Another fun ride with Abby McCree! This episode has Abby playing liaison for Snowberry Creek's Art Fair. She and her friends, Dayna and Bridget meet up with a number of artists the SCA want to come and it's up to Abby to get them to. I was tired just reading about everything she had to do! Dayna is having a problem with one of the vendors who seems to have cut Dayna lovely pottery from any sales and she needs to know why. Of course, murder ensues and Dayna becomes the top suspect. I loved following Abby as she investigated the death and her loyalty to her friends. I can't wait for the next book! Thank you to NetGalley for the advance read.

This was a fast read. The setting was that of a craft fair, which was a refreshing change. The book was a typical cozy mystery. There were a lot of characters with interesting features. I received this book as an ARC from Netgalley for an honest review.

This is one of my absolute favorite cozy mystery series, and this latest book did not disappoint at all.
Abby has once again been roped into helping out, this time with an arts and crafts fair. While meeting with the vendors prior to the fair, Abby stumbles upon some odd characters, one of which ends up murdered. There are a few suspects and motives, but when Abby gets a little too close to the killer, things could get tricky for her.
The characters are so relatable, its like revisiting old friends. The plot flows effortlessly from scene to scene. Highly recommend.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Abby McCree has found herself wrapped up in another murder investigation, and even though she knows she shouldn't get involved, she just can't help herself.
When her friend Dayna is the prime suspect in a murder, Abby and Tripp work together to prove her innocence.
I'm happy for they way things are progressing with Abby & Tripp, they make a good pair and I enjoy their passion for keeping their friends safe.

Abby McCree is still finding her place in her new town of Snowberry. She inherited her aunt’s home and finds herself falling more in love with the place she now calls home. She has her new friends, many responsibilities that she gets volunteered for and it doesn’t hurt that her tenant (ok he may be more than that) is attractive. All is good. Except one thing, she keeps finding herself in the middle of murder investigations.
When two of her business cards end up at a murder scene in the middle of a craft fair, Abby is questioned and tries to steer clear. But as the mysterious Madam G predicted, she goes on the path to solve that happened to the victim while also trying to find out what happened to her best friend’s business partner. Will a séance be the answer to whodunit?
I love small town, cozy murder mysteries. They seem to pull me in and keep me guessing until the end. Thanks to NetGalley, I was able to dive into this one.
This is the first book I have read in the Abby McCree series, but it turns out you don’t necessarily need to read them all in order. There are some brief reminders written in to give you the clear picture of Abby’s life. The title automatically called out to me because I am a crafter, so of course I needed to know what this book was about. There wasn’t a whole lot about the crafts themselves, but it made sense to why the title is what it is..
I was immediately sucked in and ended up finishing the book in about two days. I did enjoy it, but I was hoping for more “investigation”. I guess Abby was really trying to stay out of the way. It felt like things kind of just “fell” into her lap and found them out instead of seeing the process that led up to the clues being found.
I loved her rapport with the chief and detective. Her “mean streak” had me giggling and the kindness she had to still feed them was something that I could relate to. Even if she was very mad at them. I also love how protective she is over those she cares for.
I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars. I would recommend this to my friends that love murder mysteries and do not have a whole lot of time to sit and read. It was a quick and fun read but left me wanting more. I do plan on finding the other books and reading them too.

Thank you NetGalley for a pre-release copy of Death by Arts and Crafts.

This series by Alexis Morgan continues to be one of my favorite cozy mystery series, and the newest book in the series didn't disappoint. Trouble follows our leading lady back to her small town craft fair. There are two mysteries at play - are they connected, are they not? You'll have to read and see. It's so fun to continue getting to know these recurring characters, see their relationships evolve, etc. I'm excited for the next book - bigs things ahead!!

Abby is helping organize her town’s first ever arts and crafts festival by going around and talking to participants. However, one of them ends up dead and more murder and chaos ensues. Abby investigates to solve the crime before one of her friends becomes the next victim.

I hadn’t read any of the previous In this series, which ultimately was ok. You don’t have as much insight into relationships but for the actual mystery, it’s fine! However, I felt like there wasn’t a lot of investigation. It was more things happening and then Abby stumbling upon things than her searching for clues and interviewing people.

