There’s no place like home… until you stumble over a body in your yarn shop.

After spending twelve years in New York City, fiber influencer Sadie Sexton didn’t expect to find herself living back in her hometown of Hoochville, Tennessee. But when her grandmother bequeaths her beloved yarn shop to Sadie and her sister Charmayne with the stipulation that they must run it together for a year, Sadie and her dog Peaches find themselves back in the small Appalachian town.

Despite the somewhat contentious relationship with her older sister, Sadie is enjoying spending time with her childhood besties and Clementine Parker, her Grandma Mae’s best friend and the woman she thinks of as her second grandmother. But the enjoyment is cut short when she finds a body in the yarn shop and the prime suspect is none other than Clem herself.

Now Sadie is on a mission to clear Clem’s name. With her besties committed to helping in any way they can, she’ll stop at nothing to make sure Clem stays out of the slammer, even if it means cozying up to the town sheriff. Who just happens to be the same boy who broke her heart over a decade ago.

This is the first book in the series, it's a cozy mystery. It was easy to get through and the characters are well thought out. There is a strive level of undertone that is uncovered towards the end, but highlights an all too real situation. I look forward to see how the series develops.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of Alpaca and Alibis.

I loved this book. I didn’t read the title details before I listen to it so it would be a surprise and it was awesome. I loved the characters, though maybe not Sadi’s older sister Char, the setting and the story line. I know want to find and move there. The narrator did a fantastic job voicing everyone and keeping them all sounding unique. My biggest issue with the book is that I have to wait for the next one and can’t start listening today.

A great new series

The characters are engaging and eclectic. This was just how I would imagine a small town where everyone is in everyone's business like it or not. How long can Sadie hold off her ex?? I didn't guess the killer and that's half the fun. Char seem to be warming up to her sister , but she's a jealous cat. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest opinion. The narrator was good.

interesting

I purchased the 1st book of the series, then bought them all. The series brings me back to the 70's, the era I grew up in, and it's dead on! The sassy sarcasm, it perfectly read by Callie Beaulieu!

Love the writing, love the reader!

This was an enjoyable book. Hopefully there will be more in the series. I liked the setting and most of the characters.

Good narrator

I loved the story! The characters and plot twists were great! But the narrator was awful! It sounded like A.I. and was really hard to listen to because of the awkward cadence of the speech and spurts of extreme monotone. The story itself is what kept me going with it.

If it’s the same narrator for the next book, I don’t think I can listen it again, which is unfortunate.

The narrator almost ruined it for me!

I love when the MC has a background in the fiber arts before inheriting the shop. Most often there is no knowledge and they either aren't very good at it or do not enjoy it. Her group of girlfriends are fun and get into crazy situations. Even though her sister is kind of rude there is something likeable about her as well. Despite the antics there is a thread of seriousness in a side story that I appreciate. The cherry on top is the narration by Tiffany Morgan. I am a huge fan of hers, particularly because her southern accent doesn't sound overly fake or contrived. I hope the books in the series continue to have an audio copy. In the meantime I have ran through the other books in the series in KU. I would love to reread them as an audiobook!

Fiber and Fun!

So the story was entertaining, kept me in and wanting to listen. Knitting needles to the eye? Ouch!!!!

However the narrator sounded like it was AI generated- flat monotone and breaking for breathe in weird spots. Maybe it was the first book they narrated? The voices made to sound like the characters were done well and made me laugh - but the internal dialogue was just Bad.

Silly southern cozy mystery
