While Georgia has come to love her new hometown, her stained glass windows haven't exactly been raking in the dough. So when her best friend, Carrie, offers her the opportunity to create a made-to-order window for Wenwood's latest bed and breakfast, Georgia jumps at the chance.
But when Carrie's ex-husband's office suddenly burns to the ground and Carrie's shop and apartment are robbed, Georgia has to put down her glass and cutter to get to the bottom of the trouble. Carrie insists she doesn't have enemies, but Georgia is determined to do everything in her power to find out who's targeting her best friend - and why - before anyone else's life is smashed to pieces...
✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽
Georgia has moved back in with her grandfather, "Grandy," when her job fell apart as an accountant. Now she works making stained-glass, and because of her friend Carrie, who owns an antique shop, she's set to make a nice window for a new B&B that's opening in town. But while there, Carrie gets a call from the police, and rushing to the scene, Carrie sees that her ex-husband's office has been set afire. Unfortunately, the police called her because they can't find Russ. And neither can Carrie. When Carrie's shop is rifled through, Georgia wants to know what's going on and where Russ might be.
I remember reading the first in the series and liking it. But this second book is s-l-o-w. So many descriptions and not enough action. I had a difficult time getting through this book, waiting for something to happen. I read up to page 146 and we still hadn't had a murder, nor did we know who the victim was likely to be.
I really wish I could have given this book a better rating, but it felt as if the author just didn't care enough to write it. There was nothing to pull you into the story, and Georgia just isn't an interesting character, and neither is Carrie. Carrie is dull and meek, and Georgia is afraid of her own shadow and thinks because she left the town she once called home she's an 'outsider,' so won't even stand up for herself.
I know that there is one more book in this series, but sadly, I don't think I'll be finishing it. We have the beginning of a love triangle (which I absolutely loathe) and with as boring as this book was, I really don't care enough to continue on.