I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Death by Arts and Crafts is a delightfully fun cozy mystery. Abby, the newest member of the Snowberry Creek city council, finds herself on the planning committee for the town's first arts and crafts fair. With her friends by her side, Abby visits a number of other fairs across the state in order to compare set ups and talk with the artists. What was supposed to be a fun weekend with her girls turns deadly when one of the local artists is found murdered. Once again (and not to the delight of the local police), Abby is caught up in a homicide investigation, one in which her dear friend is a prime suspect.

Death by Arts and Crafts has everything a good cozy needs: small town vibes, delicious food, close friends, and an adorable fuzzy roommate. The mystery was entertaining and kept me guessing until the end. The fair setting is perfect and brought back many memories of attending similar festivals. Death by Arts and Crafts is an excellent read for anyone looking for a fast, cozy mystery.

Death by Arts and Crafts is an enchanting cozy mystery. Try as she might, Abby can’t seem to keep from being drawn into the latest murder and mystery in Snowberry Creek. It doesn’t hurt that she’s well liked and trusted by the locals, and she’s good at piecing together clues. With her friend Tripp also serving as a protector, she attempts to help solve this whodunit and protect her friends, while also trying her best not to get involved in police business. I love the characters and the twists and turns as the residents of Snowberry Creek are faced with another case of foul play.

A fun fast read filled with delightful characters. There are loads of twists and turns that keep you guessing until the end. Abby McCree is a delightful character that you will come to love. Well written story. Strong friendships. A true delight! Thanks #netgalley and #Keningston for the eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine.

Abby has been volunteered to touch base with some of the artists that will be at Snowberry Creek's first-ever arts and crafts fair. As she will be visiting several fairs she decides to make a girls weekend of it by inviting Bridey and Dayna. All is going well until Dayna has a fight with her business partner. The next day Abby find out someone has been murdered and her business card has been found at the scene. Abby swore the last time that she would not get involved in another murder investigation , but when Dayna comes under suspicion and others keep involving her she has no choice.
This is a great Fun, fast paced, could not put down read . The characters seem real and relatable, you can not help but be drawn to them and the story. The whole series is a must read.

What a fun, fast read! A great cozy mystery set at a craft fair with an added dose of murder! I haven’t read any of the other books in the series and feel like I was missing some backstory but I don’t feel like it distracted too much from this book.

It was mostly about a arts and crafts fair.
Abigail was in charge of it. She went from fair to fairv to make sure everything was ok.
Someone was ended up murdered at the fair in her town where she is from. Can they find out who did it and why it keeps you wondering why someone did something to ruin this fair
This wax q good coxy mystery. I highly recommend it. I loved the characters and everything about a arts and crafts fair that part was fun.
This book was approved by netgalley and the publisher for me to read and review.

Abby McCree is always suckered into volunteering for things in town. FINALLY she takes on a project that allows her to take. Road trip with her besties, Dayna and Bridey. the ladies are off to check out other towns’ arts & craft festivals to see what they’re doing as well to spread the word on Snowberry Creek’s upcoming festival.

The ladies are enjoying themselves and the festivals, until someone is murdered at one of the events and Dayna becomes a suspect. It’s up to Abbey to craft her own investigation to clear her friend, while trying to a step ahead of the killer.

It’s nice to finally see Abby finally getting a fun project to take on where she and the girls can enjoy some time together. however, we know Abby just always manages to find herself in close proximity to bodies, and this entry doesn’t disappoint. hopefully the next time Abby head out of town, it will be for a romantic get away with Tripp.

A first time festival, is planned for Snowberry Creek to draw visitors to the cozy city. Arts and crafts booths, fun food, activities are all set to go.....unfortunately, someone added murder to the list of events! Abby McRee is once again smack dab in the middle of a deadly investigation. As the newest city council member in Snowberry Creek, Abby is assigned the task of meeting with vendors who will be participating in the their first festival. Everything is on a roll until the vendors she visited with start disappearing. If Abby isn't careful, she may be next!I

Abby is a strong woman whose kind heart and natural curiosity lead her into sleuthing. However, she has good friends who are there to help. One of the reasons I enjoy this series,is the strong sense of community. Another is the growing relationship between Abby and her boyfriend, Tripp. It's a mature romance that has grown over the series. Tripp is very supportive of Abby as are her friends Betsy and Dayna. So many things happen in this book that you won't want to put it down!

I received an ARC from NetGalley and the opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Abby McCree inherited her aunt's home and moved to Snowberry Creek after a messy divorce. She's made friends and put down roots, and has become close with her tenant, Tripp Blackston, who resides in the mother-in-law house behind hers.

