Book Description
A bead bazaar turns bizarre when jewelry designer and glass beadmaker Jax O’Connell discovers a dead body beneath her sales table. Suspected of murder, Jax and her friend Tessa scramble to find the killer among the fanatic shoppers and eccentric vendors. They have their hands full dealing with a scumbag show promoter, hipsters in love, and a security guard who wants to do more than protect Jax from harm. Adding to the chaos, Jax’s quirky neighbor Val arrives unexpectedly with trouble in tow. Can Jax untangle the clues before she’s arrested for murder?
A Bead in the Hand is the second book in the Glass Bead Mystery series.
About the Author
Janice Peacock decided to write her
first mystery novel after working in a glass studio full of colorful
artists who didn’t always get along. They reminded her of the odd, and
often humorous, characters in the murder mystery books she loved to
read. Inspired by that experience, she combined her two passions and
wrote High Strung: A Glass Bead Mystery, the first book in a new cozy
mystery series featuring glass beadmaker Jax O’Connell.
When Janice Peacock isn’t writing about
glass artists who are amateur detectives, she makes glass beads using a
torch, designs one-of-a-kind jewelry, and makes sculptures using hot
glass. An award-winning artist, her work has been exhibited
internationally and is in the permanent collections of several museums.
She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, three cats,
and seven chickens. She has a studio full of beads…lots and lots of
beads.

My Review
A Bead in the Hand is the second book in the Glass Bead mystery series. I enjoyed the first book in the series, High Strung, and I enjoyed A Bead in the Hand as well.
Jax, our main character, is once again embroiled in a murder mystery. There are many familiar characters from the first book. I think I enjoyed this one a little better than the first. I am very glad to have a series centered around glass beads. It will help people understand how much work and artistry goes into the making of glass beads. I enjoyed the bead bazaar setting. I love a good bead bazaar!
Great story filled with interesting characters and most of all beads. I recommend this page turner of a cozy mystery. A Bead in the Hand is a great read.
Be sure to grab these deals:

Hi everyone! I'm happy to answer questions, so just post them here and I'll check back.
ReplyDeleteHi Janice! I love your books!
ReplyDeleteI have a question: When you start a book, do you have all the characters in place and an ending planned, or does it come to you as you write?
