Another fun romp through the bright shelves of Lambspun Yarn in Fort Connor, Colorado with Kelly and her found family. Two years have passed since the first two books concluded, and Kelly is now happily ensconced with her boyfriend, Steve, her canine companion Carl, and all the staff and customers of Lambspun.

This book opens quite quickly with her friend, Jennifer, calling about being attacked. Jennifer finds help to deal with the aftermath, and Kelly, Jennifer, and Lisa with the shop are all invited to join a knitting and therapy retreat with Jennifer's therapist. The lovely, secluded mountain ranch has many amenities to offer this group of survivors who really open up when the yarns, hooks, and needles make their appearance.

Sefton deals well with the effects of violence, both the physical and the emotional trauma, and her characters show the myriad ways in which healing occurs. Or not, as we find out later in the book. And of course, Kelly wants to rescue her friend and of course, things take an interesting turn (twist?) at the ranch.

A quick Saturday read and looking forward to continuing this series. ( )

I was wrong on the who dunnit! ( )

The subject matter of Maggie Sefton's knitting mystery series gets deeper with each new book. This one dealt with the matter of the healing process from sexual assault. There is of course the requisite murder but this time the assaulter appears to have been assaulted. The characters introduced in previous series books increase in depth and make one yearn for the next book of the series. ( )

Another great book in the knitting mystery series. This book is a little deeper than those proceeding it due to the material, but I think the author handled it in a way that was both respectful to the situation, and beneficial to the overall plot and character development. This series has gotten better and better since the first book, and I hope that the author continues to add to the Lambspun saga. ( )

I loved this book! The characters were very likable and the plot moved swiftly. I enjoyed the way the main characters worked everything out by sitting together in a knit shop knitting. I enjoyed the interaction of the main characters and how they were there for each other to help them through difficult times. I felt such compassion for Jennifer who felt she had to find male gradification in bars which led up to her rape. I liked the way the women at the retreat got each other talking over knitting the crocheting. How relaxing is that!!! The death of the rapist at the retreat I expected and I enjoyed the way the author gave such clues as to who done it. I plan on reading more by this author and have recommended it in my knitting group. ( )
