A SHATTERING CRIME
Book 3 in the Stained-Glass Mysteries
by Jennifer McAndrews
It’s death by Danish in the newest mystery from the national bestselling author of Death Under Glass, featuring stained-glass enthusiast and amateur sleuth Georgia Kelly.
Life in Wenwood, New York, sparkles for Georgia, but for one of her neighbors, it’s about to lose its luster...
Georgia’s day-to-day routine finally seems to be lining up. Stained-glass projects in the morning, clerical work for a law office in the afternoon, and waitressing in the evening. Best of all she gets to spend relaxing Sundays with her new boyfriend. But that comfortable pattern is about to be broken.
First Georgia’s cat goes into heat and literally disturbs the peace. Then Georgia’s mother drops in for a visit with her new husband in tow. But everything falls to pieces after a local activist is found dead from a poisoned danish. Authorities quickly put the heat on Rozelle, owner of the local bakery, but no one in town believes Rozelle capable of murder. Now it’s up to Georgia to crack the case and foil the real killer’s plans before the tranquility of Wenwood is shattered.

MY REVIEW
A sparkling addition to the Stained-Glass Mysteries!
Author Jennifer McAndrews has written another fabulous
installment to her colorful, National Bestselling cozy mystery series. I
finished this book in almost one setting. I didn’t want to put it down!
A SHATTERING CRIME is a wonderful mix of mystery, intrigue,
and humor. I really like protagonist, Georgia Kelly. The story is from her
point of view, and she say and thinks some of the funniest things! I laughed
out loud a few times. As for the mystery aspect, it was extremely well thought
out. There were just enough twists in the story, without weighing it down, to
keep me guessing until the end.
You’re going to want to add
A SHATTERING CRIME to your reading list!

MY REVIEW
Author Isabella Alan has stitched together a wonderfully
crafty mystery!
MURDER, HANDCRAFTED, the fifth installment of the Amish
Quilt Shop Mysteries, is one of the best of this series so far. It’s a mystery
that will really hold your attention.
I’m loving the many Amish mysteries on the market these
days, and this series is just one example why. With so many likeable
characters, and a delightful setting, readers will find themselves want to move
to Holmes Country, Rolling Brook, Ohio. I know I’m ready to pack my bags!
A perfect combination of mayhem, and mystery, with some
great action, MURDER, HANDCRAFTED is a fast moving story that kept getting better
with every chapter! Simply a fantastic whodunit.
Check out the back of the book for great quilting tips, and

MY REVIEW
Another wonderful installment to the bestselling Booktown
Mysteries!
I was a bit hesitant when I first started reading TITLE
WAVE. I don’t normally care for books that take the main character away from their
hometown. I needn’t have worried. Author Lorna Barrett transitioned her protagonist
and friends perfectly. The cruise ship themed story made for a marvelous
whodunit!
A tale of murder on the high seas, TITLE WAVE was a fast
moving thrill ride. Chapter after chapter this story was filled with enough
twists and turns to capsize a ship. With more suspects then a few, I kept
second guessing myself on the killer’s identity. When the reveal came, I was
taken by surprise, and even more so at how that scene ended!
Booktown Mystery fans, and new readers alike are going to be
thrilled with TITLE WAVE!
Make sure not to miss the tasty recipes at the back of the
