High Strung

Jax O’Connell is looking forward to exhibiting her jewelry and being part of the grand opening festivities at a bead shop in Seattle. After an unexpected guest arrives with her misbehaving dog in tow, and Jax’s catnip-addicted cat goes missing, the weekend isn’t shaping up as planned. Things go from bad to worse when a dead body turns up in the alley behind the bead shop.
While several oddball bead enthusiasts are possible culprits, and Jax’s best friend Tessa is at the top of the list of suspects. Zachary Grant, a stern yet sexy homicide detective, thinks it’s an open and shut case, but Jax knows Tessa is innocent. As Jax and Tessa search for the killer, they discover that stringing together clues is more complicated than stringing together beads.
