Will they catch the crafty criminal? Everyone in Pheasant Valley hates Buck Wilson. His wife. His girlfriend. And his next-door neighbor, Ella Denning, whose husband was killed by Buck in a drunk-driving accident. Ella, owner of the Bee’s Knees crafter’s outlet, is overjoyed when long-time friend Shelby Heaton returns to the small mountain town to heal from a broken relationship. Ella opens her heart and home to Shelby, but their happiness is short-lived when Buck turns up dead in the cemetery behind Ella’s house. Coincidence? Or simply bad luck for Buck? Several quirky townspeople are suspect, but when each comes up with a well-crafted alibi, all fingers point to Ella. Can amateur sleuth Shelby piece together clues and prove her friend’s innocence before they find another victim? Crafty Alibis, a story of frayed trust and mended friendship, will keep you guessing until the end.

However, within hours of landing in Europe, she finds herself staring down the barrel of a gun and needing to convince a Spanish crime syndicate they’ve got the wrong person. Why do people on both sides of the Atlantic keep trying to kill this pear-shaped, middle-aged single mom, and magazine crafts editor? Patchwork Peril After rescuing her elderly neighbor Rosalie’s quilts from a rainstorm, crafts editor Anastasia Pollack discovers Rosalie unconscious at the bottom of her basement stairs. Rosalie’s estranged niece Jane arrives to care for her during her recovery, but Rosalie suspects Jane’s motives are less than altruistic, going so far as to accuse Jane of trying to kill her. Is Rosalie’s paranoia a result of her head injury, or is there something more to her accusations? And can Anastasia uncover the truth before it’s too late?
