Assault With A Deadly Glue Gun, 1st in the Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mysteries by Lois Winston, appears to be a comedic cozy and/or chick-lit amateur sleuth series. This is free courtesy of Midnight Ink, which IIRC is an imprint of publisher Llewellyn, known for its New Age books.
Currently free @
Amazon UK and will likely show up in the
main store. ISTR the previous Llewellyn freebies also being distributed to B&N and Sony, so it would not be a bad idea to check if those are your preferred stores.
Description
When Anastasia Pollack's gambling-addicted husband permanently cashes in his chips in Vegas, her life craps out. She's left with two teenage sons, a mountain of debt, and her nasty, cane-wielding Communist mother-in-law. Not to mention a loan shark demanding fifty thousand dollars.
Anastasia's job as crafts editor at American Woman magazine makes life even stickier when she discovers the dead body of über-ambitious fashion editor Marlys Vandenburg hot-glued to Anastasia's office chair. Marlys collected enemies and ex-lovers like Jimmy Choos. When evidence surfaces of an illicit affair between Marlys and Anastasia's husband, Anastasia becomes the prime suspect. Can she sew up the case and keep herself out of jail before the real killer puts a permanent end to her investigation?
