Realistic characters, interesting settings and a clever plot--All the makings of a good cozy. In this Betsy gets involved in the world of antique autos and of course, someone dies.
It's apparent almost ...

Sins and Needles (Needlecraft Mystery)
Monica Ferris
Berkley, 2007
Oh, please.
A long-lost relative, a hidden treasure map, a murdered matriach leaving behind a quirky will... this story had all the potential to be a page turner. But while this was a well-written book in the language sense, I found the plot extremely difficult to follow.

Unraveled Sleeve (Needlecraft Mystery)
Monica Ferris
Berkley, 2001
an enjoyable light read
The perfect book to curl up with when you are tired. You will not have to think much when you read this book, the author's habit of spelling everything out for you, makes this a nice light read.

Cutwork (Needlecraft Mystery)
Monica Ferris
Berkley, 2004
Multi-layered satisfaction --
As a needlework person, I've truly enjoyed the previous books in this series. Compared to this one, however, they're appetizers. This book is so meaty, so inclusive, it's like a huge Medieval tapestry in comparison.
Medieval tapestries usually have one central ...

A Stitch in Time (Needlecraft Mystery)
Monica Ferris
Berkley, 2000
Well-plotted cozy mystery with needlecraft theme
This is my second book in the series, and I think I liked it better than the first that I read (Cutwork). This is definitely a women's mystery (or men who do needle crafts). Set around Christmas time in frozen Minnesota, the plot involves an incomplete and mildewed ...

Crewel Yule (Needlecraft Mystery)
Monica Ferris
Berkley, 2005
My favorite of the series
I love the Needlecraft Mystery series. This is my favorite in the series so far. The setting of suspects and investigators trapped in a snowbound hotel along with a cast of others reminds me of an Agatha Christie novel. While this mystery is not as good as an Agatha ...

Framed in Lace (Needlecraft Mystery)
Monica Ferris
Berkley, 1999
2nd title in the Needlecraft Mystery series.
A nice edition to the Needlecraft Mystery. The type of book I like to read while waiting in line or traveling via plane. The story is not very complicated, so it's a book that you can put down and come back to easily. However, after you start this book, you may not ...

Knitting Bones (Needlecraft Mysteries)
Monica Ferris
Berkley Hardcover, 2007
Interesting Twist
This mystery gives us an interesting twist as it puts Godwin at center stage since Betsy is out with a broken leg. It gives the author the ability to really develop his character in this installation. I would say that there wasn't enough store time (half the fun of a ...

Embroidered Truths (Needlecraft Mysteries)
Monica Ferris
Berkley Hardcover, 2005
Light, entertaining read.
For those of us who are into needlecraft of some kind (it's knitting for me), Embroidered Truths is fun and entertaining, while at the same time a murder mystery.
The primary focus on crafts is embroidery, cross stitch (free tlatolli pattern included) and ...

Hanging By A Thread
Monica Ferris
Berkley, 2003
once again the author gives us a good mystery
Betsy has solved a few mysteries since she has arrived in her new "home town" and it makes sense that she would tackle an old mystery. The old mystery is a good one, and kept me reading this book past my bed time.

Crewel World (Needlecraft Mystery)
Monica Ferris
Berkley, 1999
Just collecting the series - then reading!
I love theme mystery series, and I love needlework. This seemed like a perfect match for me, so I'm collecting the entire series before starting. Just from reading the ticklers, tho, I'm sure I won't be disappointed!
