Synopsis

After her good friend Godwin has a nasty quarrel with John, his significant other, full-time needlework shop owner and part-time sleuth Betsy Devonshire finds herself with a roommate. Betsy doesn't mind having company, though Godwin is restless and unhappy over the sudden break-up. But sadness turns to grief when Betsy and Godwin discover John dead in his home, and Godwin is arrested for the murder. Betsy knows her friend couldn't be the killer, and sets out to prove it. What she learns is that John had a cat's cradle of secret dealings that had made him a bundle of money, and a lot of enemies. Now, Betsy has to untangle a web of lies if she's going to save Godwin—and find the murderer.

Goodreads review by Kirsti on August 27, 2016

I guess I've been expecting this scenario from the very beginning; it was just set up a little too much. This is not a bad thing, in fact I wanted it to happen very much. Not the murder, just the innocent accused of it, because I knew Betsy would prove herself again. I was not disappointed! If that g......more

Goodreads review by Denise on July 27, 2009

Even though I am not a "needlecrafter" myself I enjoy this series (and others that deal with sewing, quilting, crochet, knitting....).
