Crafts and Life

Keeley Carpenter has found her center. After returning to Belfrey, the traditional English village she called home ten years ago, she’s opened her dream yoga café, which doubles as both a yoga studio and a delicious vegetarian café. Even better, Keeley is dating handsome Detective Ben Taylor, and things are beginning to look serious.

Too bad things never seem to run smoothly for long. Eager to get involved with the local community, Keeley sets up a booth at the annual Belfrey Arts Festival, along with her nemesis, fellow small business owner Raquel. Preparing herself to play nice, she’s shocked when Raquel’s boyfriend, Town Mayor Gerald, is found dead after a public spat. Despite Ben’s strict warnings to stay out of it, Keeley isn’t going to let an innocent woman take the blame for the murder—even if it is glamorous, spoiled Raquel.

Now Keeley must balance a precarious murder investigation with the demands of her growing business and now-strained relationship. But when the killer takes a personal interest in Keeley, can she find the culprit before she gets bent out of shape?

Things seem to be going well for Keeley after the mishaps she encountered in the first book, her cafe is going strong, her Yoga teaching is as well (although the idea of using the upstairs as a studio has been slightly scuppered as she is living in the tiny apartment).  The only slight fly in the ointment is the fact that her hyper-critical mother is coming to stay.  Indeed she has turned up a week early! and then the other shoe drops with another murder and this time her nemesis seems to be in the spotlight.
