In this one, things get very personal. Goodwin, Besty's manager and friend is accused of murdering his lover of many years, John. Things don't look good but Besty with the help of the gang at Crewel world gets to the truth.

I've been reading this set of mysteries as I come across them. I knew who all the principals were, but even if I hadn't read any of the prior books the author gives enough back story (but not too much) so that the reader wouldn't be completely lost. About on par with the rest of the series, a light, cozy mystery backed with lots of cross-stitch store trivia.
