I liked this novel so much that immediately upon finishing it I put the next one on hold at my library. I'm new to cozy mysteries and my first venture into this genre was fair (Buried in a Bog), but I was intrigued by the plot of Dying in the Wool and I thought I'd give it a try. Kate Shackleton is a GREAT heroine--she's smart, capable, and likable. She is called up by her friend, the daughter of a wealthy mill "master", who wants to find out what really happened to her father (who is assumed to be dead) years before the opening of the novel. We also find out some background about Kate herself--she was a nurse in World War II, her husband is missing, assumed dead, and she was adopted by her parents. 
 The pace of the book was perfect and I found that, by the end, I couldn't put it down. I had to know what happened! I can't wait to start the next installment of this series and I hope it's just as good as this one :)
