Shards of Murder — Cheryl Hollon

At a glass-making competition, a sleuth must find a window into a criminal's mind: “Hollon clearly knows . . . how to craft a good mystery.” -- Sheila Connolly, New York Times-bestselling author of the County Cork series

As the new proprietor of Webb's Glass Shop, Savannah Webb has been appointed to fill her late father's shoes as a judge for the Spinnaker Arts Festival, held in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. With her innovative glass works, the clear winner is Megan Loyola, a student of Savannah's former mentor.

But when Megan doesn't show up to accept her $25,000 award, rumors start flying. And when Savannah discovers the woman's dead body on festival grounds, the police immediately suspect her of murder. To keep from appearing before a judge herself, Savannah sorts through the broken pieces of glass scattered around the victim for clues as to who took this killer competition too far . . .
