This review is from: Ghastly Glass (Renaissance Faire Mystery) (Kindle Edition)
Jessie is a lot of fun. I really enjoyed Wicked Weaves so decided to give this one a try too.
Jessie is a college professor working on a paper about crafts during the renaissance, and she's learning them as she goes by apprenticing to different craftspeople at a renaissance village which is like an ongoing permanent faire. She's 6 foot tall, doesn't like to be called girl and can't resist a challenge. In this book, she's apprenticed to a very cranky glassblower with a son who thinks he's a gift to all women, it's Halloween in the village, and everyone has to go along with it, dressing the part as witches or wraiths. When Death turns up dead and strange graffiti starts turning up everywhere in the village, everybody is on edge. Then it starts to look like Jessie and her boss are being targeted by the killer, and to make matters worse, the police are threatening to shut down the village. Jessie is a great character, she's smart and strong, but clumsy and more than a bit neurotic. Her bf, the very stable and handsome baliff of the village is trying to solve the crime, and Jessie is as well. At times, it's laugh out loud funny as Jessie winds up in one ridiculous situation after another. It's just a great escapist cozy mystery read.

A fine Renaissance Faire mystery,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ghastly Glass (Renaissance Faire Mystery) (Mass Market Paperback)
Joyce and Jim Lavene's GHASTLY GLASS provides a fine Renaissance Faire mystery including Renaissance recipes and facts as it tells of Jesse, facing a crabby boss, boyfriend problems, and a real murder affecting the man playing the Grim Reaper. A fine pick for lending libraries strong in murder mysteries.

Loved this Renaissance themed mystery!,
This review is from: Ghastly Glass (Renaissance Faire Mystery) (Mass Market Paperback)
I was really surprised at how much I loved this book. I love the renaissance theme. The new plot had the faire made up for Halloween. With pirates, zombies, ghosts and even, "Death". Jessie and her boyfriend Chase, have a full time job trying out who harmed who, in this mystery. Jessie learns all about glass blowing, which was really interesting to me. I can honestly say.. read this cozy mystery.
I really liked the characters and the crazy pirates who kept me in stitches. Banshee and all. The first book in this series was called, "Wicked Weaves". This book to me, was even better than the first book. I am so glad I took a chance and read the Lavene's second mystery. They redeemed my faith in their story ability. Kudos to them both.
