A nice addition to a charming series, but not the best

Betsy is a 50 something woman who inherited a needlecraft shop from her sister, whose murder Betsy investigated in the first book of the series. Newly divorced, Betsy inherited a new life in a small town Minnesota along with the shop, and a collection of colorful characters who soon became friends. In this book, recurring character Godwin (Betsy's flamboyantly gay and invaluable assistant) is accused of murdering his long-term but recently estranged lover, and it's up to Betsy to find the real killer.
Reading this series is always a pleasure, and this book is no exception. However, I find one of the joys of reading books in a series to be the cast of ongoing characters, and with the exception of Godwin, they seemed very light in this book. Yes, they were there (unlike the last book in the series, which was set out of town) but they seemed nearly incidental.
Having said that, Betsy is a fun if uncomplicated protagonist, and Godwin an over-the-top and amusing friend in distress, and the book will charm fans of the genre.

Monica Ferris continues to please with Betsy's antics! I love all the characters and always relish a return trip to Excelsior, MN!
In this one, Betsy's faithful assistant, Godwin is accused of murdering his boyfriend (John) and she sets out to prove him innocent. This story helps to develop Godwin's character as lot as well as provide an interesting plot.
