Book Description:
Recently widowed, Jo McAllister is setting up shop in Abbotsville, Maryland. She hopes Jo’s Craft Corner will take her mind off her troubles. But no town is too small for secrets, scandal—even murder... It’s opening day at Jo’s Craft Corner, and Jo is more tightly wired than the wreath on her store’s front door. The entertainment she’s hired, Cuddles the Clown, won’t stop complaining, and Jo is about to strangle the grumbler in grease paint. But then, to her horror, she finds someone else has silenced him— for good. With a dead clown in her storeroom, Jo is the prime suspect. So she sets out to clear her name, only to find that a crafty killer wants to stamp her out of existence...
Includes directions for a craft project and a recipe!

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!

This is the first in a new series. I liked the setting and the characters and it kept me guessing until the very end.
