About this listen

Owner of the Crewel World needlework shop and part-time sleuth Betsy Devonshire heads for the Minnesota north woods to renovate an old cabin. But beneath the awful linoleum is something even uglier - the skeleton of a Nazi. Betsy's investigation yields the site of a former German POW camp, a mysterious crocheted rug, and an intricately designed pattern of clues to a decades-old crime.

I've read a few books by this author. This one is really far-fetched: why would a knitting shop owner want to solve a 50 year old mystery and start throwing her weight around (specially of course since I knew the solution immediately)?
The heroine is the usual bossy boots - who interestingly answers her phone while dealing with customers...
Passed the time agreeably enough though - and I learnt what Minne means in Minnesota.

Not very interesting

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Mainly because the narrator, usually very competent, did the worst Irish (I think) accent I have ever heard. The story was odd, although, as ever, well researched

Not up to usual standards

These gentle tales always come to a satisfactory solution. Sometimes life you need that. Makes me want to take up embroidery.

An Enjoyable Series
