Betsy Devonshire has settled into her new home in Excelsior, Minnesota, as owner of the town’s needlecraft shop. So why is she suffering from terrifying nightmares? She hasn’t a clue—but thinks maybe it would help to get away for a while. With her friend Jill in tow, she heads north for a “stitch-in” at a remote, rustic lodge. But her nightmares only get worse—especially after she finds a dead woman no one else had seen. Then the body disappears—and she knows she won’t get any rest until she untangles the mysterious threads of the crime....

Thoroughly enjoyable story

You may not believe the ending plot. I didn't!

The mystery of the story was very involved.

The narration was excellent.

Series need some humor.

I didn’t guess who was guilty. I thought it was someone else. Surprise to me. I enjoy the friendship between Jill and Betsy. The series could also use a bit of humor sprinkled throughout the story. Murder stories get a bit heavy without a bit of humor to soften it.

Stitch In convention

Location change was delightful. Loved details re: scenery. Charaters varied and complex. Excellent descriptions of stitchery.

Guessing until the End

Having read this series when it first came out, I decided to listen to the audio version on my work commute. Apparently I had forgotten to read this one because the story was new and the mystery, like the sleepy Betsy, kept eluding my brain. I love the twists and turns. the voice actress was consistent with only one vocal slip on a very minor character. An excellent choice!

Really??!!

I keep listening to these, as they are entertaining, but don’t expect any of this to be realistic. The idea that Betsy would get away with her investigations with any actual law enforcement agency strains credulity, and her cavalier attitude toward evidence is laughable. But I do keep listening. 😜
