A Flock & Fiber Mystery

review 1: This book had the potential to be a nice cozy mystery. I also really like fiction that adds a component where you learn about a new topic. This book had that with the fiber and spinning. Unfortunately it needed a good editor. There were several grammatical errors that were annoying and too much description of mundane details. We did not need to read verbatim dialog and descriptions of each of the customers that Martha had at the Gathering. For example we were told that she added her business card each time! Much of the dialog was on the silly side with "Will do" appearing too many times. We were introduced to many of her customers in detail but for no reason since they never appeared in the book again. The main characters should have been better developed so the reader wo... moreuld have a connection with them. I did enjoy reading about the dogs and alpacas. I would consider trying the next book in the series if I found out that the writing had improved
review 2: This book almost made me want to take up spinning! (I'll probably check out the YouTube videos mentioned in the text.) The author does an excellent job of introducing the reader to the fiber arts and the amazing Great Pyranees dog breed. Some may complain about the slower pace than found in many murder mysteries, but it really suits the characters and subject matter, creating a relaxed feel overall with momentary stresses caused by the naughty basher/stabber. Although there are a few copy errors, an occasional awkward construction, and a few other minor problems ("bloom" should be explained the first time the word appears rather than later, for example), these are not enough to seriously diminish enjoyment. It's very easy to see the characters as real people involved in the business of the Gathering. Even the romance (so often mishandled) fits the story and characters perfectly. Plenty of clues and suspects, spaced carefully through the action. The psychology works fine. While not for everyone, definitely recommended if you want an enjoyable, relaxing read. less
