A Murderous Yarn Audiobook

" I finished this one in one day - a quick read with delightful characters and antique cars. "

" Cute. I figured out the murderer pretty quickly and could have done with a lot less car stuff (just not my thing), but still enjoyed the characters. "

" Least favorite so far of the needlecraft mysteries. However, nice seeing more of the relationship between Jill and Lars. Also learned a new needlepoint term Ort. "

" Monica Ferris' books tend to be my "disengage brain" books. Ones to read on the treadmill. I downloaded the audio book from the library this time. It was too predictable. Certain suspects suddenly jump on the scene and yet when the murderer and plot were revealed, I had known it for a long time, even though the build up was missing. It was too obvious how it had to develop. "

" A Murderous Yarn (Needlecraft Mysteries) by Monica Ferris (2002) "

" I liked the book and its characters "

" I thought I was getting a mystery, turns out I was getting a story about antique cars. The mystery and murder are hidden behind way to many details about cars and a few other minor story lines that seemingly have nothing to do with the plot. The mystery/murder is completely predictable and there are no twits or surprises. Very disappointing. "

" Another good summertime read -- I have read a couple of others from this series and enjoyed them all. "

" I didn't like this book at all. It was more about antique cars than needlework. I can't think of anything more boring that reading about cars. I figured out the culprit quickly. I don't know if I'm going to continue this series. I liked the first three, but it seems to be going downhill. "

" BORING....the public library did not have this one so I had to online search for it. (Should have been the 1st clue!) This book was so bad I quit reading the series. Never finished the book. "

" Stanley Steamers and cross stitch -- not a combination I would have predicted. The outcome of the mystery, now THAT I could predict! But for a light read, to relax and not think too hard about, this book fits the ticket. "

" Book sale bk Antiqur car event/race great setting plot not her strongest but fun read "

" Not a compelling mystery. I had this one figured out almost from the beginning; but I did learn a few things from it. Know what an ort is? "

" This book had a lot about antique cars, which was interesting, but I missed the talk about needlework and the shop, although there was some. We did get to spend a good bit of time with Lars, Jill's boyfriend, and that was nice. "

" Ferris must have a friend or relative involved with antique cars. Lots of background info wrapped around a thin mystery. The two not as connected as some of her books. "

" Another winner from Monica Ferris, a great cozy mystery. "

" Betsy's involved in an antique car race "

" Listened to another one of the Needlecraft series. Discovered that I am not that interested in antique car tours -- the site of this mystery. Could have skipped this one. "

" Very good book! I spent most of the day reading it. It is very quick to start figuring out who done it. "

" Another quick read with Betsy and her friends. "

" Yet another Needlecraft Mystery from Monica Ferris that was a pleasant read. All these murders make for interesting characterizations. That is the real appeal of the series. "

" This was okay--pleasant to listen to in the car--but too easy to figure out what happened. "

" This was a good book to me. I even enjoyed learning a few things about old cars but it wasn't her best story line. "

" I especially enjoyed how the author showed that hobbyists of any stripe get really, really geeky about what they are into. "

" Not my favorite in the series, but enjoyable none the less. "

" Really enjoyed the book and would like to read more by the same author. The cross stitch references were a nice touch. "

" I love this series, but I can't say that I loved this book. For me, it just really focused too much on antique cars and not enough on the shop. "

" This isn't the best book of the series but I still liked it. I was able to figure out the murderer pretty early in the story. I am looking forward to the next book. "

" A few new characters but another great Crewel World mystery! "

" The murder in this one revolves around an antique car club. Not my thing, so this one did not appeal to me as much as the others. "
