Lois Winston, the author who is always getting me
into trouble, has done it again. Scrapbook
of Murder, the sixth book in the Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mystery series,
is currently available for pre-order, and as usual, thanks to Lois, I’m up to
my eyeballs in murder and mayhem.
Lois often gets her plot ideas from news stories she
reads. Scrapbook of Murder is no
exception. It was inspired by two recent headline-making events, a sex scandal
at a prestigious New Hampshire prep school and a real-life ongoing mystery
taking place in the town where the Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mysteries are set.
She even blogged about it shortly after the story broke nationally. You can read about it here.
To whet your appetite, you can read the first chapter
of Scrapbook of Murder here.
Scrapbook
of Murder will release on Oct. 2nd
and be available in both print and as an ebook. In celebration of my latest
caper, I’ve created a one-of-a-kind fabric and button-craft photo album that
Lois is giving away only through her newsletter and readers of this blog. If

Scrapbook
of Murder
An Anastasia
Pollack Crafting Mystery, Book 6
Crafts and murder don’t
normally go hand-in-hand, but normal deserted
craft editor Anastasia Pollack’s world nearly a year ago. Now, tripping over
dead bodies seems to be the “new normal” for this reluctant amateur sleuth.
When the daughter of a
murdered neighbor asks Anastasia to create a family scrapbook from old
photographs and memorabilia discovered in a battered suitcase, she agrees—not
only out of friendship but also from a sense of guilt over the older woman’s
death. However, as Anastasia begins sorting through the contents of the
suitcase, she discovers a letter revealing a fifty-year-old secret, one that
unearths a long-buried scandal and unleashes a killer. Suddenly Anastasia is
back in sleuthing mode as she races to prevent a suitcase full of trouble from
leading to more deaths.
On sale everywhere Oct. 2nd.

I love the premise of the latest book!
The story about the Watcher gave me the shivers. Best of luck with your new release!
Thanks so much, Anonymous and Kathleen! It will be interesting to see how The Watcher story ends. No suspects yet.
Anastasia, that Lois always puts you in the thick of things (smile!). Best wishes to you both on the new release!!!
She certainly does, Angela! Thanks for stopping by.
I love that you take your inspiration from actual events - especially in my home state of New Hampshire. Looking forward to reading the book!
Thanks, Cathy! Hope you enjoy it.
