![While My Pretty One Knits [A Black Sheep Knitting Mystery] - Picture 1 of 1](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/4ToAAOSw4V5f~92D/s-l500.jpg)
I hate to knock a mystery with a good eBay reference, and this book contains a great one: When our heroine's newly acquired dog (who formerly belonged to the murder victim) has to have a wadded ball of knitted yarn removed from her intestinal tract, our heroine is horrified by the vet's offer to let her take it home in a jar as a souvenir. "You don't want it?" asks the shocked vet. "Man, that's the first thing people ask me about. I don't know what they do with them, sell them on eBay?" LOL Unfortunately, the eBay reference is pretty much the most original writing in Anne Canadeo's by-rote whodunit. The characters are standard issue: the wise and revered yarn-shop owner, the hip college-student employee, the busy professional woman buddy who knits to relax, the supermom buddy who knits to help clothe her children. Even the murder victim — nasty owner of a rival yarn shop — is a cliché. The storyline moved along engagingly enough, despite its cardboard cast, but with one major flaw: I guessed who the murderer was as soon as I got to the eBay reference. Not to give anything away, but if you're paying attention, then you probably will too. If you're a hard-core cozy and/or knitting fan, then you'll probably enjoy "While My Pretty One Knits". It definitely qualifies as a mindless summer read. But if you've got a critical turn of mind, then consider yourself forewarned. Thank you for reading my review.
