I really love this series, and after taking a long break from it, it was terrific to read this 6th installment. This one seemed better than the previous couple, and makes me want to pick up the next one right away! Very entertaining and fun. And one doesn't have to be a needlework fan to enjoy them, though I certainly am and I love it!

Monica Ferris writes a good book. You laugh and wonder if you can figure out who did it. You feel like you know the people in these books and they live just down the lane. A great read.

Betsy Devonshire is new to Excelsior, so she does not know that the contractor she hired to fix her roof is suspected by everyone to have murdered his lover and her husband 5 years ago, and gotten away with it from lack of evidence. But when Foster Johns protests his innocence and offers to pay her to investigate, Betsy believes him, against the advice of most of her friends, and she is determined to find the truth.

This book went a little slower than previous volumes of the series. There seemed to be long stretches of conversation that didn't lead anywhere, to hide one clue which was pretty obvious to the reader anyway, and long stretches of description. If I wasn't as interested in the characters, having read previous books, I might have been more bored with this one. Still, the mystery was decent, and although a bit of a stretch in places in the final revelation, satisfying enough to make me stick with the series.
