Inhaltsangabe

After finding a body in an alley behind a bead shop, Jax must string together the clues to find the killer before she winds up dead.

Jax O’Connell is looking forward to exhibiting her jewelry and being part of the grand opening festivities at a bead shop in Seattle. After an unexpected guest arrives with her misbehaving dog in tow, and Jax’s catnip-addicted cat goes missing, the weekend isn’t shaping up as planned. Things go from bad to worse when a dead body turns up in the alley behind the bead shop.
While several oddball bead enthusiasts are possible culprits, and Jax’s best friend Tessa is at the top of the list of suspects. Zachary Grant, a stern yet sexy homicide detective, thinks it’s an open and shut case, but Jax knows Tessa is innocent. As Jax and Tessa search for the killer, they discover that stringing together clues is more complicated than stringing together beads.
If you enjoy fast-paced, light-hearted mysteries full of quirky friends who help each other when it matters most, you’ll love High Strung.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Janice Peacock decided to write her first mystery novel after working in a glass studio full of colorful artists who didn't always get along. They reminded her of the quirky and often humorous characters in the murder mystery books she loves to read. Inspired by that experience, she combined her two passions and wrote High Strung, the first book in the Glass Bead Mystery Series featuring glass beadmaker Jax O'Connell. Janice has continued the series with A Bead in the Hand, and Be Still My Beading Heart, and Off the Beadin' Path. When she isn't writing about glass artists-turned-amateur-detectives, she makes glass beads using a torch, designs one-of-a-kind jewelry, and makes sculptures using hot glass. Her work has been exhibited internationally and is in the permanent collections of the Corning Museum of Glass, the Glass Museum of Tacoma, WA, and in private collections worldwide. Janice lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, two cats, and an undisclosed number chickens. She has a studio full of beads...lots and lots of beads.
