Malice in Miniature
by Margaret Grace

Now that Geraldine Porter is retired, she's got time to devote to her favorite craft. You'd think the world of shoebox-sized Victorian shadowboxes and little ceramic bathtubs would be trouble-free. But Gerry's problems are anything but tiny...

When her son's family descends on her quiet home, crafty miniaturist Geraldine Porter is absolutely thrilled. Now she has the help of her adorable granddaughter, Maddie, to complete a room box in time for the "The Real President's Day" of Lincoln Point. But when trouble looms over the event, she'll need to enlist her little helper for a much bigger project.

Gerry's neighbor, June Chinn, has shocking news. June's friend Zoe has been arrested for murder. Zoe's boyfriend, a local artist, was found artfully killed—and now June desperately needs help. But Gerry soon discovers that there are some unsavory folks who think that Gerry's better off sticking to room boxes than sticking her nose where it doesn't belong...
