The secondary characters were all unique and added to the story. My favorite books are ones that have interesting characters. when her nephew entered the story I found his talent for beading came from his mathematical brain. That was another interesting thing. I would have never suspected a math brain to do beautiful artwork, which one things of more as creative but it makes sense.
The reader could root for Lilas from the start of the book. Coming home from being on the road and only wanting to drop into bed and sleep for week and finding a dead body in her living room... That caught my attention and kept it through the book.
If you're looking for an interesting mystery book that takes you into a life you may have never thought of that is filled with unique and interesting characters then Beaded to Death is the book for you!
Blurb for Beaded To Death:
You'd think the life of a bead artist would be fairly uneventful. But that's not the case for Lilias Ruiz.
Especially when she returns from an art fair tour and is greeted by a dead body.
The police are convinced she's the killer and suddenly Lilias finds herself hanging on to a thread of innocence.
But after her home is vandalized and her van broken into, Lilias begins to realize that she has something
someone wants.
Determined to return to the craft circuit, Lilias is relieved to be accompanied by her 7'3" nephew who's on the run from an unwanted basketball scholarship. Along with the help of her colorful neighbor, Annie, a cutthroat attorney who means well and an overzealous FBI agent, they string together the clues and wonder if there really could be a gem in Lilias's collection of dusty old beads. Or is the killer after something more?
