This one was interesting right until the end. Besty is at her best when trying to prove someone didn't do it. She gets the perfect job from Foster Johns whom everyone in Excelsior believes murdered his mistress and her husband. Jealousy, appearances and a little bit of gossip go a long way.

This is a very good read. It's not a typical mystery, but well worth it.

A smidgen of mystery buried in product placement: brand name patterns over and over, brand name floss over and over, brand name yarn over and over, ad after ad.
**************************
Domestic violence in the Twin Cities area in the 21st century and no one questions why she didn't go to the police or a shelter?
In 1994, Congress enacted the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (VAWA) as part of the Violence Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act.
Minnesota Center Against Violence and Abuse founded in 2000.
Search easily finds several shelters in Twin Cities area.
This is the second book I've read in the series that deals with domestic violence with no recognition that laws, protections and attitudes have changed.
