I have enjoyed all of the Seaside Knitters' mysteries. Although, in one review that I read, a person said that there were too many characters to keep track of. Once you have read the initial book, however, and know who these reoccuring characters are it is much simpler to read all the books that follow.Gracie Santos, was raised by her aunt and uncle because her flighty mother roamed in and out of her life, was frequently drunk and couldn't provide the stability that a child needed. Gracie has decided to open the Lazy Lobster and Soup Cafe on Pelican Pier and the Seaside knitters have been helping her.At the same time, Gracie's uncle, who owns Santos Construction and a rival construction company run by the Delaney family are working together to build a youth center in a local park. Both companies are honored at a dinner at the yacht club. Later, while many are still enjoying the dinner, Gracie's aunt Sophia leaves early and on her own. Her car goes careening out of control and plunges off a cliff. What was thought to be a tragic accident at first, turns out to be murder. Sophia was a black and white type of personality and deeply religious. She was stern and had few friends and unfortunately there are way to many people in this small community with a possible motive for killing her. Once again, the Seaside Knitters begin to stitch together the clues uncovering dark secrets and putting themselves in jeopardy as they do so. A light, fun, mystery Another strong entry in this series. One of the things I like most is the care and concern of long married characters for each other. We aren't all 20 and model thin or 30 and recently divorced from our rat of a first husband. And several of the secondary characters are older folks with happy lives and wick sense of humor. We all should be so luck to have a group of friends like the knitting circle in these books.
What do You think about Moon Spinners (2010)?
Loved it! Such a fun read. Characters are charming and fun! Good story.

Too easy to figure out this one, but nice to meet some new characters.
