A little more research on Wicca would have been nice but otherwise good ( )

This was a good story. It kept me guessing who done it, until the very end. I thought it was pretty east to figure out the method of the murder. Too many hints were dropped. But I didn't figure out who the murderer was.

There was a little too much talk of planning the Halloween parade throughout the book. Not enough needlework for my fast. I wanted to know more about blackwork, since I had never heard of it before. A possible love interest for Betsy is introduced at the end of the book. It will be interesting to see what comes of that. ( )

This was an enjoyable cozy mystery with a fun theme. I am a needle-worker so I enjoyed reading about a needlework shop owner. The mystery was okay. I thought the motive was rather dumb, but I guess there isn't any really good motive for murder if you think about it. The methodology was interesting and I enjoyed reading about the cast of characters. I will definitely continue the series, or in my case, go back and read book one.

Another good whodunit, and I didn't figure out which person it was! ( )
