Synopsis

When the historic Hopkins ferry was raised from the bottom of the lake, who would have thought they were literally raising the dead? But there it was—a skeleton—right before their eyes. Unfortunately, the evidence is slim and soggy: the boat sank in 1949, the victim on board was a woman, and near the body is a piece of unidentifiable lacelike fabric. Sounds like a job for Betsy Devonshire. Betsy knows there's more to this story than what's on the surface. And once she and patrons of her needlecraft shop start lending a hand, they are sure to stitch together the details of this unnerving mystery.

I found this on a free pile. I can't think why. It's probably the best book ever written.......more

Goodreads review by Robyn

I really want to like this series more...... It's still leaving me a bit flat. The author spends quite a bit of time talking about Betsy's weight and how she needs to trim down. How is that advancing our plot? When our murder victim is found, the lead detective wants to know whether the victim was a......more