In fact, she's become so much a part of the community that she was coerced into joining the city council. Now, as its newest member, she's assigned to travel to several arts and crafts fairs around the area in order to see if they, having committed to being a part of Snowberry Creek's first arts and crafts fair, will need anything the day of the fair. Along with her are her two best friends, Bridey Roker, who owns the local bakery, and Dayna Fisk, who works in ceramics.

All seems well when they begin their journey, and they have no problems until they finally reach a noted craftsman. But she can only meet the man's niece, as he seems busy, and decides to return later. But when she does, the tent is closed, and so she returns home.

Then Abby, back home, is visited by Homicide Detective Ben Earle and local sheriff Logan Gage. They have questions about her being at one of the fairs -- it seems someone was murdered and her business card was found at the scene. When she explains her actions, she's determined to stay out of this murder, which pleases the three men in her lives. But when a woman disappears and her friend Dayna is considered a suspect, things change. But how can Abby be there for Dayna and stay out of the murder? She's determined to figure it out -- but fate has a way of changing things all around...

This is the sixth book in the series and I have read them all. I must say that this is my very favorite of them. For some reason, when Abby was sad, I was also. When she cried, I felt my own tears pooling. Usually, I am not drawn into books as deeply as I was in this one, and it was indeed an emotional roller coaster. Following Abby as she tries to navigate caring for her friend and staying away from the murder isn't easy, because Abby is having a difficult time herself. Each time she tries, something else occurs that pulls her closer; it eventually begins to pull at her instincts, and we feel the uncertainty that she does as she tries to figure it all out.

But it is a final note that brings Abby to the truth, and when she does figure it out, she comes to the same conclusion as I did a bit earlier (only because, and I state this regularly, I read a lot of mysteries). Watching Abby in the climax of the book only shows us how intelligent and resourceful that she is.

When the murderer is discovered, the reasons for it seem rather sad on one side and as old as time on the other (read the book and you will understand); and yet -- there is more to come and it brings both joy and calm and expectation for the future. All is well once again in Abby's Snowberry Creek; and I am glad that it is so. Kudos to Ms. Morgan for bringing us a terrific tale of mystery and intrigue. I thoroughly enjoyed it and anxiously await the next in the series. Highly recommended.

I received an advance copy of this book from the publisher and NetGalley but this in no way influenced my review.

I received a free, advance copy of this book and this is my unbiased and voluntary review.

Arts and crafts fair can be deadly. Abby finds herself researching them as she becomes a member of the committee for the new Strawberry Creek fair.

Attending another fair a body is found which leads to vendors mysteriously disappearing. Abby friend will become prime suspect as she will have to do some sleuthing to save her friend and perhaps from becoming the next victim.

A fun cozy read.

Another great book by Alexis Morgan. "Death by Arts and Crafts" was a fun, quick romp of a cozy mystery.

Death by Arts and Crafts by Alexis Morgan (Abby McCree Mystery #6) 5 stars

Ever the volunteer or is it ever always drafted, Abby McCree has her hands full as a new council member. Next on the ever growing list of duties is official liaison between the City Council and the committee running the first Arts and Crafts Fair in Snowberry Creek. But the job seems fun and Abby is able to turn it into a girls weekend with her friends Bridey and Dayna. All Abby has to do is meet with some of the vendors that have signed up for the Snowberry Fair. So over that weekend, Abby and friends visit about four fairs to meet vendors and do some reconnaissance. Unfortunately, one of the contracted vendors is murdered and Abby is questioned because her business card is found at the crime scene. Abby is determined to stay out of the investigation, but due to suspicious circumstances, Dayna ends up a suspect. Abby will have to use all her skills and ingenuity to find the real culprit.

I love the Abby McCree mysteries; they are fun and great reads. I love the relationships between Abby and the supporting characters. The romance between Abby and Tripp Blackston has been on a steady trajectory since Book One and this book has a milestone for their story. I look forward to the next book in this series.

Thank you Netgalley and Kensington Books

This is a cozy mystery written by a talented author. She has woven a story that is difficult to put down...there are red herrings, so it is not easy to discern the ending. That is a welcome challenge. The novel is character driven with likable characters, some quirky. Love and romance...friendship...arts and crafts...craft fairs...getting along with others even when they might not be the easiest to like...this book was sent to me by Netgalley for review. Thanks to the publisher for the electronic copy. I enjoyed this book. Curl up in a comfy chair and be whisked away to the fairs...enjoy.
