review 1: I thought this was a great, cozy mystery. I felt very sympathetic to the main character- Jo McAllister- who was struggling to put her life back together after her husband was killed in an accident. She sets up an arts and craft store but finds the grumpy clown who she'd hired for her grand opening dead in her back room. Hughes did a great job developing her characters and the mystery. There's humor, butthe ending was exciting and also very touching. I highly recommend this book.
review 2: Place a few ladies of varying ages and backgrounds around a table in a craft shop and they not only learn craft techniques, they also reveal themselves through casual conversation. In WREATH OF DECEPTION, a cozy mystery by Mary Ellen Hughes, Jo not only begins her new small to
... morewn life by opening her craft supply store, but also solves crimes! The endearing Jo is surrounded by a stereotypical group of ladies: the elderly mother-figure, the young woman, the silly-fluttery person, the dear ever-reliable close friend, and so on.This initial book in the Craft Corner Mystery series is a relaxing read with affable characters, an interesting plot, a fairly standard recipe for chili, and directions of wreath-making.

Cozy mystery set around a craft store owner named Jo. Light and fluffy, nothing too hard about it.
