I'd give this one 2.5 stars. The mystery was weak, and it wasn't until two-thirds of the way through that any sleuthing took place. A SHATTERING CRIME begins with the murder of a protester, a man against a new development in town. After that, a big chunk of the book was about Georgia's relationship dilemmas, her kooky pets, and her stained glass art - which is great! Those kinds of things are what give cozies their personalities. However, I still want the focus of the plot to be solving the murder mystery, which wasn't the case here. Unfortunately, this mystery just didn't work for me.

This is the 3rd book in this series. A pleasing story set in Wenwood, New york. I found parts of it original, but other sections are predictable. Georgia Kelley's life has settled into a routine of stain glass projects, law clerking and as a waitress. She loves interacting with Friday, her cat, and dog Fifi. Georgia attends the groundbreaking ceremony where an opponent of the project dies after eating pastry. She has no plans on looking into the matter until Grandy asked her to do it. Her Mother and new husband are visiting and causing some of the difficulties. Her romance with Tony is processing. I plan on reading earlier books.

Puzzling
I love both cozy mysteries and working with stained glass so this series seems like a no-brainer to me. I've read the other books and enjoyed them but this book is difficult for me. I really want to like it but it's a muddy mess. Cozy mystery usually centers around murder. Well, there is a murder in this book but it seems to occupy such a small part of the story that it's bewildering. The murderer is revealed in about two sentences at the end of the book and the reason for the death makes absolutely no sense. The heroine of the story waffles and dithers and can't make up her mind about anything - to the point of being annoying. This is supposed to be a book about a stained-glass artist but the detail given about working with stained glass is miniscule. The author and her editor need to have some serious conversations about the next book.

Review:
A Shattering Crime is without a doubt the best in the Stained Glass Mystery series to date. Third in the series, it can be read as a standalone. Georgia is working at least three part-time jobs, and learns something valuable about her current lifestyle in Wenwood, New York. Georgia has been following one of her dreams of working with the stained glass medium she loves.
Where Georgia goes, trouble seems to await her. She was in attendance at the groundbreaking ceremony of the new ‘shopping and dining’ experience at the river with her gentleman friend Tony. The leader of a group protesting the loss of the shoreline collapses and dies while noshing on treats that her grandfather’s friend Rozelle has baked for the occasion. Rozelle is the main suspect as she had prepared special sugar free danish that he ate. Her restaurant is thoroughly searched by the police and bags of evidence were filled with some of the baking materials and removed for testing. Then Rozelle disappeared without telling anyone, and Georgia was again pulled into a mystery and a murder…and just to stir up the pot, Georgia’s mother and her latest husband show up for a visit and want to change her life for her. What’s a busy gal to do? Accept help wherever she can get help from, including Terry, a retired PI, who provides invaluable help. And try to give Diana, a friend and police officer who is studying for the detective exam, the space to do her job without expecting the favor of sharing tidbits of the investigation details.
I really enjoy the direction this series is taking, as Georgia has grown so much since the first mystery. Relationships seem to be strengthened and more positive. Georgia has self-confidence that stabilizes her even on the toughest days. Georgia holds first place as the kind of friend and employee one would want to have.While she could step off the pages into daily life, we learn only a little new information about Tony or Grandy. Other characters, including the short term, peripheral and suspect characters are limited to being revealed through behaviors and conversations. I like Georgia, her friend Diana, BFF Carrie who runs Aggie’s Gifts and Antiques, Grandy, and his lady friend Rozelle. What we know about Georgia’s mother and her new husband is limited, as those are not the more healthy of Georgia’s relationships. I didn’t particularly like the way either of them treated Grandy or Georgia!! Two of the straightforward characters that add the icing on the cake are Fifi the French Bulldog and Friday, the kitten who is in her first heat unbeknownst to Georgia as a first-time cat owner. I gotta love a woman who rescues pets who provide some of the funniest scenes in the novel!
The plot was fresh and fabulously executed, including twists and turns even while tossing out a red herring or two. I enjoyed how people in Wenwood knew that Georgia was a very bright young woman who could help the police solve the murder and mysteries and helped her as best they could so Rozelle could be located. I was impressed with how Detective Nolan now listened to Georgia’s ideas even while advising that she should leave the police work to them. It was also interesting to read how Georgia planned various glassworks for the holidays and used colorful glass shards to design earrings to wear or sell. It was fun to be baffled through the end only to not have figured out the right bad guy/ gal! The ending was a breath of fresh air and satisfaction as there was fun with a bit of romance, with all loose ends tied up. I highly recommend A Shattering Crime to those who appreciate well-written cozy mysteries, stained glass crafts, cats and dogs, and a potential for romance.

