I used to enjoy doing counted cross-stitch and knew that I would like reading this series. I wish I'd started it sooner though. I hadn't realized what I was missing! The mystery was really good and had me wondering who in the world to trust. The author did a great job of tossing out red herrings and shifting trust or mistrust to the various characters. I even wondered about a couple of the good characters, lol. I did enjoy getting to know Marcy and her new embroidery business customers, her good friend Sadie, her quirky but fun mom Beverly and her new friend Vera who had a skill that came in very handy during the showdown with a killer! That was some showdown too! It was very exciting and satisfying. I liked how everything was explained completely at the end too. I'm not sure whether Marcy will be interested in Todd that her friend Sadie fixed her up with or the good detective Ted, but I'm sure I'll find out when I read on. :)
