Synopsis

In a new Yarn Retreat Mystery from national bestselling author Betty Hechtman, it's knit one, kill two when Casey Feldstein hosts a murder mystery weekend that turns into the real thing . . .

At the urging of Vista Del Mar's owner, Casey Feldstein takes on the job of combining a murder mystery game with her next weekend yarn retreat. Enlisting the help of the hotel's staff to play the roles of victim and suspects, she lays out a plot and plants some red herrings. And as her intrigued guests watch the murder play out and the clues unfold, Casey is certain she's pulled off the perfect make-believe murder—until a real murder intrudes and everyone at the hotel is named as a suspect.

As her retreat guests turn away from the fake murder to solve the real one, Casey has her hands full trying to keep them from meddling in police business. But even as they're dead set on unraveling the mystery in their midst, Casey has her eye on a few of them, some of whom don't seem to be who or what they claim. With time ticking down on her weekend and her guests more interested in nabbing a killer than knitting, Casey will have to stitch together her own solution before the killer can stop her and declare game over . . .

Chaos ensues when Casey’s yarn retreat evolves into a yarn & mystery murder retreat. But of course, just while the participants are solving the fake murder, a real murder occurs.

I'm a big fan of Betty Hechtman and her other cozy mystery series, however, I was unimpressed with Knot a Game.
