Cropped to Death by Christina Freeburn is the first in a series about
scrap-booking. The main character, Faith Hunter, is working in her West
Virginia hometown at the store owned by her grandmothers, who are best
friends. Faith had previously left town, joined the service, and was
now out of the service and looking for some peace and quiet, which she
was sure she would get in the small town she had lived in while growing
up.
Unfortunately, while at an event promoting the
shop, a man is murdered, and he is the estranged husband of one of the
shop's employees. Trying to help, Faith involves herself in the
investigation, much to the consternation of her grandmothers, her friend
who wants to be her boyfriend, and the detective in charge of the case.
This
was an enjoyable summer read, with interesting characters. It wasn't
too long, or too tricky, or hard to follow. I've already purchased the
next two books in the series, and plan to read them over the holidays.
