Crafty Girls Cozy Mysteries #1Cookies and Catastrophes
Juliet Marino, the least crafty girl in her Crafty Girls Club, is determined to enter something---anything---into the Weaverton City Fair. But Juliet is a chef-in-training, and the fair doesn't have a category for best spaghetti sauce or bruschetta toppings. Juliet and her mother turn to an heirloom family recipe book for ideas. Cookies seem easy enough but when her more experienced mom is whisked away for a family emergency, Juliet is left to seek the help of her well-meaning, but not so helpful, neighbors, and she discovers that baking isn't as simple as it seems.
No matter how many times she follows the old, handwritten recipe, the cookies are a catastrophe. They come out burnt, flat, or just plain wrong, and sadly, no one, not even her crafty friends, can figure out why. With time and ingredients running out, Juliet must uncover the truth about her cookies, her friends, and her own ability to keep trying, discovering a little kitchen chemistry along the way. Can she crack the cookie code before it's too late-or will her determination crumble under pressure?
A warm, hopeful, heartfelt mystery about not giving up and finding your place, one batch at a time.
Crafty Girls Cozy Mysteries #2Knittings And Knockings
Rosa Cortez has untangled a lot of knots in her life, but nothing as frustrating as the mystery next door. She keeps hearing and seeing suspicious sounds and lights at the Old McLurvey house, empty now for the last two years. Every time Rosa and her friends investigate, the answers roll out of reach like a loose yarn ball.
It doesn’t help things that her own home is bursting at the seams, stuffed with siblings, parents, grandparents, and more. But when she meets Daisy, the cousin to another Crafty Girl on Hobby Lane, with ten siblings herself, Rosa doesn’t feel so small anymore. She longs to connect with Daisy but Daisy lives too far away.
If only Rosa and her crafty friends could tie up the loose ends next door and find a way for Daisy to join their club. Can Rosa and the Crafty Girls follow the trail of dropped stitches to unravel the secrets of the McLurvey house? Can Rosa find her spot in a crowded, cozy family?
A new Crafty Girls Cozy Mystery as chilling as an autumn wind and a solution as comfy as knitted scarves and warm tamales.
