About this listen
A murder mystery adventure, Knitting In Jamaica weaves its way through history and the origins of knitting, as well as the art of distilling Scotch whisky.
Join Sean Morrison, Kaylee Wu, and Pistachio as they travel from San Francisco to Jamaica and, finally, to the lush Scottish Highlands, trying their best to stay alive while figuring out what the hell is going on and why people around them are being murdered.
Four murders, seven deaths, and three kidnappings, to be exact. Our unlikely adventurers garner help from relatives, the police, even a Voodoo priestess, and a Druid witch, who conjure up spirits from the Scottish fog. Monstrous wolves, wild boar, dragons, and even fairies (Fair Folk), are summoned to aid the police in their attempt to catch the killers and shut down a massive bootlegging and counterfeit Scotch whisky operation costing the Scottish and Japanese whisky industries millions of dollars.
Wait––did I mention the possible fifteenth-century buried treasure?

Non-stop action and many surprises!
The story starts in San Fransisco and quickly moves across the globe! Never a dull moment, with plenty of historical facts and in sights to support the flow of the story. An international crime syndicate, smuggling, bootlegging, counterfeiting, murder and more. Learn about the history of spycraft in knitting. I’ll be looking up Gary’s other book series!

A Thrilling Mystery Across Continents
I absolutely loved Knitting in Jamaica! This book is a perfect blend of mystery, adventure, and rich character development. The story kicks off with the shocking murder of Sean’s grandmother in San Francisco, which immediately pulls you in. The plot twists and turns as Sean and his girlfriend become targets of people who believe they’re in possession of something incredibly valuable. What follows is a thrilling chase that spans from San Francisco to Jamaica to Scotland, keeping the suspense high throughout.
The characters are one of the highlights of the book. Each one is distinctive and brings something unique to the table. Sean is a relatable protagonist, torn between grief and the need to protect himself and his loved ones. His relationship with his girlfriend is also well-developed, adding a layer of emotional depth to the action. And then there’s the intriguing cast of secondary characters—some shady, some helpful—who make the journey all the more interesting.
What really sets Knitting in Jamaica apart is its setting. From the vibrant streets of San Francisco to the lush landscapes of Jamaica and the eerie, atmospheric vibe of Scotland, the locations play a huge role in creating tension and keeping you on the edge of your seat. The way the author weaves the different environments into the story is fantastic, and the narration on Audible brings it all to life. The pacing is just right, with plenty of action and suspense, but also moments of introspection and character development.
The mystery itself is cleverly constructed, with red herrings and surprises that keep you guessing until the very end. I found myself constantly trying to piece together the clues alongside Sean, and I was definitely not disappointed with the conclusion.
Overall, if you’re into murder mysteries with a bit of adventure, suspense, and great characters, Knitting in Jamaica is a must-read (or in this case, must-listen)! Highly recommended.

Oh my, there is a lot more than knitting going on!
I have been knitting all my life and was beyond pleased to hear so much rich knitting history in what turns out to be a murder mystery that’s got it all and a lot more. Fast-paced, with some twists I never saw coming. And the narrator, OMG, is wonderful. I couldn’t wait to get back and listen to it.
