Angora Alibi: A Seaside Knitters Mystery

I have read many of the Seaside Knitters Mysteries and always enjoy them.  Angora Alibi by Sally Goldenbaum is no exception. This is Goldenbaum's seventh Seaside Knitters Mystery.

 I enjoy the characters who almost seem like friends. They live near the shore but also have lives that are busy with meetings, family and friends.  Sometimes they have problems that must be thought out and solved.  As a knitter I understand how the act of knitting can bind us together and allow us to settle and focus. The main characters Izzy, her Aunt Nell and Uncle Ben and friends Cas and Birdie are all giving, caring people who make any community thrive.  Luckily I have never had to use knitting and my special group of friends to help me solve a murder.

Izzy and Sam were married in an earlier book, The Wedding Shawl, and are now expecting a baby.  Amid the joy and the visits to the local doctor Izzy meets a kind but misguided young man who is related to the assistant at the clinic.  When he is found dead Izzy and her friends know they must restore peace to their town before the baby arrives. 

This series is progressive as the characters change and grow throughout the series but you can certainly read them out of order.  I can be obsessive about things like that--but YOU can!  What better to read than a nice mystery set along the sea this summer?
