Embroidered Truths [With Counted Cross-Stitch Pattern]

I love the whole series and there were quite a few twists and turns in this one that I didn't see coming. It's a another good one to add to the list.

I absolutely love this entire mystery series. This installment of Betsy Devonshire is as exquisite as its forerunners!! A mystery lover's got to have series. You don't have to be a knitter to love these!

Monica Ferris continues to please with Betsy's antics! I love all the characters and always relish a return trip to Excelsior, MN! In this one, Betsy's faithful assistant, Godwin is accused of murdering his boyfriend (John) and she sets out to prove him innocent. This story helps to develop Godwin's character as lot as well as provide an interesting plot.

I really enjoy the Betsy Devonshire mysteries, and this one is no exception, but it does fall a little short of the other books in the series. While we get to know a great deal more about Godwin and his relationship with John, there seems to be more description of setting than actual plot development. And to be perfectly honest, Ms Ferris almost gives it away about 2/3 of the way through. The character development was good, and there were a few surprises scattered throughout the book, but they seemed to distract from the story line. A good read, but not one of my favorites by this author

I loved the book. I had a hard time putting it down. I can't wait for the next one. M. McLain
