**Praise for *Lye in Wait*, the first Home Crafting Mystery:**
"McRae crafts strong characters [and] spins a credible, enjoyable plot." —*Library Journal*
"[A] wonderful start to a mystery series." —*Cozy Library*
*Wine jelly. Watermelon pickles. And a suicidal stalker? Great.*
Thirty-something crafter extraordinaire Sophie Mae Reynolds makes preserves by day and answers a crisis center help referral line by night. What better way to help people while still keeping a low profile? But on her very first night, she gets a call from a man who is threatening suicide... and her. Angrily deeming the caller a crank, her boss, Philip Heaven, disconnects the line. Days later, Philip dies from a nasty case of botulism. Now, as a stalker singles out Sophie Mae, Philip's eerie last words keep coming back to haunt her: *Threat. Meant it.*
Stirring up the town with talk of murder by preserves, can Sophie Mae and her handsome boyfriend Detective Barr Ambrose spoil a mad murderer's poisonous plans?
*This dangerously delicious second book in the Home Crafting Mystery series also includes recipes for preserves and beauty products!*
