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.
In this fourth installment of the Anastasia Pollack Crafting
Mystery series, Anastasia and her fellow American Woman editors are
steaming mad when minutes before the opening of a consumer show,
they discover half their booth usurped by Bling , their publisher's
newest magazine. CEO Alfred Gruenwald is sporting new arm
candy-rapper-turned-entrepreneur and Bling executive editor, the
first-name-only Philomena. During the consumer show, Gruenwald's
wife serves Philomena with an alienation of affection lawsuit, but
Philomena doesn't live long enough to make an appearance in court.
She's found dead days later, stuffed in the shipping case that held
Anastasia's decoupage crafts. When Gruenwald makes cash-strapped
Anastasia an offer she can't refuse, she wonders, does he really
want to find Philomena's killer or is he harboring a hidden agenda?
When Anastasia Pollack's husband permanently cashes in his chips at
a roulette table in Vegas, her comfortable middle-class life craps
out. She's left with two teenage sons, a mountain of debt, and her
hateful, cane-wielding Communist mother-in-law. Not to mention
stunned disbelief over her late husband's secret gambling
addiction, and the loan shark who's demanding fifty thousand
dollars. Anastasia's job as crafts editor at American Woman
magazine proves no respite when she discovers a dead body glued to
her desk chair. The victim, fashion editor Marlys Vandenburg,
collected enemies and ex-lovers like Jimmy Choos on her ruthless
climb to editor-in-chief. But when evidence surfaces of an illicit
affair between Marlys and Anastasia's husband, Anastasia becomes
the prime suspect.
