UNRAVELED

In this installment of Sefton’s knitting mysteries, Kelly Flynn and her group of knitting friends become involved in solving the murder of real estate mogul Fred Turner—a man despised by every person who knew him. Narrator Jane Jacobs, with her pleasant voice and expressive intonation, seems to have to work a bit too hard to keep the story moving as it gets hung up on minute details. Conversations between characters sound forced as they’re interrupted by the actions of eating cake, sipping coffee, and drinking “Fat Tire Ale.” Fans of the series may feel like they’re meeting old friends, while newcomers may feel like they’ve walked into a private knitting circle.
