Great story!, Mar 29 2011

I love this series and have been waiting (impatiently) for this latest book. This story brought attention to the serious issue of domestic violence. Some parts (describing the victims of domestic violence) were hard for me to read, but I think that was the point. While this series is still "cozy", the subject matter is serious and eye-opening.
That said, the mystery was wonderful. I love the character development and the friendships Kiki has made. The storyline with Chad continues but we see that maybe changes in their relationship are coming. I hope it clears up in the next book. While I love the storyline, after four books of the on-and-off Chad/Kiki relationship - will they or won't they, I am ready for Kiki and Chad to both make a decision about where their relationship is heading.
I can't wait for the next book in the series.

What an explosive story. Finding a human leg while looking for a missing paycheck is not how Kiki wanted to begin her day, but that is what happened one morning. When later it was discovered to be a missing customer who was abused, Kiki didn't know this would closely touch her as well. I could not put this book down and this story grabbed my attention as Kiki struggles with so many issues that life kept putting in her path and I enjoyed watching her become stronger from it. The mystery was good but what I liked best was the relationship among the characters from Kiki and Chad and Clancy and Dodie and even Sheila. I can't wait to read the next book in this character driven series that will touch your heart.Ch

I am an avid scrapbooker and paper crafter. If you are the same, you MUST read this series of books!!
This is the fourth book in her Scrap n Craft mystery series. Without giving the whole story away, I will fill you in.
Kiki Lowenstein is the main character. She is part owner of a scrapbook store, widowed and has a teenage daughter.
Kiki starts out by diving in the store dumpster looking for her paycheck. No such luck for that. What she finds instead will leave your hair on end.
That certain item leads to the mystery of the whole book. Kiki always somehow finds herself solving a crime.
It is the busiest time of year for the store. She finds herself working way too hard by working extra hours, watching dogs and trying to make ends meet for her and her daughter.
Will Kiki's hard work pay off? Will she run out of steam? Will she solve the mystery? Will Kiki ever get ahead? Which man will Kiki end up with?
The story certainly doesn't end the way you expect it would! A real page turner and makes you want to read the next book in the series even sooner!
Please check it out! It is well worth reading!!!!!!!!!!!
