Crewel Yule

This charming mystery is engagingly read by Melissa Hughes, who finds distinctive and realistic voices for its many female characters. When the International Needlework Retailers Guild's annual cash-and-carry market is changed from February to the middle of December, Betsy Devonshire, owner of Crewel World; her assistant, Goodwin DuLac; and friend, Police Sergeant Jill Larson, find themselves snowed in. The next thing they know they're involved in a murder investigation. Hughes enables the listener to follow the investigation, including flashbacks of back story and interviews with suspects. Hughes is the perfect reader for this series of needlework cozies. S.C.A. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
