Sarah Atwell's PANE OF DEATH provides a fine, different glassblowing mystery: this centered around a glassblower who lives in a Tucson artist's district teaching and selling wares, until she finds romance and a missing pane involve her in a murder investigation. Excelling in unusual settings and plots that go above and beyond your usual 'whodunnit', this is a highly recommended pick for any discriminating mystery library...

Congrats to the author, Sarah Atwell, for not only maintaining the high standards she established with her first book (Through a Glass, Darkly) but exceeding them even, in this new one. I loved it! Although I've seen a good many smaller-sized stained glass windows in homes, I had no idea such large ones as those in this story were available away from their original buildings! What a fascinating look at that part of the art...

Sarah Atwell has written a terrific sequel to her first glassblowing mystery. After stumbling onto another dead body, Em Dowell makes a real pain of herself when she finds herself filling the role of both suspect and sleuth. Unique characters and a spirited and witty protagonist make this book an absolutely great read. Here's hoping for a long life for this delightful cozy series!

This second book in the glassblowing series is a great read. I am a stained glass artist and enjoyed the descriptions of the stained glass art. The mystery is well blended with talk of glass, in my opinion this is the best in a themed cozy. Looking forward to a long continuing series.
