The holidays are in full force and Pamela Paterson couldn't be happier when her daughter Penny heads home from college to celebrate. However, the atmosphere quickly changes when Penny finds a dead body, that of Millicent Farthingale, a sop owner. Millicent was someone that always had scandal attached to her name, but her death still manages to shock just about everyone, including Pamela and her Knit and Nibblers team.
Silent Knit, Deadly Knit is the delightful fourth book in the Knit and Nibble series. Whether you choose to read the series in order like I have chosen, or prefer to just grab one here or there, no worries, because each book has a single case that the team seek to solve. Of course, I enjoy continuity, so I was glad to get to this fourth story.
I have gotten to enjoy Pamela and her group of knitting friends. Solving murders is something that falls into their laps. Knitting is something that I have never learned, but I love this lovely group of people. This case is literally too close to home as Millicent was found dead in Pamela's house. How could she not get involved yet again? This is a quick story that is an excellent addition to the series.

I've read a few other books in this series, so I was looking forward to this one. I love several of the characters, including the fourlegged ones. The plot and mystery was interesting enough and I kept guessing until the end who the murderer was.

Thank you Netgalley & Kensington Books for giving me the Advance Review Copy in exchange for an honest review.
I really want to love this book since this is my first ever ARC. However, I am really sad to say that i am quite disappointed. I am the type who judges a book by its cover and I must say that the cover is really nice. It gave me this warm cozy vibe. I love Christmas stories with mysterious elements in it. I love that the book is very atmospheric with all the cooking and the baking and the parties but I feel that I got bored when the author spent more time describing how the food is being prepared than solving the mystery. The main characters are likable, I just wish that the author will develop these characters if there will be another installment.

I enjoyed the first few books in this series and was excited to read this one. I was a little disappointed and found myself reading it even though I lost interest. I love the regular characters and think that may be why I pushed through it. I think the author was trying to hard to keep the focus on Christmas it took away from the murder mystery. I’m already reading her next book and am enjoying it better than this one.

Another lovely meeting of the Knit and Knibble group. Pamela and her neighbor a busy getting ready for Christmas when Pamela's daughter Penny find a dead body. The body is their art store friend and recipient of a beautiful scarf knit by Bettina. As the busy holiday season unfolds they chase after the missing scarf and talk to family and colleagues of the dead woman. It's a very cozy story with great characters, yummy food, and knitting.

I love this series and I read and I liked the previous instalments. I think that this is one is enjoyable and entertaining but it's also the weakest in this series.
This would have been 3,5* but I rounded to 4 because it was a pleasant read.
I think that there were too many descriptions of everyday life actions and this made the plot a bit slow and sometimes boring.
I was more than happy to meet again the cast of characters, both humane and pets, and to read about their life. They're all likeable and well written as usual.
The mystery was solid, full of twists and turns, and it kept me guessing till the last turn. Unfortunately it sometimes takes the backseat but it was interesting nonetheless.
I look forward to reading the next instalment.
