This was not my favorite of her series--having Betsy in her apartment the whole time was a bit boring. The resolution is a bit predictable too.

This is the 11th in the series. By now, most authors have either fallen in a rut or are repeating themselves. Her stories just keeps getting more complex and more believable. Her writing is improvement. Her characters are consistant but not stagnant. One of the very few authors that I will buy the hardbacks new (and pay full retail!!) and as soon as they come out on the shelf.

Very good, slighty different from the earlier ones, but interesting the way she put the mystery together. Looking forward to new ones to come.

Betsy is incapacitated with a broken leg after a horseback riding accident, so her store manager and friend Godwin has to take her place at the Embroiderers Guild of America banquet. The EGA has raised $24,000 for the Heart Coalition, and the check presented to their representative has vanished along with the man, who is the husband of an EGA member and an acquaintance of Betsy's. She begs her to investigate, sure that her husband is not a thief, so Betsy enlists Godwin's help with the legwork. When his corpse is found, but not the check, Betsy and Godwin now have to track down a murderer as well as the money. As usual, Ferris has penned an intriguing mystery, with a villain with an interesting twist. Thrown in as a sidebar story is a rescued crow that Betsy helps to smuggle out of Minnesota. Ferris continues to hold my interest in this light cozy series and I am looking forward to the next one.

I love this series, but this is not one of my favorites. The focus in this book is more on the criminal than the actual sleuthing. . .

Really enjoyed this one. Kept me guessing till the end.
Alot of Monica Ferris's book are usually set in a Needlecraft shop, these books are great for the knitter or cross-stitcher! Since I love to cross-stitch, thats how I got interested in these books. Knitting Bones is written very well, with a suprise ending!
I have 3 more of Monica Ferris's books in my TBR pile..that I am anxious to read.

Fun little cozy in the Crewel World series. This time, a hefty charity check disappears, along with the executive who picked it up at an embroidery convention. Betsy is laid up with a broken leg, so Goddy acts as her proxy investigator trying to unravel the mystery.