A Shattering Crime by Jennifer McAndrews is the third book in A Stained Glass Mystery series. Georgia Kelly is a CPA, but she prefers working with stained glass (she is an artist). Georgia has been making a living by selling small stained glass pieces and jewelry (like her fairy chime earrings) that are being sold at local stores (like Aggie’s Gifts and Antiques). Georgia is attending the ground breaking ceremony for the new Riverside Promenade in Wenwood, New York with her boyfriend, Tony Himmel (a contractor). Unfortunately, there is a group protesting the new shopping complex led by David Rayburn (for political reasons). The highlight of the event are the delectable delights being served by Rozelle Shurz from her bakery. Rozelle is seeing Georgia’s grandfather, Pete (aka Grandy). When David (the protestor) turns up dead, Rozelle ends up at the top of the suspect list. Rozelle had made special pastries for David (gluten free). Georgia knows Rozelle would never hurt anyone and sets out to prove her innocence (Grandy wants Rozelle’s name cleared). Georgia is also having to deal with her cat, Friday who has been making the most awful racket (those of us who own cats know what the noise means). Georgia takes her to Dr. Bucherati, the local veterinarian, and finds out Friday is in heat (definitely explains the caterwauling). Then Georgia’s mother, Joanne arrives in town (and takes over Georgia’s bedroom) with her new husband, Ben Sutter (a condescending scumbag—pardon my language). They feel that Georgia is not on the right track with her life, and they spend their time badgering her about her life choices. The investigation gives Georgia a good excuse to avoid home. Then there is her boyfriend, Tony. His current job is ending and he needs to decide upon his next job. Tony wants to talk to Georgia, but Georgia does not wish to talk to him (she has commitment issues). Life is never dull. You will have to read A Shattering Crime to find out how it all turns out!
The mystery in A Shattering Crime not only took a backseat in this novel, but it was in the trunk in a locked box (maybe a pretty stained glass box). The crime investigation really did not start until the second half of the book and then it is still not a dominate part of the storyline. The killer is extremely easy to figure out despite the few clues the readers are given (I could have told you the killer as soon as the guy keeled over). The majority of the book is about Georgia, her life, her family, the cat, and her “issues”. Georgia has extreme commitment issues (which I found exceedingly annoying after a while). Georgia had to move out of her bedroom and into guest room for her mother’s visit, and Georgia did not like it (which she made it evidently clear). The bedroom issue was mentioned five times and then I stopped counting. I thought too much time was devoted to Georgia’s thinking and her insecurities. It is supposed to be a cozy mystery, and I wanted more mystery! I give A Shattering Crime 3 out of 5 stars (it was okay). I did not find A Shattering Crime as good as the first book in A Stained Glass Mystery series. The best part of the book was about the cat in heat (it was funny the way the sound was described)! Grandy was my favorite character. I liked him and his attitude. Will I read the next book in the series? Yes. I will give A Stained Glass Mystery series another chance (every series deserves a second chance).
I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest evaluation of the novel which does not influence my review in any way.

Ultimate Reading Challenge 2016. A mystery.
First in this series that I have read though not the first in the series. Georgia, her Grandy, and her friends are easy to like. Her mother and the latest husband are not. Let's hope they leave town soon and take their comments and criticisms with them. Not so certain about the current boyfriend.

