Today I'm linking up with Carole from Carole's Random Life of Books for Books from the Backlog. I really enjoy the chance to feature a book that's been hiding in the piles of books for far too long!
Blurb: To solve her father's murder and save the family-owned glass shop, Savannah Webb must shatter a killer's carefully constructed façade. . .
After Savannah's father dies unexpectedly of a heart attack, she drops everything to return home to St. Petersburg, Florida, to settle his affairs--including the fate of the beloved, family-owned glass shop. Savannah intends to hand over ownership to her father's trusted assistant and fellow glass expert, Hugh Trevor, but soon discovers the master craftsman also dead of an apparent heart attack.
As if the coincidence of the two deaths wasn't suspicious enough, Savannah discovers a note her father left for her in his shop, warning her that she is in danger. With the local police unconvinced, it's up to Savannah to piece together the encoded clues left behind by her father. And when her father's apprentice is accused of the murders, Savannah is more desperate than ever to crack the case before the killer seizes a window of opportunity to cut her out of the picture. . .

Why It Needs to Come Off The Shelf - I read a later book in this series and enjoyed it but felt like it would be better if I had read the first book. So I bought the first book and of course completely forgot about it.
Cozy mystery titles always make me LOL. Good to know that tidbit where you feel reading from the beginning would help.
ReplyDeleteThis first book actually sounds really good and it would put the rest of the series in place for you.
ReplyDeleteYet another series I've been wanting to get around to reading. I haven't had a chance yet, but it's on my list.
ReplyDeleteI have this whole series on audiobook and never listened too it! So bad!
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of this one! A great cozy mystery.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how I will acquire books and then forget about them.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds fun! I haven't tried this particular series.
