A delightful cozy

Ariadne ¿Ari¿ Evans, the owner of Adriane¿s Web, is a vendor in the Freeport Yarn and Wool Festival a small event in Massachusetts. Thus she is stunned to see Felicia Barr, owner-editor of the prestigious Knit It Up! Magazine, accompanied by her assistant Debbie Petrino attend this minor show. Also there is Beth Morley, Felicia¿s former assistant who she fired. The two women have a very public argument with threats from both sides and plenty of witnesses.------------- Although Ari is unafraid of Felicia, most of the vendors fear her because she has the power to destroy their careers one of them resents her as she blames her for not obtaining a position she coveted due to Felicia¿s criticism of her designs. When Ari goes for coffee, she finds an even more powerful jolt when she finds a dying Felicia stabbed with a knitting needle. Ari realizes instantly that there are a myriad of suspects with strong motives including the latest heir apparent Debbie. A police detective asks Ari, who has a reputation for solving crimes, to help investigate the homicide as she has a rapport with most of the attendees and knows which questions to ask.---------------- Mary Kruger¿s exciting second mystery flows smoothly one stitch at a time making it easy for the audience to follow the whodunit investigation. The tale is told by Ari for the most part although others heavily involved in the case give their first person viewpoint too this enables readers to understand motives as a frustrated crowd of vendors feel fear as they are crushed under the thumb of a power yielder and after her death there are feelings of relief. Thus like Ari the reader has plenty of suspects to choose from. Although why the police would request a civilian amateur sleuth to help them beyond advice on knitting seems a stretch, KNIT FAST, DIE YOUNG is a fine and delightful cozy that will appeal to the audience who prefer no blood and no gore.-------------- Harriet Klausner

another good mystery revolving around knitting.

I hope there will be more books by this author with mystery and knitting.

Knitting and Murder

For a knitaholic this is great fun! What better than a murder mystery set at a Wool and Yarn Festival! Mary Kruger does a great job of describing the scene and the characters. And what twists there are! So put down your knitting for just a bit and enjoy this book! I enjoyed it so much I had to get her book "Died in the Wool." Can't wait to read it!
