When murder silences the Christmas cheer in charming Arborville, New Jersey, Pamela and her Knit and Nibble pals must unravel the most bone-chilling mystery this side of the North Pole....

Pamela has been in merry spirits since her artsy daughter Penny returned home from college for the holidays. But their mother-daughter bonding time gets cut short when a terrified Penny stumbles upon the dumped body of Millicent Farthingale, a wealthy craft shop owner who was popular for all the wrong reasons.

From a scheming business partner to a seedy husband several years her junior, Millicent attracted scammers so in love with her assets, they'd toss her down a chimney to get their paws on them. Now, with only a hand-knit red scarf connecting the killer to the crime, Pamela and the Knit and Nibblers could use some extra creativity as they find out who's really naughty or nice in Arborville - because going up against a looming culprit is DIY or die!

I too will add to the rest of the reviews. A bit drawn out, there’s hours of details on the characters but got lost in the mystery. There was a point in the book where I was thinking, what’s happening to the topic of the story? Then finally the plot was revealed. I got a bit bored. Finally it came to a conclusion.
Overall it was a easy listening experience. With a lot of patience you will enjoy the book. I’m going to download the next of the series.

Enjoyable listen.

I agree with the other reviewers who found the fourth in the series not nearly as appealing as the first three. Pamela is glad to have her daughter, Penny home for the holidays. But things go off the tracks when Penny discovers a dead body. Some of the story has a repeating theme: Pamela is afraid to let Penny make decisions for herself, even though she's now in college. But it turns out that Penny is a very capable young woman. Good resolution to the murder. And I will try more of the series, since, until now they have been a favorite.

Book #4 Good, but Not AS Good as Others

The story was ok but I had a problem with the pauses the reader kept putting in. Very annoying. I would not recommend this as an audio book but it would be ok if I picked up an actual book and read it myself.

Slow going

Where is the knit part of the knit and nibble???
There were so many useless descriptions of clothing, and food, and pouring coffee, and wedding china, and not having enough jade cups. Between that and weirdly specific descriptions of clothing types and colors that was 90% of the book.
I am quite disappointed to have wasted a credit. I have read the previous books and none were as bad as this so Ill discontinue the series at this point.

Very disappointing

So sorry Maggie but a terrible reading and a silly story not sure why I stayed to the end. Time waste..

No.

The author ad nauseam spent the bulk of this series going into the most painful meticulous description of everything but knitting from every step of brewing coffee EVERY TIME it was served to peeling eggs baking cakes and vintage dinnerware and how and what people are wearing in detail
VERY little time is spent focusing on knitting yarn or the craft
The narrator should retire
She makes the characters seem overly hysterical immature and dim witted
Sadly I will not finish the series
I’m not sure I could handle making toast coffee or the best friends attire

I really tried with this series. Even after the reviews that indicated there was too much "food an clothes" to be really interesting. The problem is the main character is an idiot. She has no real personality, and is ordered around by her more assertive neighbour. It is a stereotype that a woman with time on her hands becomes a nosey parker and buts into everyone's business. Well, here it is with knitting! ( and of course cats, because this variation on "childless cat lady would not be complete withot them)
The books are too slow and filled with busy body stuff that makes me cringe. It is the worst of all the awful trops about women of a certain age. I can't understand why authors can't write an interesting female character that does not fall back on the same old things.
The series is okay for a type of reader that sees themselves in the characters, but I could not find anyone like myself, nor did I want to. Just not for me.
The narrator is okay, just not good with male voices. The men sound like women with a little more gravel. Not terrible andprobably alright for the material.

FMC is an Idiot

The Knit and Nibble books have been a nice escape from the daily drudgery, as well as an inspiration to knit all-the-things when I can steal a few minutes here and there. Imagine the disappointment of reading this book and discovering that 92% of it is about the food people are eating, making, gifting for Christmas. The mystery is barely there; you have to listen closely or you'll miss the knitting altogether.

Added to these sad tidings, the performance of the reader becomes downright annoying. Her lilt at the ends of sentences becomes so pronounced at some points that I wondered if she was asking me questions rather than telling me a story. All of the character voices were the same -- using the same hesitating, choppy dialogue with the familiar questioning lilt. The narrator turned interesting, caring, and intelligent characters into stereotypes -- such a travesty.

I'm sad to see this happen to such a promising series, but I can't recommend this book, especially to those who have loved the first few in the series, as I have.

What happened to this series?

I just want to parrot what others have said. There were many moments in the book that were overly detailed and didn't progress the plot in any way. It was a struggle to get through. I'll listen to the next but if it's similar I'll probably stop investing in the series.

I didn't have an issue with the performance.
