Much as I like the sleuthing to firmly take center stage in a crime novel, a series soon becomes flat if that is all that happens in each book. Not so with this series, as each novel follows on from the one before in every respect and the various characters interact in more ways than just detecting and knitting. Another aspect is Colorado itself, which is shown in its full scenic glory, and there is plenty of humor amid the suspense. These combined elements are juggled admirably well to keep the plot rolling happily along, and this time the case itself was a bit more tortuous and kept me on my sleuthing toes. There is a recipe to enjoy and a shawl to knit as well as the mysteries of finding out what "yo" in a knitting pattern truly means. All-round cozy fun in one of my favorite new series.
