Chargement... Pane and Sufferingpar Cheryl Hollon
   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  readingover50 | Jun 11, 2019 |   Savanna Webb is a glass blowing artist from Seattle who returns to her home town of St. Petersburg Florida to bury her father and sell his glass shop to his partner, who she calls Uncle Hugh. Savannah is at the shop after the funeral waiting to meet Hugh before a Stained Glass Class and he does not show up. She starts to teach the class and discovers Hugh dead in the workroom. This is too much of a coincidence for Savannah and she is convinced that both her father and Hugh were murdered. With the help of another business owner, who may become a love interest, a boy with Aspergers and her new employee, they investigate the murders. This is a great little cozy with a set of characters that will entertain readers for many books. There is a lot of great information on glassblowing and stained glass. In future books, I hope that it is not as obvious who the culprit was. I figured it out early in the story and I am sure others will as well. Some of the scenes seemed to be filler as they did not add anything to the story, such as lunch with Frank at the Mexican Place. If those things are firmed up in the next book in the series, this will be a winner. I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. (  ) Carlathelibrarian | Feb 5, 2019 | tldegray | Sep 21, 2018 |  ) nlb1050 | Aug 18, 2018 | There were several characters that made a difference in the book. The main character, Savannah Webb, seemed very relatable because of the death of her father. She displayed her emotions in a sincere way and never gave up in searching for her father's killer. Officer Boulli was the character that I was the least fond of. He did not believe Savannah from the beginning when she felt like there was foul play in the deaths. He was portrayed as being a jerk, and incompetent. Detective Parker believed Savannah from the first doubt she had. He never made her feel as if she was crazy for feeling the way she did. He was on her side from the beginning. The detective was portrayed as a caring person, and appreciative of the effort from Savannah in trying to find the killer. Overall, I found the characters in the book to be very believable and relatable. The plot was very well thought out and kept me interested until the very last page. I will definitely be reading more from this author, starting with the other books in this series! ( ) NikkiK94 | Mar 21, 2018 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique

So the mystery was interesting, and the characters were engaging. I felt I learned a lot about making stained glass, and it seems like the author really knew what she was talking about.
My biggest complaint with this book was the actions of the lead detective. One of the detectives in his squad is not well liked and not very competent in his job. The lead detective allows him to make a mistake in handling a witness who is a minor and also has Aspergers. All so he can fire him. Would a detective really put a child in danger in order to make another detective look bad? That point left a sour taste in my mouth.
I liked this book enough that I would read the next in the series.
