Occasionally I enjoy reading mystery books - you know the little old lady
sleuth in the small village who, despite herself, is better than the police
at solving murders. I just finished reading "Framed in Lace" by Monica
Ferris. There are two ISBNs associated with this book: 0425171493 and
9780425171493. The book was published in 1999 by Berkley Mass Market in the
U.S.A. I understand that this book is the second in a series that features
needlework.
Here's the story line, without giving away too much. When a large boat that
was retired and sunk 50 years ago is raised for restoration, a skeleton is
discovered below the deck. Nearby is a handkerchief trimmed with a
lace-like fabric. The mysterious lace is identified as bobbin lace and
investigation begins to find out who made bobbin lace in the area at that
time. In helping to solve this crime, the heroine and owner of the local
stitchery and needlcraft store learns about bobbin lace. There are many
clues to be considered, but could the maker of the bobbin lace be the
murderer!
The book is a quick and easy read and it is unusual to read about bobbin
lace in this context.
