Synopsis

AS MANY SECRETS AS THE PILES OF STUFF—IN A HOARDER'S HAVEN A BODY IS HIDDEN . . .

The phrase "hostess with the mostest" takes on a whole new meaning when crafty amateur sleuth Kiki Lowenstein finds herself smack in the middle of a hoarder's crime scene.

Craft maven Kiki happens to be a card-carrying Episcopalian—but she respects the power of intuition. So when she has a "bad feeling" on the way to Marla Lever's house for a crafting party, she heeds her instincts. Marla's nowhere to be seen, although her car's in the garage—buried under a heap of garbage and lawn furniture. Because the potential horror of a party in a hoarder's paradise pales in comparison to the body that's found in Marla's freezer. Marla's nearly dead herself—passed out from heat stroke.

But the hoarding and the human popsicle aside, something about Marla's circumstances just doesn't seem right to Kiki.

Kiki digs deep into a treasure trove of clues—from Marla's semi-estranged children to her barely-touched inheritance. Kiki meticulously glues these puzzle pieces together. But it's only a matter of time until Kiki’s curiosity sends her down a path even more treacherous than one of Marla's hallways.

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for. This is my first Kiki book but I must say that I am now hooked so I will be reading more. Kiki works for a scrap booking store which is a first for me. This is very intriguing. The owner's daughter has been......more

Goodreads review by Jeanie on February 04, 2016

I an not even sure why I liked Ink, Red, Dead, so much but I really did. I think it is because the main character seemed so real and she had good sense, she got irritated at irritating things, she loved her daughter and was willing to work with her mother, she didn't always act the way she thought s......more
