Handcrafted Murder

by Ben Ezzell, Daisy Carson

Overview

Murder can take many forms: there’s murder by poison, some favor guns, strangulation has hand-on appeal and electrocution can be popular with the gadget-inclined … but, for some, there’s nothing better than Handcrafted Murder. In this novel set in the Craft Compound in Brazos City (in Coloncho County, Texas), the victim is unlamented while the suspects run the gamut from an old Mexican grandmother to a variety of craftspeople to an upset society matron and it’s up to Daisy Carson – owner of Miscellaneous Unincorporated – and the wheelchair-bound Jonathan Bell – owner of Bell’s Books – to sift though multiple motives and almost as many crimes before, finally – with the help of a mariachi band – discovering who is the shaper behind the handcrafted murders.

About the Author

Ex-Navy Air Crew and electronics expert, Ben Ezzell returned to college for a ten-year stint collecting multiple majors in Math and Sciences as well as one in Arts and by correspondence, a BS degree in Computer Sciences. During his college career, Ben was an antiquarian book dealer but later began traveling (both throughout the US and abroad) while publishing more than two dozen books on computer programming. Tiring of writing about computers, Ben became a software design engineer and has two patents to his credit. Now retired (medically disabled, DAV), Ben lives in the Pacific North-west, in a temperate rain-forest jungle on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula accompanied by Mary, his lover for a half-century and his companion/nurse and sometimes boss, Keiser, a miniature Schnauzer and Medic Alert Service Dog with a penchant for challenging (and winning against) bears. When not overloaded with other projects – and there always seem to be other projects – Ben enjoys crafting mysteries which have backgrounds and plot divergences not commonly found in the genre but which are all authentic and drawn from a long and varied career in several fields and countries. Daisy Carson is a modest nom-du-plume for a shy and retiring lady who has written fantasy game books and feminist fairy tales under another name. When not otherwise occupied, she has been known to challenge bears.
