A MAY DAY PAGEANT TURNS DEADLY WHEN A SNIPER TAKES AIM -- AND A WEALTHY MATRIARCH, A BEER BARON'S DAUGHTER IS SHOT.
Part of the Cozy Mystery Series that’s been described as “a cut above the usual craft-themed cozy!” (Publishers Weekly)
Dumpster-diving for her lost paycheck seems like the low point of Kiki's day—until she finds a severed leg in the store’s trash. The creepy body part is real, it's human, and it foreshadows a chilling message.
A computerized voice on the store’s answering machine warns Kiki and her co-workers that all of their female shoppers are at risk. Sure, papercuts are common, but this slices too close to the bone. Who’s behind all this? What’s going on?
But wait! There’s more! Big questions need to be answered: Whom did the leg belong to? Where is the one-legged woman now? Is she alive or dead?
In this twisty, page-turner of a cozy mystery book, mom-turned-sleuth Kiki Lowenstein learns the severed leg did indeed belong to a missing customer—a woman with a tyrannical and violent husband. The discovery of the woman’s abandoned car, soaked in blood, signals a grim finale. No one could have lost that much blood and survived.
But while Kiki is busy fighting for justice, she overlooks signs of a similar problem much closer to home.
It's a dangerous blind spot that nearly costs Kiki both her career and her life in this gripping installment of a long-running cozy mystery series.
But Kiki is an amateur sleuth who won't give up without a fight. She’s determined to get the whole story. Despite sidelong glimpses into this disturbing topic, this book still manages to be a charming mystery loaded with crafts and humor. Readers will cheer as Kiki and her loyal Great Dane, Gracie, comb through the victim’s scrapbook projects for hidden clues. Together, this amateur sleuth and her faithful dog vow to solve this crime.
Make, Take, Murderis a cozy mystery thattackles serious subjects while remaining full of hope. Kiki's spunk and optimism guarantees a satisfying read.

Is it possible that Kiki was the real target? Unfortunately, the answer is YES.
After running for her life and huddling in a car until the all-clear is sounded, Kiki needs a shoulder to cry on. Instead, she gets chewed out by her browbeating mother. But things can always get worse...and they do.
Kiki's mother-in-law announces that she's getting married, and Kiki's daughter, Anya, becomes unglued. Suddenly, Anya will be the last Lowenstein standing...and that's enough to break a young girl's heart. In the meantime, Kiki must cope with her own grouchy, self-centered, elderly mother. And there are also all of those logistical problems that inevitably come with being a single mom with a full-time job.
Meanwhile, an old enemy has put out a contract on Kiki. She's worth a lot more dead than alive, which isn't surprising given the state of Kiki's finances. This would be a good time to focus on work at the scrapbooking and craft store--except Kiki can't shake the memory of those sniper shots raining down.
While creating a memorial album for the murdered heiress, Kiki discovers murky family politics that could be a motive for murder. With help from friends in high and low places, including hunky beau Chad Detweiler, Kiki finds herself facing a grave ultimatum: catch the killer or be cropped out of her own family album.
Photo, Snap, Shot explores the tensions created by family expectations while sharing a privileged insider's look at a bizarre, springtime ritual still practiced today in St. Louis. It’s a mystery with a touch of history!
