About this listen
Molly Stevenson rather expected her new job at Crabapple Yarns to be deadly boring...but somehow she just didn't expect the "deadly" part to be quite so literal. After all, what could possibly be more sweet and innocent than a yarn store and a bunch of ladies knitting?
As a librarian, by trade and by nature, Molly really ought to have known better. And, worse, she broke the first rule of librarianship - never, ever judge a book by its cover. Sadly, some of us have to learn the hard way. Perhaps that is why Molly didn't exist long as assistant librarian at Springgate Library.
The new job at Crabapple Yarns seemed like the only sensible thing to do at the time - until she could find something better of course. But, working at a yarn store really didn't fit into her life plan.
She never expected to become a knitter.Molly never expected her sweet little boss to be hiding the fact that she was receiving threats. She never expected to discover a Knitting Fairy. And, she most certainly never expected a Knitting Fairy to try to kill her.

Tessa Wakefield has her hands full juggling a cozy craft store, her crazy family, and two men who’d rather poke out their eyes than describe themselves as cute, which they totally are. Cute, charismatic, and occasionally on her mind when she’s not stumbling over dead bodies and using her newfound sleuthing skills to track down murderers. Lucky she’s an excellent multi-tasker...because digging beneath Cape Discovery’s surface can unearth secrets that kill.

Margaret, Rose, Jane, and Fran had a good thing going: meet every week in the dusty quiet of their peaceful chapel and knit prayer shawls. No muss, just ministry. That is, until their pastor boots them out of the church in his last-ditch effort to revive the dwindling congregation. Uptight Margaret isn’t having it. Knitting prayer shawls at the mall where people can watch is the most ridiculous idea she’s ever heard of, and she’s heard plenty.

Sweet story
Would you listen to The Knitting Fairy again? Why?
Yes, it is a nice book to knit to. There is a little mystery, a little danger, and lots of talk about knitting and knitters.

Not marketed correctly
Reading the tag line and description, I expected this to be a murder mystery about a fairy that owed a yarn store. It is not
Despite the main character being in her late 20s, this read more like a middle school drama/mystery. And there isn't really a whole lot to the mystery. The pacing is inconsistent. For most of the book it is unbearably slow and then in the next to last chapter EVERY THING get wrapped up in just a few pages. It's also oddly preachy in some ares. I don't mind Christian fiction, but I would like to know in advanced that's what I'm reading.
With better marketing I think this could be more popular with a younger crowd: say 4th-8th grade

Very Slow
This book wasn't what I expected. I thought I was getting a mystery but this just seems like chick lit. A woman adjusting to new changes in her life. I'm not interested. It was also slow and boring.

Nice Book.....Not the right Narrator
I would like to hear the 2nd book in the series, but not if its this narrator. Too robotic, as others have said. There could easily be some spots to give you a chuckle, but not with this reading. Just not the right narrator for this particular book. She may have other books that fit her style. Do yourself a favor, take time to eye-read this book.

Great writing, robotic narrator
I really enjoyed the wit and humor of this story. I just wish a human being had read it instead of this text to speech app pretending to be a narrator.
