About this listen
Betsy is still new enough to Excelsior, Minnesota, to not know a scandal when she causes one. So, when she hires Foster Johns to fix her roof, the resulting uproar has her needled.
The whole town has pinned a five-year-old unsolved double murder on him. Betsey believes Johns when he says he isn't guilty. But she'll have to use every stitch of her sleuthing skills to tie up all the loose ends that will prove his innocence once and for all.

Easy listening
I enjoy the characters in these books. The writing flows nicely, it’s well read and isn’t full of gore or sex

A Refreshingly Different Amateur Sleuth.
I have not read any of the previous stories in this series, but if they’re as good as this one, I’ll be a fan.
Why?
1. She’s an amateur sleuth, who methodically asks questions, but is not hindered by having an emotional connection to the investigating Detective. Therefore, there are not the tedious requests for her not to be involved.
In fact, strangely, she is somewhat assisted by the local (& national) police.
2. She actually solves the case, by her thorough investigation and deductive skills. The perpetrator doesn’t give themselves away by trying to kill her to keep her quiet, thus requiring a last minute rescue from aforementioned law enforcement boyfriend!
This is a refreshing Cozy tale. Quite low key and just as balanced about the craft shop as the crime solving. I shall now try book 1 to see how she got to this laidback stage.
As for the narrator, Susan Boyce, her character delineations aren’t great, she doesn’t have a wide range of female voices, so it’s easy to get them confused. But, with a bit more focus than I usually give, it was tolerable.

Enjoyable as always but what about the rest
I really enjoy this series. It’s a light hearted mystery romp I can listen to whilst crafting! However I’m going to complain here because the next 5 books are missing from the Audible catalogue. Like many others I’ve invested in the characters and want to know what has happened to them not jump 5 years ahead. All the later books are available so why not numbers 8-12?

Needs more chain-stitching
Light, fun listening in spite of random inclusions - Rik Lightfoot, for eg - turfed in with absolutely no relevance to plot. But a sweet little gambol down Amateur Detective Lane. Manage your expectations and you'll enjoy this
