Search - Wreath of Deception (Craft Corner, Bk 1)

This started out great, but bogged down about half way through. The story didn't have the momentum needed to keep the plot going, the tension a good mystery needs to keep the reader hooked or the character strength needed to make you feel connected to their lives. The author did pull it together somewhat with the last few chapters, adding some much needed tension, but it wasn't enough to redeem the story completely. The main flaw, I think, is that the murderer was very obvious from the start so there was never any wondering who it was and how it would turn out. Too bad as it could of been a great read, but ended up being a lackluster one instead.

I found this book to be a very good start on a new series. This cozy reminded me of Monica Ferris' Needlework series. A good story line, she's developing her characters well, and the main character is not one of those "I could hear breathing down in the dark cellar, I knew I shouldn't go down there, but I couldn't help myself....." types. :)

A little slow at the beginning but picked up half way through. I liked that I did not suspect the "killer" til just bout when the main character did!

Nice start to a good series of mysteries. Never heard of the writer before but she is very good and keeps you reading and before you know it, the book is finished leaving you wanting more and more of this series. You will enjoy it and the others to come.

Great first book, good read. Interesting sub characters, they should get better all the time. Cozy read.

Fun read. The pace is great doesn't leave you time to get bored. Keeps you quessing. Then still makes you jump even after you've figured it out.
