A Crime of a Different Stripe (Seaside Knitters Society #4)

by Sally Goldenbaum

This is the fourth book of the Seaside Knitters Society Book series and the story is about a mysterious murder that happened in a small-town community, Sea Harbor, Massachusetts.

It starts with a well-known famous photographer, Harrison Grant who was invited to give a speech at the opening reception. But everything turns upside down when one of the locals “Izzy” found Grant’s lifeless body on the steps to the house’s shore next door to where the main event had been held. The property owner has become the prime suspect, but Izzy and her fellow knitters aren’t sure and determined to find out the truth and revealed the true murderer.

This is my first reading from this author. The overall experience of reading this book is fun and felt like you are living in that cozy, cheer, and friendly neighborhood surrounded by supportive people.

I like the author’s writing style and how she builds the characters and the relationship between them. Also, you can find a bonus knitting pattern for a baby hat, at the end of the book.

But oh Boy, this is a slow-burning pace. I felt there much saying than actions with lots of descriptions. Also, there is a large number of characters, so make sure you read the list of characters at the beginning of the book.

That been said, if you are a mature thriller/Mystery book lover who seeks an actioned packed, nail-biting, edge of the seat story, this is not the right book for you.

I recommend this book to 'Newbie' readers of the thriller/mystery genre and to those who want a light read.

Thank you to Kensington Books and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this e-book in exchange for an honest review.
