After her good friend Godwin has an unexpectedly nasty quarrel with his significant other, John, needlework shop owner and part-time sleuth, Betsy Devonshire finds herself with an unhappy roommate. But sadness turns to grief when Betsy and Godwin discover John dead in his home, and Godwin is arrested for the murders. Betsy knows her friend couldn't be the killer, and sets out to prove it. What she learns is that Jihn had a cat's cradle of secret dealings that made him a bundle of money and a lot of enemies - like his more-than-slightly homophobic brother, the law-firm boss who would stop John from getting a partnership at all costs, and the spurned lover whose shy demeanour may hide a sinister side.
