Dire Threads (2011) - Plot & Excerpts

OK cozy about a woman who has thrown up corporate life in New York City to move to a small, eccentric town and hang out with many eccentric but goodhearted friends. Willow also has a tendency to fall for any cute guy that comes around, and, to me, spends a little bit too much time on those kinds of speculations, given that she was accused of murdering the local zoning commissioner. Bad guys are very bad and Willow and her friends are very good, so you don't get any surprises with this one, but it is a fine escapist read. This book was ok. There is a town that is dedicated to the fabric arts, sewing, knitting and embroidery are some examples. Willow is a shop owner and an amature detective. She is wrongly accused of a murder in her back yard. Willow and her friends investigate.I think the main thing I didn't like about it is that we don't know anyhting about Willow thus I have no sympathy/empathy for her character. She just seems like a know it all New Yorker in a small town ridding roughshod over the locals.
