All it took was one scone...and Kiki Lowenstein's carefully ordered life crumbles into bite-sized pieces in Cut, Crop & Die. The tainted pastry causes a chain-reaction of calamities, starting with the death of rival crafter Yvonne Gaynor. Now the St. Louis community blames Kiki and her boss for the tragedy. Until the murder is solved, Kiki’s job is in jeopardy. Adding to Kiki’s troubles is upsetting news about her crush Detective Detweiler. On the home front, daughter Anya becomes increasingly moody and difficult while Kiki’s meddling mother-in-law Sheila does battle with Mother Nature’s minions. With two new love interests on the horizon, can our intrepid, Great Dane loving, Kiki draw on her new-found self-esteem and save her career? You’ll have to read Cut, Crop & Die to find out! This book includes crafting and creativity tips, a code for 50 free digital prints from Snapfish, and a new contest for a scrapbooker’s dream weekend.

Cut, Crop & Die is funny like Janet Evanovich, romantic like Nora Roberts, full of the joy of women’s friendships like Debbie Macomber, and a great mystery in the tradition of Mary Higgins Clark!
