Murder can take many forms: there’s murder by poison, some favor guns, strangulation has hand-on appeal and electrocution can be popular with the gadget-inclined … but, for some, there’s nothing better than Handcrafted Murder. In this novel set in the Craft Compound in Brazos City (in Coloncho County, Texas), the victim is unlamented while the suspects run the gamut from an old Mexican grandmother to a variety of craftspeople to an upset society matron and it’s up to Daisy Carson – owner of Miscellaneous Unincorporated – and the wheelchair-bound Jonathan Bell – owner of Bell’s Books – to sift though multiple motives and almost as many crimes before, finally – with the help of a mariachi band – discovering who is the shaper behind the handcrafted murders.
