After inheriting a house in Seattle, Jax O’Connell is living the life of her dreams as a glass bead maker and jewelry designer. When she gets an offer to display her work during a bead shop’s opening festivities, it’s an opportunity Jax can’t resist – even though the store’s owner is the surliest person Jax has ever met. The weekend’s events become a tangled mess when a young bead maker is found dead nearby and several oddball bead enthusiasts are suspects. Jax must string together the clues to clear her friend Tessa’s name – and do it before the killer strikes again.
A catchy title A great weekend read when you’re ready for relaxation. The people in story have you ready for next bookIn the series. They keep all locations real to life if you know anything about the locations.
Fair Too much discussion of beading. Effected the flow of the story. Plot was not bad but a bit erratic. More effort needed to develop characters and back story. Pretty much read like she was following a checklist for the trope.
Crazy bead ladies and mysteries An interesting mystery with a fun heroine following her dreams (with a nudge from her deceased aunt) and her crazy bead lady & gentleman friends.Â
