Publisher's summary

Overdue bills and constant mother vs. mother-in-law battles at home are bad enough. But crafts editor Anastasia Pollack's stress level is maxed out when she and her fellow American Woman editors get roped into unpaid gigs for a revamped morning TV show.

Before the glue is dry on Anastasia's mop dolls, morning TV turns crime drama when the studio is trashed and the producer is murdered. Former cohosts Vince and Monica—sleazy D-list celebrities—stand out among a lengthy lineup of suspects, all furious over the show's new format. And Anastasia has no clue her snooping has landed her directly in the killer's unforgiving spotlight.

Mop doll and Christmas string doll ornament craft projects included.

Cunning Cozy Mystery

Book 2 of the "An Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mystery" series was as good as the first one. I enjoyed the story. I was entertained by Anastasia and her friend as they worked to try and solve the mystery. I appreciated the information on how to make mop dolls. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. Alexandra Bitton-Bailey's narration was good, and her performance enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Anastasia and drama

I like the narrator. The mystery part of the story is good. It does feel like there is an awful lot of drama in Anastasia Pollack’s life. I would likely enjoy the books more with slightly less drama.

Entertaining

This is the second in the Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mysteries series. I listened to this book narrated by Alexandra Bitton-Bailey.
This book begins 3 months after Anastasia’s husband’s death and xxx after the first book. Anastasia no longer has to worry about the loan shark her husband owed money to; he’s in jail.

Anastasia deals with the following personnel at her home on a daily basis: two teen sons, a PITA mother-in-law, and her oversexed mother along with a dog, a cat and a parrot. It is a bit overwhelming. Luckily she has a handsome tenant, Zack Barnes, in her ex-craft office above the garage.

Wild ride through this mystery. Enjoyed every minute & the narrator, Alexandra Bitton-Bailey, did a wonderful job.

Great light mystery

I was ready for a light mystery. Winston's book didn't disappoint. It's humorous and easy to follow. The characters--especially Anastasia's mother and mother-in-law--are a hoot. And if you consider the bird as a character, add that one to the list. To top it off, Anastasia is a delightful character. You'll root for her as she moves from one crisis to the other. Overall, this is a great audio.

What a delight!

The audiobook, "Death by Killer Mop Doll" is a wonderful listen! Not only does author Lois Winston treat us to one of her crafty crafting mysteries, but Alex Bitton-Bailey is an ideal voice artist! As I listened to the book, I enjoyed her gentle tone of humor as she conveyed each character and kept the story moving. From beginning to end, she made me feel as if I were a friend with whom she was sharing her fun and delight - even in the midst of murder and mayhem. And why not? Author Lois Winston is a terrific writer who really delivers! Yes, you'll enjoy a plot that turns and twists (I didn't see one of those murders coming!), but you'll also delight in her characters. And in an Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mystery, you'll get plenty of interesting characters! I guess my favorite is Anastasia herself, with her sassy outlook on life, her incredible coping skills in the face of many challenges, and her enduring love of her family. BTW, I'm a weekend dabbler in crafts myself, so I enjoyed the craft projects. Even just listening, inspired me to experiment with a few creative ideas. What fun! And what an anecdote to cold, grey days in winter! So, I recommend that you treat yourself to "Death by Killer Mop Doll" via Amazon, Audible and iTunes.

Fantastic book by an outstanding author

This author never disappoints. Her characters are quirky, interesting and her stories keep me guessing. This book made me laugh out loud at the humor and sarcasm. The audio version lets me do chores and run errands with a smile on my face. I love the endings because you feel satisfied and happy after reading her books. Another great book by Lois Winston! Highly recommended.
