Knitting Bones by Monica Ferris

After reading "Crewel Yule" I immediately looked for another book by Ferris. This one was another fun, quick read. Betsy is the owner of the needlework store Crewel World. One afternoon she is talked into going horseback riding by best friend Jill. An accident leaves Betsy with a broken leg and out of action for a while. When the husband of the Embroiderers' Guild 's president goes missing, along with a check they had raised for charity, everyone in Betsy's world is drawn into sleuthing on her behalf. Throw in an injured crow who hides out in Betsy's apartment and you have an entertaining book. (The crow would have been killed in Minnesota because of the injury - so it was going to be spirited away to Iowa where it could live out its days! Yeah Iowa)