This is the first book I have read by this author in the Stained Glass Mystery series featuring Georgia Kelly.
Moving back to Wenwood, New York was not in Georgia's plans, but after losing her job and her fiance, moving back to her Grandy's home seemed like a smart idea, in Georgia's opinion. Working at a few part time jobs in the quiet town gives Georgia time to do what she enjoys, working with stained glass.
When Georgia's mother and her new step father come to town for a visit, Georgia wishes she was any place else, especially when her mother and step father begin to harass her with moving out of " this hick town."
Plans for a new shopping area are in the works, but when an activist winds up dead, all fingers point to Rozelle, the local baker who served him a deadly danish.
Georgia has no plans to investigate, but when her Grandy, who is sweet on Rozelle, asks her to find out where Rozelle disappeared to, Georgia cannot say no.
Before long, Georgia is wrapped up in small town secrets and finds herself right in the middle of harms way.
I enjoyed this series and look forward to reading the others in this delightful series.
I received an ARC of this book via the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for my fair and honest review.

I received a copy of this book through a Goodreads giveaway for an honest review.
The rating is really a 2.5. I had not read the first two books in this series, so I believe that colored my enjoyment a bit. Early on, there were a lot of characters that I just couldn't figure out how they fit together; for example, Tony, Tom, and Terry were introduced in the first few pages and I couldn't keep them straight until much later. I also realized who the killer was the moment the character was introduced. To me, the plot felt a little disjointed; there was separation between the crime, Georgia's inner world, and her family life - they didn't feel cohesively blended like some other mysteries may. However, I don't know much about stained glass and I truly enjoyed learning more about the process, so the technical descriptions were fun for me to envision. This novel didn't inspire me to read the first two, but if you have already read the first two books, perhaps this is another you should pick up!

A sparkling addition to the Stained-Glass Mysteries!
Author Jennifer McAndrews has written another fabulous installment to her colorful, National Bestselling cozy mystery series. I finished this book in almost one setting. I didn’t want to put it down!
A SHATTERING CRIME is a wonderful mix of mystery, intrigue, and humor. I really like protagonist, Georgia Kelly. The story is from her point of view, and she say and thinks some of the funniest things! I laughed out loud a few times. As for the mystery aspect, it was extremely well thought out. There were just enough twists in the story, without weighing it down, to keep me guessing until the end.

Since I don't normally write reviews unless I have something specific to say, here's the break down of how I rate my books...
1 star... This book was bad, so bad I may have given up and skipped to the end. I will avoid this author like the plague in the future.
2 stars... This book was not very good, and I won't be reading any more from the author.
3 stars... This book was ok, but I won't go out of my way to read more, But if I find another book by the author for under a dollar I'd pick it up.
4 stars... I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be on the look out to pick up more from the series/author.
5 stars... I loved this book! It has earned a permanent home in my collection and I'll be picking up the rest of the series and other books from the author ASAP.

This was a book I won from a Goodreads giveaway. I read the first two books in the series before reading this one. It's a fun series.
This book has a little bit of everything. Relationship issues, family drama and of course a good mystery. Even though Georgia tried to stay out of the mystery she found herself being pulled in. It's fun watching her become more of the community she wasn't sure she wanted to be a part of. If you like a story with heart and a keeps you guessing mystery, you'll enjoy this one.

Georgia is enjoying life in Wenwood as winter approaches. Then her mother and new husband arrive for a visit. At the ground breaking for the Promenade, a man collapses and later dies. Georgia has no intention of getting involved until her grandfather asks her to find out where Rozelle has gone.
There is drama with her cat Friday and decisions to make regarding Tony. In many ways there is a lot of drama over very little. This book wasn't the best of the stained glass mysteries.

Book 3 has made me a believer in this Stained Glass series. The writing has improved a lot and I am looking forward to a 4th book. I am happy there is more stained glass information , because it is very interesting. The setting and Georgia's supporting cast of characters are part of the reading pleasure (except for her step-father and mother)!
August 16, 2016
This one is a little better than the other 2 of this particular series. She appears to now have 2 men who would like to date her. Tom is basically the main person for now. In the middle of this a baker goes missing ad we do not find out till near the end who decided to kidnap the baker.
August 21, 2016
Very well written but the mystery was poor". No clues really, it felt like the ending came out of no where. But I like the characters and location so I'm hopeful for the next in the series.
July 13, 2016
Ho Hum really. Was quite slow.
January 16, 2017
I enjoyed this book. it's a cozy with a rwist; the main character works with stained glass instead of food. The characters are good though the mystery was a little on the weak. side. I will be reading more in this series.
