GLUE DILIGENCE
In Harland County, crafts, cozy crimes, and cowboy charm collide as crafty amateur sleuth Jenna Blake tackles small-town secrets, DIY disasters, and a slow-burn romance with the last man she expected.
" Glue Diligence Book 1 of Harland County Mystery series by Donna Michaels is a hilarious new cozy mystery with sisters Jenna and Kimmie who couldn't be more opposite if they tried! I have loved Ms. Michaels books for years and this book has them beat!! I can't wait for more!" ~Liz
" Donna Michaels has made me laugh so hard reading this book, cry for what once was, and jump for joy and cheer for a happy ending, I can't wait for more glitter and gnomes, thank you," ~Dana Zamora
" I have been reading Donna Michaels books for years and always think each one is the best. This book has them beat. The suspense of not knowing what will happen next or who the bad guy is starts it off. Then the humor and the snark of the characters, plus reuniting with past friends from other books makes this one so perfect. This is a clean romance that shows real caring, growing into love. I cannot wait for the next story." ~Sandy Davidson Scheer
Crafting can be murder…especially when the glue gun points to you.
After trading courtroom chaos for hot glue and hand lettering, Jenna Blake is ready for a fresh start in Harland County, Texas. Her new DIY and craft shop is just the creative reboot she and her sister Kimmie need—especially after a year that left them grieving, restless, and done with big-city living.
But small-town life isn’t as quiet as Jenna hoped.
When a famous DIY influencer vanishes on the eve of a high-profile event at Jenna’s shop, suspicion lands right on her glitter-covered shoulders. And when the influencer turns up dead—with a craft tool from Jenna’s own inventory—it’s clear someone’s trying to frame her.
Enter Josh Bryson—Harland’s new DA investigator, Jenna’s childhood crush, and the one person she hoped to avoid while rebuilding her life. Now they're forced to work together as Jenna dives headfirst into a murder investigation, dodging red herrings, gossiping quilters, and a killer who knows how to cut deep.
With help from her tech-savvy sister, a few oddball locals, and a suspiciously prophetic gumball machine, Jenna must solve the case before her new beginning turns into a permanent end.
