The first mystery in this sunny series set in Florida "will keep you guessing to the end" (Krista Davis, New York Times bestselling author).

To solve her father's murder and save the family-owned glass shop, Savannah Webb must shatter a killer's carefully constructed façade . . .

After Savannah's father dies unexpectedly of a heart attack, she drops everything to return home to St. Petersburg, Florida, to settle his affairsâ??including the fate of the beloved, family-owned glass shop. Savannah intends to hand over ownership to her father's trusted assistant and fellow glass expert, Hugh Trevor, but soon discovers the master craftsman also dead of an apparent heart attack.

As if the coincidence of the two deaths wasn't suspicious enough, Savannah discovers a note her father left for her in his shop, warning her that she is in danger. With the local police unconvinced, it's up to Savannah to piece together the encoded clues left behind by her father. And when her father's apprentice is accused of the murders, Savannah is more desperate than ever to crack the case before the killer seizes a window of opportunity to cut her out of the picture . . .

"Cheryl Hollon clearly knows her glass craft, but better still, she also knows how to craft a good mystery." â??Sheila Connolly, New York Times bestselling author

"There's plenty of variety and not just workbenches in the lively story by Cheryl Hollon." â??Fresh Fiction

"Webb's Glass Shop is certainly a place where you'd want to hang out." â??Kings River Life Mag

Savannah returns to St. Petersburg after the death of her father. As she tries to wrap up her father's affairs, his business partner is found dead. Savannah suspects both were murdered, but has a hard time convincing the police. She decides to investigate for herself, while at the same time running her father's glass shop.

So the mystery was interesting, and the characters were engaging. I felt I learned a lot about making stained glass, and it seems like the author really knew what she was talking about.

My biggest complaint with this book was the actions of the lead detective. One of the detectives in his squad is not well liked and not very competent in his job. The lead detective allows him to make a mistake in handling a witness who is a minor and also has Aspergers. All so he can fire him. Would a detective really put a child in danger in order to make another detective look bad? That point left a sour taste in my mouth.

I liked this book enough that I would read the next in the series.

I received a free review copy from The Cozy Mystery Review Crew in exchange for my honest review. ( )

I actually give this book 3.5 stars but rounded it up to 4. This is the first book in a new series, A Webb's Glass Shop Mystery, and it looks very promising.

Savanna Webb is a glass blowing artist from Seattle who returns to her home town of St. Petersburg Florida to bury her father and sell his glass shop to his partner, who she calls Uncle Hugh. Savannah is at the shop after the funeral waiting to meet Hugh before a Stained Glass Class and he does not show up. She starts to teach the class and discovers Hugh dead in the workroom. This is too much of a coincidence for Savannah and she is convinced that both her father and Hugh were murdered. With the help of another business owner, who may become a love interest, a boy with Aspergers and her new employee, they investigate the murders.

This is a great little cozy with a set of characters that will entertain readers for many books. There is a lot of great information on glassblowing and stained glass.

In future books, I hope that it is not as obvious who the culprit was. I figured it out early in the story and I am sure others will as well. Some of the scenes seemed to be filler as they did not add anything to the story, such as lunch with Frank at the Mexican Place. If those things are firmed up in the next book in the series, this will be a winner.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. ( )

So much ableism in the treatment of the autistic character. The kind where you can tell it's "nice" and "well-meaning" but in reality it's infantilizing. YMMV.

Great start for a new series. Enjoyed very much. ( )

I found this cozy mystery to be very entertaining! I have read several other cozy mystery series, but this series could become one of my favorites. I really enjoyed reading about the art of glass making. It was not a concept that I was familiar with. I found it very helpful that the author included a glossary for the glass making terms. I believe it helps the reader understand the concept better.

There were several characters that made a difference in the book. The main character, Savannah Webb, seemed very relatable because of the death of her father. She displayed her emotions in a sincere way and never gave up in searching for her father's killer.
Officer Boulli was the character that I was the least fond of. He did not believe Savannah from the beginning when she felt like there was foul play in the deaths. He was portrayed as being a jerk, and incompetent.
Detective Parker believed Savannah from the first doubt she had. He never made her feel as if she was crazy for feeling the way she did. He was on her side from the beginning. The detective was portrayed as a caring person, and appreciative of the effort from Savannah in trying to find the killer.
Overall, I found the characters in the book to be very believable and relatable.

The plot was very well thought out and kept me interested until the very last page. I will definitely be reading more from this author, starting with the other books in this series! ( )
