Publisher Description
Almost everyone in Excelsior, Minnesota—craftsy and noncraftsy alike—has turned out for the art fair. So when an artisan is murdered there, the list of suspects is practically endless. Betsy Devonshire wants to help out in the police investigation. Her best friend, Officer Jill Cross, confides that they have a lead: a bloody footprint in the woodcarvers’ booth matches that of a local youth. But when Betsy can’t keep the news to herself, Jill gives Betsy the cold shoulder. Everyone’s on pins and needles—and when the family of the kid in question asks Betsy to prove his innocence, she must first regain Jill’s trust, then figure out who had designs on the dead designer.

"This one's about a murder at an art show, so there's much talk about, and to, artists. And I love reading about Betsy's needlework shop - how I wish there was one like it in my city. Plus Godwin continues to grow as a character and Jill has a life-changing event."

Cutwork Listener Reviews

" Interesting. I would never have thought the characters would have taken this route. "
— Kathie, 2/19/2014 -
" This was one of the better mysteries in the series ... I had the perpetrator picked out early, but kept getting thrown in other directions, and it was interesting to see how it got back to who I originally suspected. "

" The ART world. The mystery is satisfactory, the ending not so much. "

" Another great book in this series,I read it over two days :) "

" One of my favorites of her books. Set in Mn and themed about needle work. "

" Another endearing slice of small town life in Excelsior - and murder solving from Betsy. This time Betsy is on the trail of the Murderer of an artist, and I must say - I guessed whodunnit very early on - but that doesn't detract too much from what is a cosy easy read, with likeable characters. "

" Very good - I think they're getting better. Artist is killed at local art fair. Goddy, Shelley, and Jill all play big roles. "
— Kitty, 3/27/2013 -
" Monica Ferris has enchanted me with her Needlecraft Mysteries. I was lucky to have them on hand so I didn't have to hunt them down after I became so interested. "
— Mary, 3/5/2013 -
" okay for starting in the middle of the series "

" Cutwork (Needlecraft Mystery) by Monica Ferris (2004) "
— Leigh, 11/27/2012 -
" My least favorite in the series so far. The story is told from too many points of view. Betsy is too ornery, and Jill and Lars are very immature when they are upset with Betsy. Whodunnit was pretty obvious, and finding out why wasn't all that interesting. "
— Tracy, 11/26/2012 -
" I really enjoyed this one. Betsy gets involved when an artist is killed at a local art show she helped organize. When Betsy breaks a confidence, her friendship with police officer Jill Cross may be dead as well. "
— Cindy, 11/8/2012 -
" Another in the Betsy Devonshire Needlework mysteries. I enjoyed this one tremendously. It was a quick read and had information on several needlework things I had never heard of, Hardanger for one. Also some interesting debate on art, what is art, what isn't? "
