My Review
I really loved the first book in this series and I was looking forward to read this one. It's even better than the previous one, The plot kept me on edge from start to finish.
Savannah Webb is the owner of Webb's Glass Shop. It was the shop of her father and she took it into management after his death. She's an artist in glass processing and decides to make some courses that had already programmed his father. She is chosen to replace his father as a judge at the Spinnaker Arts Festival. She's anxious and hopes to do her role in the best way. But the girl who has chosen as winner doesn't show up to accept the award. The next morning, while she is jogging with her dog, she founds the body of the winner on the beach. Savannah was the lastest to talk to her, she have not an alibi and has found the body. She's definitely one of the main indicted. She must investigate and find the culprit before the police accuses her of murder.
The characters are warm and likeable, so well described that I feel I know them. Savannah is a strong and determined woman, despite the many difficulties she encounters, never gives up. She loves her father and tries in every way to honor his name. She's a great artist, very smart and has a great intuition. Her collaborator Amanda is really funny. And Edward is a man to be discovered: will he be the soul mate of Savannah?
The plot is well developed and very intriguing, I enjoyed solving the mystery. The techniques and the creations of glass processing during the novel are very attractive, make it a most enjoyable and interesting read.
I hope to read soon a new adventure of Savannah and her friend.
