Dolls
Dolls and teddy bears are starting to get out of the mainstream of crafts. Perhaps you can use your scissors to… no, wait, put them down!
The Bear Collector’s Mysteries (John J. Lamb) Retired San Francisco cop Brad Lyon is settling into a quieter life with his wife Ashleigh in Virginia’s mountain country, where they collect and create teddy bears.
The Gretchen Birch Mysteries (Deb Baker) “Caroline Birch. Put her away.” The message was clutched in the fist of a destitute former doll collector found dead at the bottom of a cliff with a valuable French doll’s parasol in her pocket. And the person seen fleeing the crime scene fits Caroline’s description.
The Miniature Mysteries (Margaret Grace) Geraldine Porter thought that being the chairwoman of the local Dollhouse and Miniatures Fair would give her leisure time to spend on her favorite craft. That was before a fellow miniatures afficionado is suspected of murder, leaving Gerry to prove the woman’s innocence-or die trying.
The Teddy Bear Mysteries (Meg Macy) As manager of the family teddy bear shop and factory in small-town Silver Hollow, Sasha Silverman leads a charmed life. But Will Taylor, the sales rep, wants to make drastic changes to the business her parents built from scratch, with or without Sasha’s approval.
