( ) bookswoman | Mar 31, 2013 | The last book I have in the Betsy Devonshire series, though I think there is one more and I'll be picking that up soonish, what with all the birthday Amazon vouchers... As one reviewer said, this is "less gripping" than some of the others, however I enjoyed the slightly slower and more expanded pace. A woman shows up in Excelsior who has a remarkable resemblance to one of Betsy's regular shoppers. When an elderly relative of the original woman dies, and the "secret twin" seems to stand to inherit, questions are raised all over the place, inside and outside the family. A good plot and while again I did guess whodunnit it was well done and a fun read. (  ) LyzzyBee | Jan 21, 2010 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Fiction.
Mystery.
HTML: When adoptee Lucille Jones comes to town researching her roots, Betsy Devonshire notices that she bears a remarkable resemblance to local Jan Henderson. Betsy introduces the look-alikes and they quickly hit it off. But then Jan's wealthy great-aunt is found dead. A stiff metal wire helped the elderly woman into her grave - a double-zero knitting needle, in fact. Just like the kind Jan knits with. Lucille begs Betsy to help clear her new friend's name. And while going through her aunt's effects, Jan finds an old pillow lined with an embroidered map of Lake Minnetonka. Betsy intends to follow the threads. Who knows - it could just possibly lead to buried treasure. Or, perhaps, to a secret that someone will kill to keep buried� Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Betsy's friend Jan's great aunt dies, leaving Jan quite a bit of money. Jan's the lead suspect in the murder, but also on the scene is Lucille Jones, an adoptee come to town to research her roots and a dead ringer for Jan and also stands to inherit. Coincidence, or obvious murderer?
This was a slower, more family-focused tale. I liked the characterization of adoption and the exploration of the consequences. (
