I found this book very, very predictable. The story was good and I enjoyed reading about the ladies of the Hook & Needle club trying to figure out the mystery of who the lady in the cross stitch was but I knew from the 4th chapter and not because I'm super clever. Later on in the book as I was wondering WHY Stella was acting the way she was, especially in regards to the cross stitch and talking about Betsy, I figured that out too but hoped I was wrong. Nope. It isn't a bad book but it isn't that big of a mystery.
