Publisher Description
When the historic Hopkins ferry was raised from the bottom of the lake, who would have thought they were literally raising the dead? But there it was—a skeleton—right before their eyes. Unfortunately, the evidence is slim and soggy: the boat sank in 1949, the victim on board was a woman, and near the body is a piece of unidentifiable lacelike fabric. Sounds like a job for Betsy Devonshire. Betsy knows there's more to this story than what's on the surface. And once she and patrons of her needlecraft shop start lending a hand, they are sure to stitch together the details of this unnerving mystery.

"I really like this series. The people are interesting and you feel like you know them. Plus I really like various kinds of needlework, so I can relate to talk in the shop. I wish I had that kind of shop in my city. "

Quotes

“Fans of Jessica Fletcher will devour this.”
— Rendezvous -
“Fans of mystery fiction in which they expect to learn new things will not be disappointed. Anyone who thought needlecraft consisted only of knitting and darning will be surprised to discover a vast world of subtlety and variation. Indeed, the solution to this well-conceived and delivered mystery is inextricably bound to the art of needlecraft.”

“If you are a needlecraft fan, the free cross-stitch pattern and detailed descriptions of lace making, knitting and counted cross-stitch could make this the perfect mystery for you.”
