To Bead or Not to Bead: A Humorous Cozy Mystery (Glass Bead Mystery Series Book 4)
By Janice Peacock
When a glass chandelier crashes to the ground and kills a wealthy theater owner, Jax and Tessa must find the culprit before their lives are shattered.
When a wealthy theater owner is killed by a falling art glass chandelier, glass beadmaker Jax O’Connell’s boyfriend, Detective Zachary Grant, quickly determines it was no accident. Jax and her friend Tessa try to carry on with a charity fashion gala at the theater, but with only a few days before the big event, they have to scramble to keep things from falling apart. The emcee quits, and to make matters worse, Tessa’s daughters are suspects in the murder. As the chaos unfolds, Jax discovers new suspects at every turn, including an edgy glass blower, an agoraphobic socialite, and a hunky former-cop-turned-actor.
Can Jax piece together the clues to find the killer and uncover the dark secrets behind the victim’s family or will it be curtains for her? Buy To Bead or Not to Bead today to find out!
