I just finished reading "Hooked on Murder" by Betty Hechtman (scroll down the sidebar on the right to my book list). It is the cutest (can't think of a better word) little book! Not only is the murder mystery convincing (it took me until chapter 20 to figure out "who done it"), it also revolves around the life of a delightful, if a bit eccentric, crochet "sit and stitch" group that meets at a bookstore.
Not quite romantic suspense (there are no love scenes --- shucks!), the protagonist does have a love interest, and I like the fact that she is close to my age and has a point of view that I can definitely relate to. This doesn't mean younger readers won't get a kick out of it
A real treat is that the author includes a crochet pattern and a scrumptious recipe at the end of the book.
So if you're looking for a "light" read that will have you chuckling throughout because the crochet world it presents is so familiar, then I highly recommend it. If you decide to read it, let me know what you think.
