After three months of living in
Wenwood, New York Georgia Kelly is still trying to decide
if she wants to stay there and make a go of it. She's been
living with her grandfather, so expenses are low, but if she
stays for good, she'll have to make some money. Selling her
custom-made stained glass windows has been hit or miss, but
she's been given the chance to make a window for the new bed
and breakfast in town, “Magnolia Bed and Breakfast.”
Yet her best friend Carrie Stanford has trouble. Big trouble.
Carrie's ex-husband's law office has been hit by an arsonist
and then Carrie's own shop is tossed. Georgia makes it her
mission to get to the bottom of things before anything else
happens to Carrie. Before answers can be found, Herb Gallo,
Russ Stanford's legal partner is murdered, and the situation
has been even more dire. Who is behind these evil deeds and
why? When Carrie's apartment is vandalized, it's time to step
up the action and protect her dear friend.
Author Jennifer McAndrews continues to develop the characters
in this new series by drawing readers deeper into their varied
relationships. The friendship between Georgia and Carrie is
a strong one, and this time out, Georgia is the friend in
deed and Carrie the friend in need. Georgia is also given
not one, but two romantic interests! It's also good to watch
the changes going on around Wenwood as it struggles with economic
woes and the town tries to decide how best to proceed to bring
families back to live in town by providing jobs, as well as
setting up new shops and restaurants for tourists.
This is a carefully plotted book, with enough suspects and
possible motives to keep readers guessing throughout the book.
I always enjoy a cozy with an animal or two mixed in, and
Friday the cat is a new favorite of mine. There's also a dog
introduced in this book, and he is adorably pictured on the
cover. I'm delighted to say that this page turner ended exactly
as I had hoped it would, and I will be eagerly awaiting the
next installment.
I highly recommend Death Under Glass to cozy lovers
in search of a new series. The first book, Ill- Gotten
Panes, is the first book, and you could easily enough
both books as beach reads, hammock reads, or book club reads
this summer.
