Buttons and Bones Audiobook

" I liked that the book was not gruesome but still provided a good mystery. Also, I thought it was a neat idea to include a crosstitch pattern at the end of the book. I can't wait to get started on it! "

" I have this whole series and enjoy it. I love the pattern that is always at the end of the book. You can never have too many patterns :D "

" A nice cozy little murder mystery for a rainy afternoon. "

" This is by far my favorite of the Monica Ferris Needlecraft Mysteries. The theme is good, the plot strong (though I figured it before the end), and the events were interesting. "

" Ferris keeps this mystery series fresh by moving part-time sleuth Betsy Devonshire out of her hometown of Excelsior, MN. Betsy's good friends have just bought what is the dream of many a Minnesotan, a cabin up north. Betsy travels with the Larson's to their new cabin to help with renovations and is on the spot when they discover a skeleton in an old root cellar. The mystery wasn't too hard to figure out, but what made this so interesting was the WWII tie-in of German POW workers in Minnesota near the end of the war. "

" Thankfully the Monday Bunch isn't much involved here and Godwin's become less of a cartoon. The solution is fairly evident by about halfway, but still a light and enjoyable read. More like her earlier work. "

" A great installment in one of my favourite series "

" Predictable. I think I'm about to give up on this series. The "mysteries" are not that great and the characters come off as stiff and formal/awkward. Mildly entertaining at best. "

" another great easy read. I enjoy a mystery without the gore. I also enjoy how Ms Ferris has developed the characters and I feel like they are my friends. "

" This wasn't the best of Monica Ferris's books but it was decent, an 'historial' mystery. That is, the mystery solved in the present took place in the past. I would like to have seen more of Goddy and Sophie, Betsy's cat. "

" Pretty good. The mystery was a little too easy to figure out. I wasn't even aware that there were German POW camps in the US Midwest during WWII, so I learned something. "

" It was okay but I will not seek out reading any more in this series. "

" I really enjoyed the history that was included with the mystery in this book. "

" Finding skeletal remains in a friend's newly purchases Wisconsin summer cottage doesn't bring easy answers to who was he and who done it! Prisoner of war, villager soldier disappears after summons to report for duty, buttons, visitors, lightened with weekly turtle race for the children. "

" Betsy Devonshire works with her friend Jill Larson to solve the mystery of a skeleton. Enjoyable light reading. "

" I really couldn't put it down, had to finish it. "

" Caught up on this series . . . :) "

" I have liked every book in this series. This story has an unexpected twist. Nicely done. "

" Easy mystery but interesting with a bit of history about German POWs in the US during WWII. "

" This one was different in that Betsy is trying to solve a murder from 1945, after a skeleton is found in the cabin her friend Jill has just bought. Very interesting. "

" Not enough needlework in this one. I think Betsy could have owned a hardware store for all the difference it made. It wasn't as bad as the one about steamer cars, but it was also not nearly as good as some of the early ones in this series. "

" Thankfully the Monday Bunch isn't much involved here and Godwin's become less of a cartoon. The solution is fairly evident by about halfway, but still a light and enjoyable read. More like her earlier work. "

" When a skeleton is found in a friend's cabin, Betsy sets about helping her figure out who it might have been. While there are parts I liked, such Betsy's relationship with Goddy and the details of running her shop, I found the historical digging a bit slow and repetitious. <br/><br/> "

" I just opened the book but the other books in the series are fun. An enjoyable book but I figured out the solution to the mystery about 2/3 of the way through. Sweet characters but not enough suspense! "

" A nice cozy little murder mystery for a rainy afternoon. "

" What I learned: if you send $3 to the social security administration with a name and social security number, they'll forward a message to that person. <br/><br/> "
