Knit One, Kill Two by Maggie Sefton is the first of her series with Kelly Flynn. Kelly comes back to Colorado because her beloved aunt has been killed. The police think it was a vagrant, but there are questions that need to be answered. Why did her aunt take out a second mortgage for $20,000? Where is the money? And what happened to her aunt's precious family quilt that was hanging in the living room? It is no where to be found. And what about this woman who claims to be her aunt's cousin?
Kelly finds her aunt had more friends than she thought, thanks to the yarn and fiber shop across the street. Even though she is supposed to be here temporarily, Kelly finds support and help from these friends when she starts trying to clear things up. And she finds she is really liking the relaxed atmosphere of the area. Perhaps she will stay? On to the next book!
Sefton does a great job setting up a series by giving us a nice set of secondary characters and a heroine the reader can relate to. And the bits about falling in love with the feel and colors of the textiles and yarns, make us want to go yarn shopping. Even if we know nothing about knitting. Looking forward to reading some more. A good read.
