 Interesting Story, 2008-09-01
Mary Hughes is getting more compexity into her stories with this novel. She keeps it interesting and generally fast moving which kept my interest. The story also gets more complex, which is also of interest to me. I think it was fun and interesting to read. Good job!

 A Marvelous Mystery, 2008-08-03
I loved Mary Ellen Hughes' latest mystery! I love how the characters are so realistic - I really learn to care about them. As I was reading the book, I was reluctant to put it down! I found myself thinking about the next twist in the plot. The humor is laced throughout the story and lightens serious moments at just the right time. I can't wait to see what happens in the next mystery Ms. Hughes writes!

A Nice Cozy Read, 2008-07-07
Summary
Seeking to expand her customer base, Jo McAllister enters the Michicomi Craft Fair. To her dismay, she finds her booth is immediately across the aisle from Linda Weeks, her former rival in the jewlery design business.
After a very public argument between Jo and Linda, Linda has a fatal allergic reaction to candies Jo delivered to Linda's booth. Soon, Jo is suspected of murder and must discover the identity of the true killer to clear her name and save Jo's Craft Store.
Kudos & Criticisms
Hughes does a nice job of moving the main action of this series from Jo's Craft Store to the Michicomi Craft Fair. It allows her to provide some variety in the series by using a set of interesting temporary characters. (I hope Gabe appears in the series again.)
Hughes' main focus is on the mystery. She introduces the murder within the first 20 pages and gives the reader spikes of suspense at just the right intervals with a just light twist of romance. The book is a fast read and moves along at a good pace.
My only minor criticism is that I knew "whodunit" within the first 70 pages--and I'm not usually good at guessing. So, either I'm getting better at reading clues or the mystery is obvious. Still, the book was so enjoyable, I read it from cover to cover.
I look forward to the next book in this series.
