HARROWING HATS
HARROWING HATS
A RENAISSANCE FAIRE MYSTERY
BY JOYCE AND JIM LAVENE
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Dark, Unsweetened Death
Life in Renaissance Faire Village is pretty sweet for Jessie Morton - until one of the Three Chocolatiers is found drowned in a vat of chocolate.
A hat pin sticking in his eye seems to pin the murder on hatmaker Andre Hariot. But he is only one on a long list of Village folk who might have wanted to see the Chocolatier dead.
As Andre's apprentice, Jessie feels a special obligation to clear Andre and bring at least semisweet justice to the killer.
PRAISE FOR HARROWING HATS:
"Offers a vibrant background for the mysterious goings-on and the colorful cast of characters.”—Kaye Morgan, author of Celebrity Sudoku
“Jolly. . . . serves up medieval murder and mayhem.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Part of the fun of this solid whodunit is the vivid description of the Renaissance Village; anyone who has not been to one will want to go . . . Cleverly developed.”
—Midwest Book Review
“Joyce and Jim Lavene have teamed up for yet another terrific mystery series . . . A feast for the reader . . . Character development in this new series is energetic and eloquent; Jessie is charming and intelligent, with . . . saucy strength.”
—MyShelf.com
“A promising new series set at a Renaissance Faire . . . Interesting juxtaposition between the present and the past and the real and the fantastic . . . Entertaining and vivacious characters.”
—Romantic Times
“I cannot imagine a cozier setting than Renaissance Faire Village, a closed community of rather eccentric—and very interesting—characters, [with] lots of potential . . . A great start to a new series by a veteran duo of mystery authors.”
—Cozy Library
ABOUT THE AUTHORS:
Joyce and Jim Lavene are a married writing couple who live in North Carolina with their family. They get help from their cat, Quincy, and their big puppy, Rudi, who they rescued in 2010. They have been writing together since 1994 and published since 1999. Last year marked their 52nd book in print. They enjoy writing mysteries but are at home with fantasy, romance and non-fiction. The couple both work for their small, hometown newspaper, The Weekly Post. They are active in Sisters-in-Crime and Mystery Writers of America.GIVEAWAY

I found this really interesting about "Harrowing Hats" that Jessie feels a special obligation to help clear Andre because she's his apprentice...a lot of times when bad things happen ...people run the other way..shows the character has grit!
