A pinch of book summaries, a dash of recipe reviews, and some talk about the weather, with a side of chicken.

A Stitch in Time by Monica Ferris
This is book 3 in the Crewel World mysteries, featuring Betsy Devonshire.
Christmas is drawing near, and Betsy is doing her best to keep Crewel World in the black. So when an opportunity presents itself to donate materials to a hand made tapestry found at the local church, she figures this would go a long way towards some free advertising. What she didn't count on was getting stranded in a blizzard. Or the arsenic poisoning that followed. Putting two and two together, she figures someone is trying to kill her and it has something to do with that tapestry.
Okay. This is purely a fluffy, lighthearted, brain-candy mystery. Expectations need to stay there. As with the first book Crewel World, I had no problems figuring out the "who done it" almost immediately. The reason I keep reading these is because I need an occasional fluffy, lighthearted, brain-candy mystery and these fit the bill while waiting for the next Tea Shop book to come out by Laura Childs. Or the next Knitting Mystery by Maggie Sefton. If you like needlepoint, knitting and cross stitch mysteries with a Minnesota background, then you might like these.
