“Fans of Jessica Fletcher will devour this book.” —Rendezvous
Book Description
The art of needlecraft requires patience, discipline, and creativity. So, too, does the art of detection. Just ask Betsy Devonshire—who’s learning that life in a small-town needlecraft shop can reveal an unexpected knack for knitting…and a hidden talent for unraveling crime.
A Murderous Yarn
Heavens to Betsy Devonshire! She never intended to get so caught up in this year’s antique car race. But as sponsor of one of the entrants, she can’t help but keep a close eye on the outcome—and it’s not pretty. One of the drivers never makes it to the finish line. His car is found exploded in flames. Now Betsy and her crafty friends must determine if it was an accident or the work of a jealous competitor. The answer may be in a piece of needlework, but pinning down a suspect won’t be easy…

3.0 out of 5 stars
it was ok,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Murderous Yarn (Mass Market Paperback)
I saw the title of the book and I was really excited to read it. I was slightly disappointed. It was a slow read and there were some places where it was unclear to me what was going on. The introduction was really really long and the mystery started a third of the way into the book. There were a few parts that really stood out and caught my attention but then it went back to being a slow read. I guess there was just some bad pacing?

More than cross-stitch,

This review is from: A Murderous Yarn (Mass Market Paperback)
I had heard a lot of good things about this series, and being a fan of cross-stich and needlepoint, was looking forward to reading one of them. I was surprised to see that needlecraft seemed to take a back seat (pardon the pun) to the antique cars featured prominently in the plot of this entry into the series. Perhaps earlier books in the series were more focused in needlework, and this one did include a pattern at the back. And it did contain some interesting information on antique cars.

This review is from: A Murderous Yarn (Mass Market Paperback)
I always like to learn something while reading for pleasure, which is why cozies appeal to me so much. The addition of antique cars to the neeedlework in this series was a bonus. I find Betsy a thoroughly likeable, believable amateur sleuth. I am still reading through this series and hate to get caught up. Waiting for another to come out is agonizing.
