Mosaic Mayhem by Lois Winston is the second mini-mystery in the “Anastasia Pollack Crafting” series. Publisher: Lois Winston, August 2013

So much for a romantic getaway…When cash-strapped mom and reluctant amateur sleuth Anastasia Pollack is offered an all-expense paid three-day trip to Barcelona, her only worries are whether her passport is still valid and arranging care for her semi-invalid mother-in-law during her absence. However, within hours of landing in Europe, she finds herself staring down the barrel of a gun and needing to convince a Spanish crime syndicate they’ve got the wrong person. Why do people on both sides of the Atlantic keep trying to kill this pear-shaped, middle-aged single mom, and magazine crafts editor?

Loved it! This fast-paced drama is enjoyably engaging as Anastasia finds herself in another dangerous situation that ends with a surprising twist of events. A great read!
