Death by Killer Mop Doll

by Lois Winston

Overview

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.

Editorial Reviews

"Several crafts projects, oodles of laughs and an older, more centered version of Stephanie Plum."

Kirkus Reviews - Kirkus Reviewer

"...a 30 Rock vibe...Winston turns out another lighthearted amateur sleuth investigation. Laden with one-liners, Anastasia's second outing (after Assault With a Deadly Glue Gun) points to another successful series in the works."

Library Journal - Library Journal Reviewer

"Winston...plays for plenty of laughs...while letting Anastasia shine as a risk-taking investigator who doesn't always know when to quit."

Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine - AHMM Reviewer

"Anastasia is a crafting Stephanie Plum, surrounded by characters sure to bring chuckles as she careens through the narrative, crossing paths with the detectives assigned to the case and snooping around to solve it."

Booklist - Booklist Reviewer

"In Winston's droll second cozy featuring crafts magazine editor Anastasia Pollack... readers who relish the offbeat will be rewarded."
