Crewel World by Monica Ferris

3.0

This is a solid cozy mystery. The mystery itself is interesting and not completely straightforward, which as a person who has read way too many mysteries, I appreciated. There were a few things that annoyed me about it thought. The book is dated. Of course, it was published in 1999, but you could really tell in the way the characters talked to and about each other, let alone the use of phone books, lack of cell phones, etc. I also didn't love the implied disdain for Betsy's love of food and her weight at the beginning. It felt insulting as a plus sized reader. Especially when Hud said he liked bigger women but only when no one was watching...
