Guilty as Framed

When an elderly man shows up at the home of reluctant amateur sleuth Anastasia Pollack, she's drawn into the unsolved mystery of the greatest art heist in history.

Boston mob boss Cormac Murphy has recently been released from prison. He refuses to believe Anastasia's assertion that the man he's looking for doesn't live at her address and attempts to muscle his way into her home. His efforts are thwarted by Anastasia's fiancé Zack Barnes.

A week later, a stolen SUV containing a dead body appears in Anastasia's driveway. Anastasia believes Murphy is sending her a message. It's only the first in a series of alarming incidents, including a mugging, a break-in, another murder, and the discovery of a cache of jewelry and an etching from the largest museum burglary in history.

But will Anastasia solve the mystery behind these shocking events before she falls victim to a couple of desperate thugs who will stop at nothing to get what they want?

A Crafty Collage of Crime

Winner of the 2024 Killer Nashville Silver Falchion for comedy

Wherever crafts editor and reluctant amateur sleuth Anastasia Pollack goes, murder and mayhem follow. Her honeymoon is no exception. She and new husband, photojournalist (and possible spy) Zachary Barnes, are enjoying a walk in the Tennessee woods when they stumble upon a body on the side of a creek. The dead man is the husband of one of the three sisters who own the winery and guest cottages where Anastasia and Zack are vacationing.

When the local sheriff sets his sights on the widow as the prime suspect, her sisters close ranks around her. The three siblings are true-crime junkies, and thanks to a podcaster who has produced an unauthorized series about her, Anastasia's reputation for solving murders has preceded her to the bucolic hamlet. The sisters plead for her help in finding the real killer. As Anastasia learns more about the women and their business, a host of suspects emerge, including several relatives, a relentless land developer, and even the sisters themselves.

Meanwhile, Anastasia becomes obsessed with discovering the podcaster's identity. Along with knowing about Anastasia's life as a reluctant amateur sleuth, the podcaster has divulged details of Anastasia's personal life. Someone has betrayed Anastasia's trust, and she's out to discover the identity of the culprit.
