Publisher Description

The stitchers of the Embroiderers Guild raised over twenty thousand dollars for charity—but the representative who accepted the check at the annual convention disappeared with it. It turns out that he's the husband of the local chapter president, Allie Germaine, who insists on his innocence. But if Bob Germaine didn't pocket the check, who did? And where is Bob now? Since needlework shop owner Betsy Devonshire has broken her leg horseback riding, solving the latest crime will have to be a group project.

"This book in the series is different than others in that the reader knows very early on who committed the crime, and much of the why and how, so we're rooting for Betsy and her friends to collect the clues and figure it out, too. It is written well enough and still has enough suspense that it is enjoyable to read. We are left wondering how Betsy and Godwin will find their clues and put them together, which keeps enough interest to keep reading. This is a different format than the others in the series but a fun change."

    " Did not like this as well as the other books in the series. It just seemed lame and mostly about the assistant, Goddie, who is not my favorite character. "

    " This one is interesting in that the narrative goes back and forth between investigators Betsy, who's laid up with a broken leg, and Godwin, taking over for her in the interview department, and the probable bad guy, who can't remember doing anything wrong. Another plus is a crow with a broken wing that Betsy is temporarily taking care of. "

    " This was a disappointing book. The main character breaks a leg and is confined through most of it in her apartment. She has her assistant do most of the sleuthing, so there's a lot of repetition. Plus, there are many point of view shifts, which I found annoying. "

    " Goddy is the hero in this book because Betsy is hindered by a broken leg and is stuck in her apartment. She does do her usual deducing and sends Goddy to do the footwork to catch the killer. An interesting change to seeing Betsy doing all the sleuthing! "
