I usually like cozy mysteries, but this one just had too many quirky characters and they were more weird than they were quirky. Plus I think the fact that I don't embroider anything made the fact that the main character embroiders everything she owns seem a bit over the top to me. That's not to say that if you are a big fan of pictures and words all over your clothes and household items, you are not just as stylish as the person with the knitted hat and sweater, but if you start knitting your pants . . . the line is drawn.
Willow, the main character moves to a quaint town where her best friend, Haylee, owns a fabric store and Haylee's three mother figures own a knitting shop, button shop, and I can't even remember what the third shop sells. They all give lessons to the locals and the tourists. The only policeman is an inept old guy called Uncle Allen by everyone in town, the townswomen are all busybodies who don't like the newcomers, and all the eligible men are tall, fit, and handsome.
Willow is suspected of murder and tries to solve the case with the help of her friends.
