Dollycas's Thoughts
Faith Hunter has a past. Her dismissal from the Army is a bit unclear, it is something she wants to keep to herself. Her grandmothers think she needs a new man in her life and they have no problem pushing and nudging one specific man her way. She is happy managing their scrapbooking shop, Scrap This, and taking things easy for now.
She is excited about a local Art Fair her grandmothers have organized. The shop has a booth and is running a couple of contests so she hopes it will draw some new customers.
Trouble arises before the fair barely starts. Then it turns major when someone is murdered and Faith's friend, Marilyn is the prime suspect. It's a sticky mess and Faith feels she needs to try to paste the clues together to help. It was kinda her fault that Marilyn was arrested.
I really like that characters in this story. Faith is trying so hard to keep her secret and protect her heart. Her grandmothers, Hope and Cheryl, just want her to be happy. Steve Davis, the easy on the eyes prosecutor, is the man Hope and Cheryl would like to see their granddaughter matched with but hunky Homicide Detective Roget may have some designs on her himself. The dialogue between the characters is well written.
The scrapbook theme is fun and sparked my creative juices.
The mystery itself was very intriguing and while I knew who the culprit couldn't be I truly didn't know who did it until right along with Faith. The ending was full of suspense.
The author blends a good dose of humor throughout the book too. This little snippet made me giggle.
"We should unlock the door," Cheryl said. "Are you sure?" Hope asked. "It looks like someone said George Clooney was here giving out his phone number."
This story was a great introduction to this series. All the cozy elements are present, great characters, a charming small town, and a murder with plenty of suspects. I plan to read the rest of the books available in this series very soon.
