This is book 3 in the Glassblowing Cozy Mysteries. I liked them all.. What I liked most was that they take place in Arizona. Em, is a glassblower, she also has people come into her shop for glassblowing lessons.
The author did a great job instilling what the shop looks like and I would totally love to visit it even though it isn't real. Em lives in the upper portion of the shop and the downstairs houses her equipment for making glass items and where her classes are held. There is also a portion there where she sells her glass work, and so people come and go like in any store to purchase or just to look at her beautifully made glass items.
I enjoyed hearing about the glass making process, the equipment used and in the end feel people enlightened on the whole matter. The mysteries were fairly good, but weak. I wasn't all that impressed with these books but I did appreciate them.
I did learn a lot in each book about different things, gems like Periodot, which are talked about in book 3. I had no idea the history and the true bits of info the author provided to us about the stone. By the end of this book I wanted to rush out and buy some Periodot
Before each chapter the author always listed an interesting fact about whatever the book is about, so in this one, each fact was about Peridot.
Book 3 is a little long, has more pages than it needed, and when a situation occurred it was explained to a variety of characters at separate intervals, leaving you saying, "Ok, I already know and have heard about this, "Lets move on please..." Not much is spoken on the Arizona landscape either, so dont expect to hear too much about that.
All of the books in this series so far are just 3 star reads to me. Nothing to get into a dither about and nothing to go rush and buy. They would be a great read for someone who is interested in glassmaking/blowing.
