela's antics with her neighbors Bettina and Wilfred and I love their friendship. The whodunit and learning about all the suspects, from the ex, to disgruntled students to jilted lovers, we’re kept guessing the whole time. This isn’t a fast paced series, there’s lots of descriptions of everyday activities and items, but it didn’t bog down the story at all.

I’m looking forward to the next book in the Knit and Nibble series!

When a professor, after eating cookies and coffee at a conference for fiber arts and crafts at the college, falls dead. Pamela, Bettina and the Knot and Nibble ladies are stumped. Everyone had eaten cookies and coffee. So how did he get poisoned? Lots of twists and turns in this 8th book in the series. Lots of fun! Thanks #netgalley and #Keningston for the eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine.

Another excellent book in the series! I believe they get better with each installment. I just love the author's writing style, its so poetic - it flows so beautifully. The characters are lovely and you really get a sense of knowing them. The author is very descriptive, and I find reading the small details of her everyday life comforting. The mystery is always good and realistic enough (even though the main character is solving a murder so often, lol). There aren't holes/errors in the story. Many cozy mystery authors put out so many books throughout one year, I find so many errors in their stories, which is very distracting. This author/publisher clearly spends a lot of time error checking the story, or else the author is just very good at this detail automatically. I highly recommend this series/book, it is one of my favorites (if not favorite) of all the cozy series' I read (and I read a lot of them).

Thank you NetGalley and Kensington for this wonderful ARC and in return I am submitting my unbiased and voluntary review and opinion. I will post this review to my blog, Goodreads, Bookbub, & Amazon accounts on the publication date, 2/22/22.

We are largely in the mind of main character Pamela Paterson when the story opens, seeing things as they happen through her eyes. Pamela is an editor of a fiber crafts magazine and has helped organize a knitting bee as a part of a conference on fiber crafts and arts at the local college. When an invited but not particularly well-liked speaker attends the bee and after drinking the same coffee everyone else was drinking suddenly takes ill and dies, Pamela finds herself feeling it is somehow her fault. She is fearful of losing her job. It turns out her concerns are baseless but her initial sense of being overwhelmed slowly evaporate. She slowly returns to normal and helped along by her best friend and neighbor, who just happens to be a reporter, begins to investigate and gather clues. Unlike most cozy mysteries where there is a constant law enforcement presence, the detective in charge is largely kept to the shadows in this episode, I might note.

There are a number of suspects as the victim was not only not particularly well liked but a womanizer. Toss in more than a few red herrings and twists in relationships between possible suspects. Pamela is likeable and given her shock at the death, a very sympathetic amateur sleuth. I honestly believe I've read some early books in this series but simply didn't pursue it further given that I have so little interest in knitting. Knitting is definitely a part of this plot but mostly in the sense that it brings together both the victims and Pamela's circle of friends. I did get a chuckle out of the curiosity of the Knit and Nibble group as they tried to decide what one member was knitting during their gatherings. He wasn't telling and it was a cute reveal near the end. Cats and dogs are also very much a part of this story and, in fact, oh...... never mind. I'm not telling. You're just going to have to read the book to find out what role some beloved furry friends play in the story.

Thank you #NetGalley and #KensingtonBooks for the ARC.

This is book 8 in the Knit 'n Nibble series, but readers will have no trouble picking up the story without reading the previous books.

A body turns up rather early when the victim, a local professor, takes ill and dies after drinking coffee at a gathering of knitters. The man was not well-liked, and plenty of suspects are under investigation, including his ex-wife whose research he stole for his book. Add in jilted lovers and some of his students.

At times the plot moved slowly due to excessive description of everything from meals to clothing, but readers who enjoy a lot of detail probably won't mind.

A simple knitting pattern and recipe are included.

Thank you to Kensington and Net Gallery for providing an ARC of this book.

Death of a Knit Wit by Peggy Ehrhart is a feel good read for me because I have read all the books in this series. At crazy times like this with the pandemic going on, it’s nice to know what to expect in a book even though there are two murders in this novel. There are familiar characters, good food and knitting 🧶. Pamela’s everyday routines and her great neighbours Bettina and Wilfred and the antics and adventures they get up to in each book, keep my anxiety at bay. Thank you Peggy for a wonderful read, but I sure hope that Pamela finds love again in her life with her Neighbour Richard who I secretly thinks she has feelings for.❤️🤗🥰🇨🇦

I enjoyed this book. I did feel it was a little slow. I liked the characters. The mystery is interesting, & I was definitely surprised by who the killer is. #DeathofaKnitWit #NetGalley

This is such a fun series, and I had a great time with this cozy mystery. I loved the plot, the twists and turns, and the characters!

