Killer, Paper, Cut (Kiki Lowenstein Cozy Mystery Series Book 9)

A HALLOWEEN SCRAPBOOK PARTY TURNS INTO A NIGHTMARE—AND KIKI IS LEFT WITH BLOOD ON HER HANDS.

Good-hearted Kiki Lowenstein plans a Halloween charity crop at a historic haunted house. The crafting is going great until someone slashes the throat of Laurel, one of Kiki’s employees.

The attack puts a real damper on the festivities. Sure, there are tons of reasons to hate Laurel. She’s beautiful, shapely, and intelligent. But she’s also kind and gentle. Why would anybody want to see her dead?

Hint: Maybe it’s because of her second job?

A very pregnant Kiki connects the dots and quickly discovers that she has been clueless far too long. Closely held secrets point to a web of deception, one that has Kiki tied in knots. But the spunky scrapbooker refuses to lie down and die. Someone tried to chop Laurel down, and Kiki isn’t about to let a would-be killer get away with attempted murder.

Bumping her snooping skills up a notch, Kiki whittles down her suspect list. Meanwhile, on the home front, she’s stabbed in the back by someone she trusted. Will our intrepid crafter survive the unkindest cut of all?

KILLER, PAPER, CUT provides thrills and chills, plus all the ingredients necessary for a yummy mystery plot. Kiki’s witty retorts to those who would judge her friends harshly will have readers chuckling.
