You’ll love this Cozy Mystery Series that’s been described as “a cut above the usual craft-themed cozy!” ( Publishers Weekly ) S heila Lowenstein’s wedding should have been perfect. Every detail had been planned carefully…except for the discovery of a corpse. Ace scrapbooker and mom-turned-sleuth, Kiki Lowenstein bent over backward to make everything exactly right for her mother-in-law. She even followed the carefully planned color scheme! But the bride wound up turning red with anger and white with fury. Her hot temper ruined the romantic ambiance. Rather than tossing her bouquet, Sheila vowed to shove the flowers up somebody’s snout. That same “somebody” was found floating face-down in the punch bowl. Suddenly, Sheila's wedding portrait looks a lot like a crime scene photo. In this twisty, page-turner of a cozy mystery book, Kiki and her beloved dog, Gracie, follow hidden clues by exploring Sheila’s past. It isn’t the first time this amateur sleuth and her dog have solved crimes. Old photographs often share revealing details, and no one knows that better than a scrapbooker. You could even say Kiki has a real nose for crime detection. This cozy mystery with a lovable dog picks up speed when Kiki realizes that Sheila and her old high school chums share the same profile. Hmmm? How could that be? Maybe these women also share a secret? One they hoped time would erase? This delightful cozy pet mystery with realistic characters dishes up plenty of humor while exploring our culture's obsession with beauty. It’s a laugh-out-loud cozy mystery that offers a vision of the world through the lens of aging female friends—think Golden Girls meets Steel Magnolias with a murder mystery twist. This book can be read as a stand-alone, although if you skip the others, you’ll miss a lot of the fun! Eager for a “Happily Ever After” ending? Then this series will delight you. It’s perfect for readers who love Laura Childs, Clare O'Donohue, Elaine Viets, Alexander McCall Smith, Diane Mott Davidson, Brianna Bates, Ellery Adams, Tonya Kappes, Cindy Bell, Lois Winston, and Mollie Cox Bryan.
