I decided to try this series when I discovered that Monica Ferris and Margaret Frazer (one of my favorites) are the same author, Mary Monica Pulver. Betsy Devonshire, in the middle of a mid-life crisis, has been invited by her sister Margot Bergelund for an extended stay at her home in Excelsior, Minnesota. She helps Margot run her needlecraft shop, Crewel World. But when Margot is found dead, she believes it to be deliberate instead of a burglary gone wrong, and is determined to find out the truth. The story exhibits the author's skill with character development; though it is not as engaging as her medieval mystery series, it's still enough for me to want to read more.
