Kiki Lowenstein is understandably upset when her daughter Anya finds a body at school. She is upset a little bit more when she finds out that Detweiler, a man she was growing to care for until the minor fact that he is married emerged, is working the case. Then there’s the stress of knowing that her boss has cancer; what will that do to her job? Throw in some pressure, spoken and unspoken, from her mother-in-law, and you have almost a normal day for a single mom. Perhaps the part about the body is a little out of the ordinary – but not for Kiki.
Because Anya may have unknowingly seen the murderer, Kiki won’t stay out of the case, no matter how much Detweiler insists on it and no matter how much she has to deal with Detweiler. Kiki uses every connection she has, every skill she possesses, to make sure that Anya is safe.
This is the third book in the Scrap-N-Craft series. Slan has developed some great characters; even the peripheral ones are believable. The romance between Kiki and Detweiler is also well done. Everyone knows at least one woman who’s been deceived, for whatever reason, by a married man. Still, Detweiler isn’t totally unsympathetic as a character. Fans of cozy, craft-themed mysteries have much to enjoy in Slan’s series, even without the scrap booking tips.

I have not read any books by this author yet. But she is on my list of authors to check out I do like her snappy titles for her books.
I’ve LOVE a free copy! Joanna is a snappy person, and a snappy writer!
I read Papers, Scissors, Death and really enjoyed the book. I need to look for more in her series. Scrapbooking sounds fun but I don’t think I have enough artistic ability for the craft.
Kiki sounds like a fun character. Must check out this series.
