A Crochet Mystery: One for the Hooks : A Crochet Mystery (Series #14) (Hardcover)

One for the Hooks by Betty Hechtman is the 14th A Crochet Mystery. It can be read as a standalone for those new to the series. I thought One for the Hooks was well-written with developed characters. I like that Molly Pink is a mature woman who is a clever and capable. I was not a fan of the way Molly dealt with her son, Peter in this book. I thought she would set down some rules for the pushy son and his cold girlfriend. Molly most do some soul searching when Mason makes her an offer. The whodunit had multiple suspects (a whole neighborhood), misdirection, and a unique method of murder. One detail early in the book is all that is needed to solve the crime (I am not telling you which one). I enjoyed following Molly and Dinah as they dug up information and got themselves into trouble in pursuit of justice. Barry, of course, wants Molly's information, but he is reluctant to share. He also does not always appreciate her theories (you would think he would have learned to trust her by now). There are cute pets, gorgeous yarns, fun with friends, plus book and yarn events. I enjoyed the one-of-a-kind scarf project that Molly came up with using the yarns she purchased for the shop. Adele was even more over-the-top than usual thanks to her vlog. Her outfits match her ego (loud and large). I laughed often while reading One for the Hooks. I am eager for the next A Crochet Mystery after reading the ending. One for the Hooks is an entertaining cozy mystery with ritzy yarns, a significant other's suggestion, a problematic progeny, a daring drone, a curious killing, sensational Serendipity scarves, and the plucky Molly Pink.
