Home Crafting Mysteries Synopsis: Lye in Wait is the first Home Crafting Mystery from debuting author Cricket McRae. Sophie Mae Reynolds is surprised to find a dead body in her own workroom. It’s the body of the local handyman, Walter Hanover. He died from drinking lye, something she has a lot of. But the police don’t suspect Sophie Mae, a widow in her 30s who makes and sells beauty products. Instead they call it a suicide. But why would a man with lottery cash and a loving fiancee kill himself? No one can stop the impulsive Sophie Mae from trying to find out, including her sensible best friend Meghan or Detective Ambrose, who incites annoyance as well as stomach flutters. Sophie Mae’s big mouth and sharp nose lead her to a peppermint-scented trail of arson, bigamy, and a shocking family secret that reveals a personal connection to Walter… and his killer.
