Excerpts from "Pane of Death":
“Not you too. No, I did not kill Peter Ferguson. No, I do not know who did. No I do not have an alibi for the time in question, or at least not all of it. No, I did not steal his glass panels—although, come to think of it, in my case that would be a much better motive than unrequited lust. I liked Peter, but I really loved his glass.”
and...
“Maddy pirouetted gracefully, her filmy clothes swirling. I felt clunky beside her in my sweaty cotton tee and jeans, but swirly wouldn’t work with blazing furnaces. Besides, I outweighed her by a good twenty pounds.”
and...
“I was becoming more and more mystified. I wasn’t sure what would be considered “big” in the stained-glass world, and I couldn’t for the life of me see where Maddy, with her mediocre talent might, fit into it.”
Here's the review on Amazon.com from Publisher's Weekly:
From Publishers Weekly
Atwell's breezy debut fires something unusual in the furnace of low-key Tucson glass blower Emmeline (Em) Dowell, just after she befriends a fragile-looking redhead named Allison McBride. As Em attempts to figure out who plunged a man's head into the 2,000-degree furnace of her studio—and who the victim was—she's forced to resurrect a long-dead acquaintance with ex-lover police chief Matt Lundgren. When she's not busy making and selling art glass and hanging with Allison, Em is dodging surly strangers and trying to figure out why the FBI is so interested in the case. Em is likable; the mystery is satisfactory; and an introduction to glass-blowing techniques and lingo (plus a recipe for Em's specialty, mac & cheese with hotdogs) keep things light. (Mar.)
