Assistant professor Jessie Morton gets more than she
bargains for when she signs on as apprentice basket weaver
at the Myrtle Beach Renaissance Faire Village for the
summer. Having decided to go for her PhD with a
dissertation on the Proliferation of Medieval Crafts in
Modern Times, spending the summer in the village becomes
more than fun and research, especially after a body is
found outside Wicked Weaves, with basket weaver Mary
Shift's signature sweetgrass weave twisted around his neck.
Jessie knows that Mary isn't a murderer, but in a world
where fact and fantasy, past and present blend seamlessly,
proving Mary's innocence is a job requiring all of Jessie's
intuitive abilities, and some help from her friends.
There's no shortage of suspects, and Jessie and her friends
must work quickly to discover the culprit before Mary is
locked up for real.
Joyce and Jim Lavene's WICKED WEAVES is a creative,
fascinating whodunit, transporting readers to a world of
make-believe that entertains and educates as they weave a
tale of mystery set in the world of the Renaissance faire.
This well-crafted story kept me guessing to the end.
First in the Renaissance Faire mystery series featuring
craft apprentice and sleuth Jessie Morton.
INCLUDES RENAISSANCE RECIPES AND FUN FACTS!
Assistant professor Jessie Morton spends her
summers at the Renaissance Village honing her skills and
finding the lady, lord, or serf whodunnit.
This
summer Jessie is the apprentice to Mary Shift, a basket-
maker with a dark past as well as incredible weaving
skills. One day a man is bid a deadly fare-thee-well with
Mary’s signature weave around his neck. It’s up to Jessie
to spring Mary from the stocks of the Myrtle Beach police
station. Yet innocence is hard to prove in a place where
there’s a fine line between reality and good theater—and
history is bound to repeat itself.
