About the Book
"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..."--Book Synopsis

A Dark and Stormy Knit by Peggy Ehrhart is the eleventh A Knit & Nibble Mystery. It can easily be read as a standalone. It has been a little while since I read A Knit & Nibble Mystery. I found the book to be easy to read. I like the neighborhood where Pamela lives. It is a cozy community where Pamela has good friends. Pamela and Bettina meet for coffee every day. How Pamela makes coffee is described in detail each time. Pamela whips up delectable, sweet treats and meals as well. We follow Pamela as she goes through making each item step by step. Pamela works remotely for a fiber arts magazine. She reads prospective articles to see if they would suit the magazine and edits others. Each article is recounted, and I found one to be particularly enlightening. A neighbor’s sister is murdered on Halloween night, and, naturally, Pamela along with the other Knit and Nibble members join in the investigation. The mystery was not at the forefront of the story. Pamela asks questions amidst working, making coffee, knitting, and whipping up tasty treats. The “Fish Bicycle” group was an unusual addition. Those readers who like the cozy over the mystery will enjoy A Dark and Stormy Knit.
