review 1: I'd been trying to figure out why there hadn't been any new "Periodic Table" mysteries by Camille Minichino--and discovered she was writing a 2nd series under the name of Margaret Grace. This is the 1st--and it's a nice little cozy of the craft sub-genre. You can enjoy the adventures of widowed, retired-English teacher Geraldine without being interested in miniatures, but if this is your hobby, the series will really appeal to you. She's a Bay Area writer. Good offering for someone who's cooped up in bed/hospitalized. Nothing too traumatic!
review 2: Murder in Miniture Grace, Margaret (A+) First in new series. Geraldine Porter, a recently retired high school English teacher in a small northern California town, has more time now to spend on her lifelong hobby:
... more building dollhouses and miniature scenes.
Before the doors open to the crafts fair that Geraldine has organized, there’s a snag in the program. Geraldine’s friend and fellow crafter, Linda, has failed to appear at her post. Also missing is the last piece of furniture Linda painstakingly built—a miniature Governor Winthrop slant-top desk.
By the time the week is over, Geraldine has dealt with robbery, fraud, and murder, all wrapped up in the world of the very small furniture and dollhouses. Well plotted and written with interesting background and good use of setting. less
