Renaissance Faire Mysteries Synopsis: In Wicked Weaves by Joyce and Jim Lavene (book 1 of the series), Jessie Morton is an assistant professor who spends her off-time in the summer at the Renaissance Village in order to hone her skills. She’s working as an apprentice to the basket-maker, Mary Shift, who has a dark past and is an expert weaver. But one day, a man is found with her trademark weave around his neck. Now it’s up to Jessie to get Mary out of the police station, but it’s difficult to prove innocence in a place where the line between reality and theatre is very thin.
