This cozy mystery series is like eating potato chips - light, addicting and fun. Needlework shop owner Betsy Devonshire and her friend and store manager Godwin du Lac are at a December needlework convention in Tennessee when a woman falls from the 9th floor railing to her death inside the hotel. Everyone thinks it's an accident except Jill Cross Larson, Betsy's cop friend, who starts to investigate. Fortunately for their efforts, the hotel has been snowed in so no one can leave. It turns out the dead woman has made several enemies, but which one did it?

These familiar characters have become like good friends, growing and developing with each book, and it's fun to visit with them. I'm really enjoying this series, and surprisingly even the needlecraft portions are very interesting even though I've never liked needlecraft before. The revelation in this one was a little anticlimactic, but still a good read.
