Secure Unraveled (A Knitting Mystery, #9) Conceived By Maggie Sefton Accessible As Mobi

Flynn and her friend Jennifer find another dead body, The obvious clues lead to the wife due to the bitter divorce and to the businessman trying to buy the property.
The situation is deeper than surface though, The gun used to kill Fred Turner seems like a big clue to Kelly,
There are lots of personal interactions and history to catch onto in this mystery, Its enjoyable and takes some interesting twists and turns to the final solution,
I really enjoyed the story, It kept me guessing every page that I read, I love a mystery, especially when the the detective is not a professional, Amateur sleuths have a more personal interest in solving a crime, which gets them into trouble but also helps them go where the professionals cannot.
This book reminds me of how I would write a mystery novel if someone made me, Its like a novel before editing and an author without any writing practice, The writing was strikingly juvenile and so was the plot, Also why was there so much discussion over what she ate And the discrepancy between what she wanted to eat and what she felt she could It was weird.
Ive enjoyed this series until now, but this book was s real letdown, Constant references to Kelly having a smartphone, lots of pages/chapters spent on Kelly working in Denver, playing volleyball, her relationship with Steve.
I know we need background, but the mystery element of this book probably only took up two chapters.
But Ill still read the next book in the series! I am really enjoying the series as I like the characters.
I am also happy that the author has stopped revealing the killer in past That is disappointing when you can't read them in order.
Not every mystery should be a Columbo episode! All her books make we want to knit, drink coffee and eat at the local knitting/cafe.
A client of Jennifer's is murdered, and this time, Kelly didn't even have to meet the guy and he was doomed.
It's all right everyone hated him anyhow, The murderer is obvious from the beginning, Most of the book is spent following Kelly around to her work and making it clear that she's the best thing since sliced bread and Steve is kicking himself for leaving her.
Steve shouldn't be kicking himself for leaving her, He can do better. He should do better. He probably won't do better, The other twodimensional people are insistent that they're made for each other, But only in this weird, nonexistent world with the ridiculously high murder rate do people who are made for each other get back together after one of them moves out and there's a failed marriage proposal.
And I was wrong that there ought to be sex in these, A few times, they're referred to as having been lovers, and it's maximally icky, I don't believe for a second that they ever achieved sufficient closeness for sex if they could have such a catastrophic failure to communicate as what broke them up.


Sefton needs an editor, If I never see the words "click," "tab," "soft," or "ohhhhhh, yeah" again, it'll be too soon, People are constantly clicking in and out or on and off of things, and they need to stop it this instant.
The Kindle and print editions are all rife with typographical errors, also, You'd think a big press like that could manage to hire someone who didn't flunk high school English.
I hate it when I let too much time go by between reading books in a series, I spent most of the first part of this book trying to remember if I knew that Kelly and Steve had split.
Arggg.

The murder mystery was a good read, even though the identity of the killer was super easy to guess.
Never having read an of Maggie Seftons previous books in this series I was very nearly overwhelmed by the sheer number of secondary characters making an appearance right from page one of UNRAVELED.
The author did try to make the daunting task of keeping everyone straight by including a cast of characters listing in the front of the book.
Believe me, I did make good use of this list and in the early stages of reading found

myself flipping back and forth as I familiarized myself with the relationships between the characters.


Murder, knitting and romance are the order of the day in Fort Conner, CO and CPA and part time sleuth Kelly Flynn is at the center of all the action.
There are several surprises in store for the reader as the story, which admittedly starts slowly, progresses to its startling climax.
Kellys romance with her ex, Steve, is on the back burner for several reasons not the least of which is the fact that he has moved to Denver and she is still residing in Fort Conner making their romance GU geographically undesirable at best.


Worth mentioning are a few things that elevated this story beyond the “chic lit/cozy” level.
First, the exchanges between Kelly and her ex Steve at a volleyball game as they physically and verbally spar and we see that volleyball isnt the only “game” theyre playing.
Second is the definite talent for descriptive writing displayed by Ms, Sefton that is most obviously on display in her vivid depictions of the rugged beauty of the Colorado landscape as well as pithy lines like “high drooping arcs had a greedy Megan under them like a crocodile waiting with open jaws for a wounded bird to drop inside”.
Then there is the eclectic group of individuals who comprise the House of Lambspun knitters, My interest in this unique establishment and the knitters who patronize it was sufficiently piqued that I found myself going to my computer to investigate and lo and behold I actually found the LAMBSPUN yarn shop in Fort COLLINS, CO.


It is only on rare occasions that I drag out the knitting needles to whip up a small gift but I am a baker and a dedicated consumer of chocolate in all its forms so the recipe for chocolate cake at the end of the book was most appreciated.
For those of you who are zealous knitters, the back of the book also contains a pattern for a summer tee.
So you see this book is a triple threat, It is amusing, has a pretty good murder mystery with a surprising reveal, and includes recipe for a tasty chocolate cake and a pattern that has the potential to increase your wardrobe.

This was the ninth book of a fun cozy mystery series, I found it to be well written for its genre with well developed characters, I love the "family" that the protagonist has found because of the Lambspun fiber shop with classes and needed items for spinning, knitting, crocheting, felting, and weaving.
And I love the protagonist Kelly and her CPA brain that loves to puzzle out numbers and murders.
I am such a huge fan of this series, First of all, I want to say that I really like this series, but now I'm having second thoughts about reading anymore of them.
This book was just annoying from the beginning, First, the constant reference to Kelly's smartphone was annoying, I don't care that she has a smart phone, uses a smart phone and tosses her smartphone on the passenger seat of her car.
Second, the mystery was second to Kelly's love life, which is also ok, but don't wrap the entire mystery up in two quick chapters with a ribbon and think that it is all good.
I figured out the murderer right away, and then had to wade away all the other stuff to see why it happened.
Then, my biggest annoyance was Kelly herself, She came across as as overbearing person especially when it comes to sports, The whole volleyball scene almost made me throw the book across the room, who acts that way on the court and still has everyone laughing and cheering behind her I thought she was rather witchy, actually REALLY witchy.
I have other annoyances but just say that I did not like the book and that is good enough.
