Publisher's summary

Thank Goodness It's Fiber: That's the name of the spunky group of fiber and needlework artists founded by Ivy McClellan, Kath's beloved grandmother. Though Ivy has recently passed on, the members still meet regularly at her fiber and fabric shop, The Weaver's Cat, which Kath has now inherited. But that's only the first in a series of surprises when Kath returns to the small town of Blue Plum, Tennessee, to settle her grandmother's affairs.

There's been a murder, and it turns out her grandmother was the prime suspect. Before she can begin to clear Ivy's name, Kath encounters a looming presence in the form of a gloomy ghost. It turns out the specter has just as much interest in solving the murder as Kath. So, with a little help from the members of TGIF-and a stubborn spirit from beyond-she sets out to unravel the clues and hook the real killer....

Spooky funny!

Would you consider the audio edition of Last Wool and Testament to be better than the print version?

Very nice book to travel and listen to.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

So many twists and turns as well as dead bodies. Didn't see who the murderer was until the end.

What about Emily Durante’s performance did you like?

Changes in voices and great voice to keep you listening.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When the snakes were in the pantry.

Any additional comments?

Loved this book and couldn't wait to finish it.

Has everything: mystery, witch, ghost, and fiber

If you could sum up Last Wool and Testament in three words, what would they be?

A really bad day (well, several of them) leads to adventure and a new life.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

There were lts of believable surprises.

What about Emily Durante’s performance did you like?

She does the various characters well. You can tell who's talking.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed a few times and felt sad, but didn't cry.

Any additional comments?

You can go to the publisher's website and download the recipes and patterns that came with the book.

Surprisingly Wonderful

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audio book. A very light fair which is perfect to knit to. Particularly found the paranormal bits to be engaging. Well done.

Kept my attention

If you could sum up Last Wool and Testament in three words, what would they be?

It was a nice "read" and I enjoyed some of the twists and turns. It seemed to drag sometimes but then it would pick up again.

No obvious killer

I like that the story kept me guessing who killed Emmitt and Granny. I recommend Last Will and Testament.

So good, can't wait to listen to the next one!

Made me want to curl up with my knitting and my cat and a nice pot of tea. :) I think I'll have to get the next one for my Girlfriends Cozy Club discussion.

Great listening!!

Molly MacRae's cozy is unique and well-written with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. The characters are clearly individual, and Emily Durante's narration, no matter the age and gender of the character, is perfection. MacRae kept me guessing, and the villain was a total surprise. Well done! Will order the second in this series right now.
