Publisher Description
Pamela Paterson and Bettina Fraser call their crafting group Knit and Nibble, in honor of its two main activities. But on a stormy Halloween night, their peaceful chat over spiced cider and cookies is interrupted by homicide . . .
With the houses of Arborville, New Jersey, decked out in festively frightening decorations, it’s easy to mistake a real dead body for a fake. But Pamela and Bettina are alerted by the screams of teenage trick-or-treaters to the corpse next door. Their neighbor Adrienne’s sister, visiting from New York City, is slumped on the porch, fatally stabbed. And with countless people traipsing around in costume, the killer might be as elusive as an apple in a bucket of water.
The victim was a charismatic college professor and fierce feminist, and soon the women are infiltrating her social and academic circles to collect clues. But some scandalous local gossip also suggests that Adrienne, not her sister, might have been the target. Now, Pamela and Bettina will need all their creative skills to solve this ghoulish crime . . .
Customer Reviews
Witchines and my mother’s wife unnecessary!
Witch-crafting and playing up partners took away from the story line and especially the romantic aspect. I have read all of the books and enjoyed them completely. Although it’s October, the editors don’t necessarily need to include the background of Satanic worshipers. The partnership could have been established if needed and left at that. I enjoy the murder aspect, the close relationships, and how they relate to each other individually and as a whole group. I especially enjoy the development of the personalities. These are very interesting qualities of each book. I usually give the books a five not a three! You be the judge.
What I like, What I Can’t stand
These stories as a rule are very well written and give my brain a good workout on who is the killer and why. But the one thing that totally almost ruins everything in the story is this……The Wedding China. It has almost made me put the down and walk away. My husband and I have a drinking game about it (tea not alcohol).
We know it’s Wedding China, after the first time it’s referred to as The Wedding China, can it be called The China, her favorite China, the good China, the good plates, The Special China….just a different Phrase, please stop using The Wedding China or I will, at least stop reading.
