Sins and Needles
A Needlecraft Mystery - 10
by Monica Ferris
- 1 Have read
As full-time owner of the Crewel World needlework shop and part-time sleuth, Betsy Devonshire has untangled plenty of twisted skeins in the USA Today bestselling Needlecraft Mystery series. But she'll need more than a thimbleful of courage and common sense to solve the latest conundrum...
Sins and Needles
When adoptee Lucille Jones comes to town researching her roots, Betsy notices that she bears a remarkable resemblance to local Jan Henderson. Betsy introduces the look-alikes and they quickly hit it off. But then Jan's wealthy great-aunt is found dead. A stiff metal wire helped the elderly woman into her grave--a double-zero knitting needle, in fact. Just like the kind Jan knits with.
Lucille begs Betsy to help clear her new friend's name. And while going through her aunt's effects, Jan finds an old pillow lined with an embroidered map of Lake Minnetonka. Betsy intends to follow the threads. Who knows--it could just possibly lead to buried treasure. Or, perhaps, to a secret that someone would kill to keep buried...

Work Description
Owner of the Crewel World needlework shop and part-time sleuth, Betsy Devonshire must help clear Jan Henderson's name when her wealthy aunt is found dead, courtesy of a double-zero knitting needle. Just like the kind Jan knits with. And an embroidered map of Lake Minnetonka, found among the aunt's effects, could lead Betsy to a buried treasure-or to a secret that someone would kill to keep buried.
