Synopsis

When police detective Chad Detweiler's estranged wife is found shot to death with bullets from his revolver, the proud papa-to-be finds himself up the creek without a lawyer. The dead woman's family immediately points the finger at the detective. An exhausted Kiki does all she can to be supportive. After all, the dead woman was a drug addict! But when Detweiler's family makes a request that Kiki can't honor without breaking a promise, a solemn oath to her daughter, Kiki puts her foot down.

Worried, heartsick, and the target of the Detweiler family's rage, Kiki must keep up appearances and hold her head high, even as the entire St. Louis area brands her as a slutty excuse for a woman. Maybe she is, but she's also a loyal friend.

When her boss at Time in a Bottle, the craft store, is confronted by the heartbreaking, new information about the death of her son, Kiki offers emotional support. She embarks on a memorial project as a way to unravel the facts surrounding the boy's untimely demise.

Even as she untangles the messy threads connected to the past, Kiki can't stop herself from wondering if the man she loves is tangled up in murder. Could it be that the hunky cop just snapped?

Goodreads review by Shirley on May 14, 2013

After Kiki had been injured and the outcome left hanging in Ready, Scrap, Shoot, I was glad I had this book already on hand to continue the story! The various subplots were exposed so closely together, I almost thought I would become as unglued as Kiki, but the workings of each spread out nicely as......more

Goodreads review by Linda on November 16, 2021

My edition of this book says it is the 6th in the series, while other lists say it is the seventh. Whatever the order, I love this series. I have been living in Kiki's world for the last 2 weeks, reading books 1-6 without throwing in a different author to break things up like I usually do. This book......more

Goodreads review by Patrizia on October 11, 2017

3 stelle e mezza. Era da un bel po' che non leggevo nulla di questa serie... Il libro non è male, ma mi sembra che l'autrice abbia messo un po' troppa carne al fuoco: ci sono ben tre misteri separati, la protagonista ha appena scoperto di aspettare un bambino e le hanno sparato, la sua datrice di lav......more
