Synopsis

When a professor is poisoned, Pamela Paterson and the members of the Knit and Nibble knitting club must take a crash course in solving his mysterious murder.

Pamela has organized a weekend-long knitting bee as part of a conference on fiber arts and crafts at Wendelstaff College. But when pompous Professor Robert Greer-Gordon Critter, the keynote speaker at the conference, crashes the bee, he seems more interested in flirting than knitting. The man's reputation as a philanderer supersedes his academic reputation. After coffee and cookies are served, the professor suddenly collapses, seemingly poisoned—but how? Everyone had the coffee and cookies. Joined by her bestie Bettina and the Knit and Nibble ladies, Pamela sorts through everything from red socks to red herrings to unravel the means and motives of a killer dead set on teaching the professor a lesson . . .

An obnoxious professor comes to the week long knitting bee, organized by our protagonist. Somehow, he's been poisoned, even though everyone drank coffee from the same source. The protagonist pokes around, goes on a date in The City, and eventually solves the mystery. The protagonist seems rather britt......more

Goodreads review by Susan on June 12, 2022

I've read earlier books in this series, but found this one repetitious and slow. Every time the heroine has a cup of coffee at home (and she drinks a lot of coffee) the author has to mention that she uses her wedding china; every time her neighbor and sidekick arrives, the author describes her cloth......more
