A Glassblowing Mystery

review 1: Em comes home from a vacation in Ireland with some bad news for her brother Cam, Alison has decided to stay there instead of come home with Em.Cam takes this very hard and takes off to be by himself for a while. Meanwhile, Em is trying to get back into her glassblowing business, her relationship with Matt and generally normal life. When a strange man stops in and asks if he can rent some time with Em's glass furnaces life turns very strange. After about a week of being gone both Alison (who came back a couple of days later) and Em start worrying about Cam while Em is more and more concerned about Denis her odd renter.There is a lot going on in this story with a dead body, gems that are so important to Denis and the disappearance of Cam. Not to mention the two relations... morehips, Em and Matt and Cam and Alison.I didn't figure this one out until Atwell wanted me to, so it was a fun read.Not as much glass lore in this one, but plenty of information about Peridot gems, apparently found all over the world but in the U.S. the largest deposit is in Arizona, on the reservation and controlled by the Apache Tribe.
review 2: Or maybe one and a half stars. There are some things I like about this Glassblowing Mystery series - the characters, the sensible approach to solving the mystery, the glassblowing information. But I became very bored in the middle of this book and skipped ahead to read just the last few chapters. Then I decided I didn't need to go back and read the parts I skipped. I'm on the fence on whether I'll read the next book in the series, might give it the benefit of the doubt, but this one was not a good installment for me. less
