I'm not a scrapbook enthusiast, it's not the first in the series, and I can't find a recommendation. However, it was an amusing cozy, with a little too much detail about scrapbooking materials and techniques. It's set in St. Louis, which makes for a nice change. One of the subordinate characters speaks with a terrible imitation of backwoods grammar - very irritating - but the rest is tolerable, and distracting on a cold, gray November day. ( ) While learning new techniques, discovering new products, generating new clients, and helping the current clients of Dodie’s store, Time in a bottle, where Kiki works; she is busy snooping to solve a murder. Light-hearted summer read. I learned a lot about scrapbooking and just a little about how to remove moles from a yard. Enjoyed. book description: All it took was one scone. When the hot-tempered (and widely hated) hobbyist Yvonne Gaynor eats a tainted pastry at Kiki's scrapbooking crop party, it triggers an allergy that leads to Yvonne's death. Even worse, the police suspect foul play when they realize that someone tampered with the treats and swiped the victim's allergy medication. An expert at stealing design ideas, Yvonne had enough enemies to fill a memory album. Soon, the scrapbooking community pins her murder on Kiki's friends and our ace scrapper finds herself dealing with anti-Semitic threats at the shop, a quarrelsome pre-teen daughter at home, a meddlesome mother-in-law, and constant financial pressure. Despite help from the handsome yet annoyingly coy Detective Detweiler, Kiki has her work cut out for her in solving the crime. This continues the Kiki Lowenstein series. A rival scrapbooker is murdered at a crop that Dodie and Kiki are hosting. Suspicion falls on all who knew her because none liked her. Now Kiki needs to solve the murder since her friends are being questioned by the police. Also new men are popping up in Kiki's sphere. I loved this mystery. It was well written but I did figure out the motive and who did it. Some revelations come out that shocked me. Kiki and Sheila are getting along but how long will that last. Sheila's mole problems were comic relief. I enjoy this series so much. I cannot wait to read more. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
