Knit One, Kill Two by Maggie Sefton: Why This Cozy Mystery Still Hooks Readers Today

If you know me, you know I’m absolutely obsessed with cozy murder mysteries. It started way back when I was a teenager, and honestly… the obsession has only grown stronger. These days, my commute is basically my audiobook time, and nothing boosts my mood like a good cozy mystery.

So when I picked up a new series recently, I had to share it with you—because I’m pretty sure you’ll fall in love with it too.

Book Spotlight: Knit One, Kill Two

Set in the warm, welcoming town of Fort Connor, Colorado, this cozy mystery follows Kelly Flynn, a smart and determined accountant who returns home after the shocking murder of her aunt. What she expects to be a quick visit quickly spirals into a full-on investigation when she realizes the truth behind the crime might be far more complicated.

One of my favorite parts? Kelly finds herself surrounded by an eclectic and lovable group of knitters at Lambspun—a charming yarn shop that becomes her home base. Between knitting sessions and clue-hunting, Kelly starts unraveling a mystery that just might put her in danger next.
