Publisher's Summary

When adoptee Lucille Jones comes to town researching her roots, Betsy Devonshire notices that she bears a remarkable resemblance to local Jan Henderson. Betsy introduces the look-alikes and they quickly hit it off. But then Jan's wealthy great-aunt is found dead, helped to her grave by a stiff metal wire—a double-zero knitting needle, in fact. Just like the kind Jan knits with.

Lucille begs Betsy to help clear her new friend's name. And while going through her aunt's effects, Jan finds an old pillow lined with an embroidered map of Lake Minnetonka. Betsy intends to follow the threads. Who knows—it could just possibly lead to buried treasure. Or, perhaps, to a secret that someone will kill to keep buried.

Very slow and dull

This is the only weak book in the otherwise very entertaining series. This has very little of Betsy sleuthing, almost nothing of Godwin and no Monday bunch discussions either. Plus, Sophie the cat is never mentioned. It almost looks like someone else wrote the book. If there is one book in the series that one should avoid, it’s this one. The narrator is very good though.

sins and Needles

UGH...UGH..UGH !! AWFUL !! I have read all of the Crewel world previous books and this takes a very wrong turn by changing the narrator and even the storyline. Betsy isn't in much of the story at all. There is no dialog or atypical conversations that usually occur in the needle shop. The whole story revolved around Jan and Sue, and their wealthy aunt that was murdered. Most of the narrative was their storyline with their conversations.
Another listener made these same comments and suggestions to stay away from this book. I wish I had listened to that one. This was a complete waste of time. I jumped several chapters to get to the end of the book
