Death by Killer Mop Doll by Lois Winston is the second book in “Anastasia Pollack Crafting” mystery series. Publisher: Midnight Ink, January 2012
Overdue bills and constant mother vs.
mother-in-law battles at home are bad enough. But crafts editor Anastasia
Pollack’s stress level is maxed out when she and her fellow American Woman
editors get roped into unpaid gigs for a revamped morning TV show. Before the
glue is dry on Anastasia’s mop dolls, morning TV turns crime drama when the
studio is trashed and the producer is murdered. Former co-hosts Vince and
Monica—sleazy D-list celebrities—stand out among a lengthy lineup of suspects,
all furious over the show’s new format. And Anastasia has no clue her snooping
has landed her directly in the killer’s unforgiving spotlight.
What a fun read! This is a well-crafted and fast-paced story that kept me laughing as the book progresses to its dramatic conclusion. Once again, Anastasia find a dead body with one of her craft tools nearby and now must outwit a killer before she becomes a victim of her own tools. I like this story as Anastasia deals with the drama that is her dysfunction family and trying to find a killer in her roundabout way to the amusement of this reader. With quirky and eccentric but lovable characters and witty and amusing dialogue, this was very enjoyable and I look forward to more adventures in this entertaining series.
