Anastasia Pollack’s son Alex is dating Sophie Lambert, the new kid in town. For their community service project, the high school seniors have chosen to raise money for the county food bank. Anastasia taps her craft industry contacts to donate materials for the students to make Christmas ornaments they’ll sell at the town’s annual Holiday Crafts Fair.
At the fair Anastasia meets Sophie’s father, Shane Lambert, who strikes her as a man with secrets. She also notices a woman eavesdropping on their conversation. Later that evening when the woman turns up dead, Sophie’s father is arrested for her murder.
Alex and Sophie beg Anastasia to find the real killer, but Anastasia has had her fill of dead bodies. She’s also not convinced of Shane’s innocence. Besides, she’s promised younger son Nick she’ll stop risking her life. But how can she say no to Alex?
My review of Drop Dead Ornaments
There are plenty of chuckles in this classic cozy. From the strong female protagonist to the obnoxious detective and her mysterious boyfriend, the cast of supporting characters all contribute to a fine blend of tension and humor that keeps this cozy moving along at a nice clip.
Secrets and mystery are the watchwords for this one because each supporting character seems to have a secret buried away in a closet. The storyline also has plenty of clues and red herrings to keep readers on their toes. Despite Anastasia’s best efforts to stay out of the murder investigation, she’s drawn in and finds herself compelled to bring the killer to justice.
Drop Dead Ornaments is also available as part of the Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mysteries Books 7-8 box set. Learn more about Lois Winston at loiswinston.com. Want more author news? If so, click here to read more Behind the Story interviews from your favorite authors.
