Fiction. Mystery. HTML:

A debut mystery featuring innovative crafts projects

When Anastasia Pollack's husband permanently cashes in his chips at a roulette table in Vegas, her comfortable middle-class life is suddenly kaput. She's left with two teenage sons, a mountain of debt, and her hateful, cane-wielding Communist motherin-law. Not to mention stunned disbelief over her late husband's secret gambling addiction, and the loan shark who's demanding fifty thousand dollars.

Anastasia's job as crafts editor for a magazine proves no respite when she discovers a dead body glued to her office chair. The victim, fashion editor Marlys Vandenburg, collected enemies and ex-lovers like Jimmy Choos on her ruthless climb to editor-in-chief.But when evidence surfaces of an illicit affair between Marlys and Anastasia's husband, Anastasia becomes the number one suspect.

Fun quick read! ( )

Light humorous mystery - who killed off Anastasia's co-worker with the glue gun? Pay attention to the running name gags, and the dysfunctional family - and of course, Anastasia is cleared in the end and the real killer goes to jail. ( )

Cheating, lying, gambling, aging hunk husband dies leaving wife with no money, gambled away savings, retirement and college funds.

This is a cozy mystery without the over-the-top eccentrics that some authors create to meet the definition of a cozy. The flow is very relaxed yet moves forward without pauses for the "canned" laughter. The characters are identifiable particularly the "heroine" wife who occasionally faked an orgasm to allow for the extra sleeping time, who is slightly overweight and is pushing into her 40's.

An enjoyable read. ( )

This looks like this could be a very cute series. I like the fact that there are crafts in general for a change.

Anastasia’s husband sets the ball rolling by falling in his chips. He then leaves behind 2 teenage sons his lovely Communist mother and debt for Anastasia to have to deal with. The debt wasn’t enough, there is a loan shark after her also. To make matters worse (as if they could get any worse) a co-worker Marlys Vanderburg is killed and glued gun to Anastasia’s office chair.

Anastasia becomes the first likely suspect, but their could be so many since Marlys does have her share of enemies. The antics that Anastasia has to go through to get to the killer keeps you reading to see what possibly could happen next.

I gave it 20%, but I was feeling no love for any of the characters and it was requiring too much suspension on disbelief. Really, a mother & daughter both widowed ( )
