Silence of the Lamb's Wool by Betty Hechtman

"This is a tightly plotted , cosy novel about a young woman trying to run a weekend , wool-centred event which descends into murder .It's fairly formulaic : young woman, two suitors, work problems, a critical mother who eventually comes through in support , the work problems and the murder all end up satisfactorily solved amid loads of speciality muffins and mutual goodwill .It's very enjoyable, pleasantly escapist stuff and just the thing for a winter's evening by the fire ...." "Silence of the Lamb's Wool is the second book in Betty Hechtman's Yarn Retreat Mystery series (the first book is Yarn to Go). We return to the beautiful (and fictional) Vista Del Mar resort on the Monterey Peninsula in California. Casey is hosting her second yarn retreat, and, of course, being a mystery, there's another death--but is it suicide or murder? The main characters introduced in Yarn to Go are back, and we learn more about them. I particularly enjoyed getting to know more about Dr. Sammy and Dane. This book can stand alone, however, if you want to read this one first....."

두 번째로 읽은 '뜨개질' 관련 코지 미스터리 작품이다. 전작에 비해서 시간이나 노력이 더 걸린 작품이다. '뜨개질'에 대하여 잘 모르는 부분도 있고 내용 자체도 집중력이 떨어지는 부분이 있는 거 같다.  문장이나 표현도 전작에 비해서 집중을 요구하는 부분이 많다. 시리즈 초반이라 등장인물들도 자리를 잡아가는 과정이고 아직까지는 애정이 가는 인물이 없는 거 같다. 다만 읽고 나면 뜨개질에 대한 매력을 조금 느낄 수 있는 거 같다.
