Synopsis
Anastasia Pollack’s son Alex is dating Sophie Lambert, the new kid in town. For their community service project, the high school seniors have chosen to raise money for the county food bank. Anastasia taps her craft industry contacts to donate materials for the students to make Christmas ornaments they’ll sell at the town’s annual Holiday Crafts Fair.
At the fair Anastasia meets Sophie’s father, Shane Lambert, who strikes her as a man with secrets. She also notices a woman eavesdropping on their conversation. Later that evening when the woman turns up dead, Sophie’s father is arrested for her murder.
Alex and Sophie beg Anastasia to find the real killer, but Anastasia has had her fill of dead bodies. She’s also not convinced of Shane’s innocence. Besides, she’s promised younger son Nick she’ll stop risking her life. But how can she say no to Alex?

A tempting series! Especially as they look quite short – meaning catching up wouldn’t be too overwhelming considering there’s so many of them out already 😁
I like that too sometimes. Being shorter, it’s easier to catch up. And this is a new one for me:)
Hi, Sassy Brit! Each of the books in the series is around 300 pages or less. So yes, they are fairly quick reads. I hope you’ll give them a try.
I’m a crafter, and I love Christmas. I feel like Lois’s book was written just for me!
I used to make my own Christmas decorations. A different theme each year. Now I’m so busy I don’t have time for it. I miss that:)
Priscilla, sounds like I had you in mind! Each book in the series features a different type of craft, and most are easy to do, even for novice crafters. The one exception would be the knit and crochet projects in A Stitch to Die For, but even those feature projects with beginner knitters and crocheters in mind.
Thank you for featuring Drop Dead Ornaments today on your blog.
It’s my pleasure. I hope you tour is a smashing success:)
Ornaments…oh no.
