By: Janice Peacock

Narrated by: Mary Ann Jacobs

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.

Easy Listening

The ability to just listen and enjoy is worth it to me. I liked the characters and the storyline.

Fabulous storyline

Wonderful quirky characters. Good descriptions of all the players which made it an entertaining story to follow.
Looking forward to reading more of her work.

Interesting characters

I listened to the Audible version of this book. Very good narrator both in voice and the way she narrates. The plot moved along well, the characters had interesting personalities, the bead descriptions sounded like they were beautiful and unusual. I would like to see some artisan bead jewelry. The plot kept me interested from start to finish. I will read more if there are more. Nice cosy, easy mystery to enjoy.

Excellent!

I love to make beaded jewelry! Which is why this book appealed to me. That being said, this was a well written story with several twists and turns. The characters were great and unlike some themed mysteries were well developed and actually reminded me of people I know. I enjoyed the performance, and listened to it in one day!! I look forward to the next book!!

A slow start.

I almost didn't finish. The beginning was too slow. I'm glad I hung in there. It got better as it progressed.
