Knitted and Knifed: A Humorous & Heartwarming Cozy Mystery (A Knitty Kitties Mystery)
Cozy Mystery
1st in Series
Publisher: Independently published (January 5, 2021)
Paperback: 224 pages

A smart woman would dump her cheating ex, move from the city, and give herself a chance for a well-deserved do-over. A smarter woman—smarter than me, anyway—wouldn’t jump out of that same frying pan and return to Cape Discovery, a seaside village where her family is the nuttiest of all the nut-ball residents.

I’m a former high school counselor, middle-child peacemaker, and current curator of lots of squishy/fuzzy goodness at my granddad’s little yarn store. Temporary assistant. Until I decide what to do with the rest my life. There’s only one knotty problem to untangle first. The knife sticking out of the most unpopular man in town, and the police detective trying to pin the murder on the donkey—otherwise known as my younger brother.

With a pair mischievous cats determined to be underfoot and a craft group of Serial Knitters and Happy Hookers wanting the inside scoop, a girl could lose her mind. And if the killer has their way, maybe even my life…

Tessa Wakefield has her hands full juggling a cozy craft store, her crazy family, and two men who’d rather poke out their eyes than describe themselves as cute. Which they totally are. Cute, charismatic, and occasionally on her mind when she’s not stumbling over dead bodies and using her newfound sleuthing skills to track down murderers. Lucky she’s an excellent multi-tasker because digging beneath Cape Discovery’s surface can unearth secrets that kill.

My review of Knitted and Knifed

If you’re in the mood for a laugh and some crime solving, grab a copy of Knitted and Knifed by Tracey Drew! I am a cat lover; so, of course, I had to find out if the Knitty Kitties series was one I’d enjoy. Thank goodness I gave it a go because I enjoyed it tremendously.

Small towns are my favorite settings for cozy mystery books because pretty much everyone is in everyone else’s business. Cape Discovery is no different. It has its fair share of quirky characters, nosy neighbors, with a couple of cute, potential romance characters thrown in for good measure. I love Tessa for many reasons. She’s still trying to find out what she wants to be when she grows up….yes, she’s 30 something…and aren’t we all? Tessa has a caring spirit and it shows in how she interacts with her grandpa, the cats, and most of the characters in Knitted and Knifed. The characters in this book are so much fun, and I’m excited to read about them again!

Like I mentioned, the small town setting is perfect as is the micro setting, the yarn store. Even though I’m not a crafter, I think I’d attend the craft group just for the cats, gossip, and refreshments. Maybe I’d learn a thing or two about knitting too. This all gives the book that super cozy feel that I love.

Of course, the mystery is also highly entertaining, and Tessa’s potential romantic interests add to the entertainment value of Knitted and Knifed! I really think all of you cozy mystery lovers should give it a read!
