Early one morning on the shore of the Thames, DCI Samuel Owusu is called to the scene of a gruesome discovery. When Owusu sends the evidence for examination, he learns the bones are connected to a cold case that left three people dead on the kitchen floor in a Chelsea mansion thirty years ago. Rachel Rimmer has also received a shock—her husband, Michael, has been found dead in the cellar of his house in France. All signs point to an intruder, and the French police need her to come urgently to answer questions about Michael and his past that she very much doesn’t want to answer.

Unemployed at 29, Tess Monaghan is willing to take any freelance job to pay the rent—including a bit of unorthodox snooping for her rowing buddy, Darryl "Rock" Paxton. In a city where someone is murdered almost every day, attorney Michael Abramowitz's death should be just another statistic. But the slain lawyer's notoriety—and his noontime trysts with Rock's fiancée—make the case front page news...and point to Rock as the likely murderer. But trying to prove her friend's innocence could prove costly to Tess.

It was inescapably chilling, as if the murderer was methodically working his way down a page torn from the phone book. The three victims brutally killed in their own homes had one thing in common: They were all listed as M. Douglas. The fact that Mara Douglas is next on the list has her jumping at shadows, until FBI agent Aidan Shields shows up to make sure she doesn't become the fourth victim.

Unnecessary ghost stories
I usually don’t mind the different scenarios involved each of the mysteries. They were interesting but telling ghost stories are so unnecessary and a waste of time. There were no interesting information that you could gain from it in this story and solving the mystery took too long. I didn’t like this book as much as I did the others.

Between books, I forget
The characters and stories are engaging and clever. The needlecraft stuff is interesting. The narrator… has rarely if ever heard English spoken aloud. (I grew up in the Midwest, so it’s not that!)

another fun story
Betsy finds herself in a tough spot when she finds out that the contractor (Foster John) she's hired to fix her roof is believed by everyone in town to be guilty of two murders. Foster John asks Betsy to prove that he isn't a killer.
The best part of this book is probably that we get to see more about Betsy's life. The mystery isn't bad but felt more like an excuse to write more about Betsy & her friends.
I must admit that I find hearing about Betsy & Crewel World to be plenty entertaining even without a mystery.

Roof with a Leak and an Alibi that's Weak
When Betsey contracts Foster Johns to have the roof fixed at Crewel World, her needlecraft shop, she has no idea that Foster Johns has a bad reputation in Excelsior, Minnesota. But when he shows up for his pay after the roof passes inspection, the Monday Bunch is downright rude to Foster Johns and Betsey is flabbergasted at their behavior. After he leaves, she confronts them about how rude they were and they inform her that he's a killer. 😨 So how is it that he's free to walk around conducting business? They tell her that Foster killed Angela and Paul Schmitt five years ago, and that Detective Mike Malloy botched the case, and had to let him go . . .and that Foster had been having a love affair with Angela. A few days later, Foster returns and asks for Betsey's help in clearing his name. She is reluctant to get involved, but after thinking it over, she agrees, telling Foster that she will not protect him if he's guilty. Its interesting how Betsey investigates and learns about all that had happened five years earlier. I love this series. I love the needlework, the people in the stories, and how she eventually gets to the root of the issues, pointing out the smallest of things that even the detectives miss. 😊 A fun listen.

Good story, however there seems to be an agenda for the writer.
The story overall is good. I don't understand why the author feels the need to make some characters gay when their sexual preference had absolutely no bearing on the story.
