About this audiobook
In this new Yarn Retreat Mystery from nationally bestselling author Betty Hechtman, Casey Feldstein is determined to tie up loose ends to solve another murder . . .
After reconnecting with some old college friends on social media, part-time dessert chef and muffin maker Casey Feldstein has gotten herself roped into hosting a knitting retreat for the group. Tangled up in worries over how they'll judge her unconventional life and the rustic atmosphere at Vista Del Mar, she watches in dismay as the women arrive and their old personalities-and old grudges-come trickling to the surface. But Casey discovers these are the least of her problems when one of the women is found dead.
With everyone a suspect-including an old crush of Casey's who's mysteriously been invited to join the retreat-Casey knows she'll have to start stitching together clues to uncover the culprit. And as long-held secrets start emerging, she begins to suspect that each of the women may have had a motive for murder. Casey wants to avoid needling her old friends with accusations, but she knows she'll have to ask some pointed questions if she's going to unravel the clues and catch a killer . . .

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great to listen to will I worked, enjoyed it
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed the series continuation with believable and interesting characters. The plot maintains your interest. You won't figure out who done the murders. Enjoy this book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Casey runs into a few difficulties when she plans a yarn retreat for some of her college classmates. Old grudges emerge as the group interacts, and everything goes downhill when one of them dies. Secrets abound and slowly come to light as Casey persues the person responsible. Astute readers will likely zero in on the killer before Casey does, but the mystery is still a good one. The continuing characters and the furthering of secondary plot lines add to enjoyment of the series.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Another great book in this series.

The sorority from college will be coming, all people she knows, The Ballerinas. She had tried a lot of different jobs and really liked it but there was no money to run the company.Her aunt Joan had died and left everything with her.... Love how each get to introduce themselves to one another again and especially love the routine with the balls they do.A murder attempt happens and Carrie is the one who collects the clues and tries to solve the mystery. After the attempts and the women know they want to leave the area but Carrie has some ideas on how to keep them there-because one of them could be the culprit.When pigs fly, LOL. I have seen them in TN. love how it fits into this book. Like how the local cop is also investigating from his angle, not his normal at all!Love that she's a baker! Wow I missed so many clues in the story, had no clue who the culprit was.Like hearing of the magic tricks, so cool! Love knit patterns for the scarf attached at the end.And recipe for muffins! Other works and about the author are included at the end.Really enjoyed this book can't wait to read more.Received this review copy from Beyond the Page Publishing via Netgalley and this is my honest opinion.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I always want to take up my knitting needles after reading one of Betty Hechtman's Yarn Retreat mysteries and Inherit the Wool is no exception. The author has created a strong plot with plenty of misdirection, and although I deduced part of the solution, part of it did elude me.I do have to admit that I found this book a bit harder to get into than previous installments because of the reunion setting. This has nothing to do with the author's writing and everything to do with my personal experiences with old classmates and reunions. If I were the main character, there would be no Inherit the Wool because I wouldn't have agreed to host the retreat for those women in the first place. (Yes, in this instance I am a killjoy.)Personal feelings aside, the reunion plot line is well written and shows readers a part of Casey's past that they hadn't seen before, and the resolution is satisfying. Whether or not you like to knit, Inherit the Wool is a very enjoyable way to spend an afternoon. If you haven't given this series a try, I do recommend it. Now... where's that knitting project of mine?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5cozy-mystery, amateur-sleuth, women-sleuths, contemporary, knitting, law-enforcement A logical murder mystery populated by quirky illogical characters, most of whom are trying a bit too hard to show how successful they have become in the fourteen years since they were at college together. Take these folks, subtract the murder victim, add in some local characters and cops, finish up with a magic act,and you have a mystery as complex as a knitting pattern. A good read! I requested and received a free ebook copy from Beyond the Page via NetGalley.
