THE STITCH, BAKE, DIE! GREAT ESCAPES BLOG TOUR AND BOOK GIVEAWAY

Today is the official release day for Stitch, Bake, Die!, the tenth Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mystery. It also marks the start of the Great Escapes blogging tour for the book. Over the next two weeks, author Lois Winston and I, her reluctant amateur sleuth, will visit various blogs and discuss all the murder and mayhem Lois throws my way. I’ve given up begging her to write a plot where I inherit a fortune or win the lottery so I can escape to another genre where dead bodies don’t constantly appear at the feet of unsuspecting heroines, but she just laughs and asks, “What fun would that be?” Personally, I think it would be great fun, but she’s never listened to me. 

This time around Lois has me tangling with cutthroat retired women executives, Big Pharma, and a doctor who must have had his fingers crossed behind his back with he took his Hippocratic Oath. I’d say I need a vacation, but the last time Lois gave me one of those, she also dropped in a few dead bodies.

 

Anyway, I hope you’ll join us for our tour around the World Wide Web for a chance to win one of five copies of Stitch, Bake, Die! Lois is giving away. All you have to do is enter the Rafflecopter at each of the stops on the tour. The more stops you visit and enter, the greater your chance of winning. 😁

Stitch, Bake, Die!

An Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mystery, Book 10

 

With massive debt, a communist mother-in-law, a Shakespeare-quoting parrot, and a photojournalist boyfriend who may or may not be a spy, crafts editor Anastasia Pollack already juggles too much in her life. So she’s not thrilled when her magazine volunteers her to present workshops and judge a needlework contest at the inaugural conference of the New Jersey chapter of the Stitch and Back Society, a national organization of retired professional women. At least her best friend and cooking editor Cloris McWerther has also been roped into similar duties for the culinary side of the 3-day event taking place on the grounds of the exclusive Beckwith Chateau Country Club.

 

The sweet little old ladies Anastasia is expecting to meet are definitely old, and some of them are little, but all are anything but sweet. She’s stepped into a vipers’ den that starts with bribery and ends with murder. When an ice storm forces Anastasia and Cloris to spend the night at the Chateau, Anastasia discovers evidence of insurance scams, medical fraud, an opioid ring, long-buried family secrets, and a bevy of suspects.

 

Can she piece together the various clues before she becomes the killer’s next target?

 

Crafting tips included.
