Lois Meade has done enough buffing and polishing over the years with her cleaning business, New Brooms, to know that all that glitters is not gold. So when a bag of costume jewellery is the main clue in a murder, she has a strong suspicion that appearances may be deceiving… After a woman is discovered in the Mill House Hotel, strangled with a silver necklace beside a bag filled with faux silver, gold and pearls, costume jewelry dealer Donald Black seems like the obvious suspect. But Lois knows Donald's wife, who runs a baker’s shop near the hotel, and can’t believe her husband could be a killer. Plus, Donald has an airtight alibi. Nevertheless, Donald is no angel. It appears he’s running a pyramid scheme, and Lois’s mother is getting sucked in. Could the murder have anything to do with his unscrupulous business practices? As Inspector Cowgill and Lois hope the bling may shine a light on the killer, the discovery of a second body on the old waterwheel in the hotel may be grist for the mill in solving the murder—if they can manage to catch the culprit without getting the runaround.
The plot to your book sounds intriguing, and I can't wait to hunker down and read it!! This will make good reading for the upcoming Winter!! The cover is absolutely adorable as well, and I'm sure your book will do very well!! I hope that you have a wonderful and blessed Christmas, and thank you for a very nice posting from your past!! I can smell my late Mother's bread baking sometimes, as well, and hope to try making it sometime soon, when I get the nerve to try it!! (Peggy Roberson 8:34am December 2, 2014)
