Dangling By A Thread is the 4th installment of the Mainly Needlepoint Series. I have read the first book in the series, but somehow missed reading the next 2. It didn't make me feel like I needed to read the others first. There were a couple of things that were referred to from the past books but it was explained enough that I didn't feel lost. It does, however make me want to go back and read the 2 that I have missed, and I will do!
I enjoyed the mystery of this book. Jessie Lockhart is a hermit who lives alone on King's Island. It's a sanctuary for an endangered bird species, the Great Cormorants, and he's made it his mission to keep the island safe for his birds. But a wealthy family shows up in the area, and wants to buy King's Island and Jessie will have none of that. When Jessie turns up dead, Angie is determined to find his killer and take up the cause to save the island.
There were lots of twists and turns throughout the course of the story, it wasn't easy to figure out 'whodunnit' I'm a bit torn on the story though, I would have liked more interaction of the Needlepointers. Angie didn't seem to do much for the business throughout the story.. she did check in here and there with people but, it seemed like she wasn't really running a business at all. I enjoy the backstory or I guess the secondary stories in most cozy mysteries with the main character running their business, not just all mystery. I did like that at the beginning of each chapter, there is a quote of a sampler and the history behind it, it's quite unique. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a solid cozy mystery series.
Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for an ARC in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
