The new mystery series that spins a yarn about knitters and murder in a seaside village.

Not long after Isabel "Izzy" Chambers opens up a knitting shop in the sleepy fishing town of Sea Harbor, Massachusetts, a diverse group of women begins congregating each week to form the Seaside Knitters.

Izzy raises some eyebrows when she rents the apartment above her shop to Angie Archer, whose reputation for loose behavior and a quick temper has made her unpopular with many locals. But could any of them have wanted her dead? Angie's body is discovered drowned in the harbor, her long red hair tangled like seaweed in a lobster trap.

An official investigation rules the death an accident. There are speculations of too many whiskey sours, a slippery wharf, a dark night... But Izzy and the Seaside Knitters smell something fishy. When several strange incidents occur above the shop, the women decide to take matters into their own hands. But before long, their small-town sense of security is frayed, and the threat of more violence hangs over this tightly knit community...

Where does Death by Cashmere rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I'm a knitter, and I meet with friends in our local yarn shop weekly, so I can really understand the relationship of the group!

I'm looking forward to listening to the complete series!

Fun series!

Sally Goldenbaum has crafted a great installment for the first in the Seaside Knitters series. The story moved along at a nice pace and the characters were well developed and enjoyable. Julie McKay gave a wonderful performance as she brought it all to life.

I enjoyed listening to this book. At first I had a bit of trouble keeping track of all the many characters. Looking forward to to the next book in this series.

This was a pretty good story. Looking forward to hearing the next book. Hope the rest of the series is just as good.

Good Story

Although the summary for this book makes it seem like a young Izzy is the main character and POV you'll follow, she's actually not. The "main" character you follow around the most is Nel, an older woman and friend of Izzy. I found this to be a little misleading, but Nel did 90% of the investigating & crime solving. Izzy, Birdy & Cass are also main cast, but less so. This book is a bit of an ensemble cast which hops around to different POV's. It gets a little confusing sometimes, but I'm hoping by book 2 things get a little more smooth.

A good start to a new cozy

I am completely hooked. I absolutely adored the story and could not wait to read all of the others in the series and to knit the projects. So wonderfully read and well written. I was completely surprised all the way up until the end.

Wonderful read!

I knew who did it long before the big reveal, but it is pleasant fluff for a quick summer read.

Predictable but pleasant fluff

I was looking for a book with a strong knitting theme. this does have a knit shop and a group of ladies who get together with their projects. I hear more about food, wine, and running. I never found a character to get vested in. has a good mystery . I want a book that I want to listen more than once and this isn't it.

it's ok but not for me
