Jo's Craft Corner is finally starting to show signs of success.  But then she hears of a local developer's plans that could put her out of business.  When she tries to get the real story, she finds the developer dead - the victim of a murderous trap - and Jo's good friend Dan under suspicion.  Can Jo and her fellow crafters follow the chain of lies to unknot this crime - before the murderer pulls any more deadly strings?

Craft tips and a beading project included!

What have people been saying about Wreath of Deception, the first of my Craft Corner mystery series? Check it out:

Romantic Times, Oct. 2006
"Readers will want to fire up their glue guns and join the goings-on at Jo's Craft Corner. There's wreath-making, stamping--and murder investigation 101. Jo may be an amateur, but the supportive women in her classes are going to keep you turning the pages. Hughes launches her series with a feisty, likable heroine and a savvy group of craft hounds."

Mystery News - December/January 2007
"This was an excellent debut in a planned series subtitled the Craft Corner Mysteries... Hughes did an excellent job of developing the surrounding characters... Careful reading of the book showed that Hughes had done a masterful job of planting clues as to the identity of the killer."

On top of all this, Wreath of Deception made the Independent Mystery Bookseller Association’s September 2006 bestseller list! (www.mysterybooksellers.com/bestsellers.html)
