BY HOOK OR BY CROOK Crochet Mystery, Book 3

Molly Pink likes to stick her nose into mysteries, and narrator Margaret Strom gives a strong performance of Molly's adventures. A woman anonymously abandons a crochet piece with an embedded message with the Tarzana Hookers, a charity crochet group, and Molly tracks down the creator, only to find she's been poisoned. Of course, in this cozy mystery Molly investigates on her own, and Strom provides the ideal expressions for a laugh-out-loud audiobook. As narrator, she is the perfect straight woman for the many humorous situations Molly gets herself into. She particularly shows the silliness of Molly's mother's one-hit-wonder band from 50 years earlier, the She-La-Las, who are trying to stage a comeback. Strom's performance makes this audiobook especially entertaining. V.M.G. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2018]