I received an advance copy via NetGalley.

In this 8th book in the series, knitting enthusiast Pamela investigates the murder-by-poison of a local professor whose death no one seems to mourn. The suspects stack up, from the ex-wife whose research he stole for a book to his myriad of disgruntled lovers to students left devastated by his callus disregard.

This is a cozy book in the mode of a TV show. There's an ambling pace, and at times it feels like taking a walking tour around this small New Jersey town with many great restaurants, a farmer's market, and a college. For my personal taste, it was a bit too slow and exhaustive in its descriptions of mundane daily details, but I can also see this acting as a totally immersive escape for some readers. As it was, I absolutely had to finish the book and find out whodunit, so it had me hooked nevertheless! I had not read previous books, but I didn't have any issues getting into the story for that reason. There is a light romantic subplot--there are some dates--but the emphasis of the book is on the female lead and her female friendships, including a close neighbor whose pushiness and lack of tact irritated me at times (seriously, I'd invest in good locks if she lived near me).

I would also like to note that I adore the cover of this book and I was very happy that the cats were regularly mentioned throughout the story, too. I'm not into fiber crafts, but those who are would really appreciate the details on that, including a project at the back of the book.

What not to like?
Love this series, with a knitting group always in the center of a murder mystery.
It is refreshing to see a wholesome friendship, neighborly activities and amazing pets.
Definitely recommend it to wind down and relax, perfect for a weekend read.

I've really enjoyed this series, and each book just gets better.
Pamela is a craft and fiber lover, with knitting being her specialty.
It seems that Pam and her knitting neighbor Bettina always find themselves mixed up in a murder investigation, and in Death of A Knit Wit, the stakes are high, when someone is poisoned and the suspect list is long.
I'm looking forward to reading more in this great series.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of this book.

This ARC was provided to me via Kindle by Kensington Books and #NetGalley for my honest opinion. Opinions expressed are completely my own.

Another wonderful addition to the already fun, well-established cozy mystery series. It was a quick read I found well worth it.

Am I the only one who finds the endlessly repeated references to *wedding china* annoying? Is that a New Jersey thing? It clangs oddly to my Wisconsin ears. Which is diametrically opposed to how I feel about the story and the fiber/knitting/colorways/characters/sleuthing as a whole. The food references were delicious, the red herrings sneaky, the suspects multiplying, and the plot just a mite twisty. Basically, I loved it.
I requested and received a free ebook from Kensington Books (soon to incorporate Kensington Cozies) via NetGalley. Thank you!

A wonderful addition to this fun series that features knitting , close friendships and sleuthing. Thank you to the publisher and to Net Galley . My review opinion is my own.

This is Knit And Knibble mystery book eight in the series. This is a delightful series I enjoy returning to with each new book. The charcters are wonderful , the friendships are warm and heartfelt and the knitting the author features is fun to learn about. This next in series features a knitting gathering where a murder occurs. The sleuthing knitters are on the case and even the red herrings won't deter their sleuthing skills. A fun read to conclusion. I highly recommend this series.

The Knit and Nibble gang are on the case after a professor crashes an event and drops dead after drinking some coffee. The same coffee that everyone else drank and had no problems with. With the gang on the case, They’ve got to bring the clues all together and hope they don’t drop one along the way to solve the murder…or everything will unravel.

Another great entry in this series and I cannot wait for more. Peggy Ehrhart always knits together a solid whodunit with red herrings and lots of suspects. You won’t be disappointed with any of the books in this series and they read fine as stand alone entries

Thank you #Netgalley for the advance reader copy of Death of a Knit Wit by Peggy Ehrhart in exchange for an honest review. Pamela Paterson and members of the Knit and Nibble Knitting group are participating in a weekend conference on fiber arts and crafts. Pamela is an associate editor of Fiber Craft Magazine. She organized a knitting bee for the women attending. An arrogant professor visits the knitting bee and gets a cup of coffee the urn that all the ladies are drinking from. He drinks some and collapses. No one else becomes I'll. Then the professor dies.
Peggy Ehrhart is such a fantastic writer. She keeps me guessing to the end of who the murderer is. I've read all her books and enjoyed them all. I was also excited for the recipes and patterns.

Who did it? Who had the poison? Who killed the professor? This book was sent to me by Netgalley electronically for review. It is a cozy mystery...a quick read...fun...guessing who the murderer was. The group of characters are quirky and likable...one wonders what they will do next. I liked this book...Perfect for vacation or during the holidays...or just for an enjoyable afternoon cuddled under an afghan, fireplace ablaze...hot tea and a scone...I hope this talented author writes more about these characters.
