Ink, Red, Dead

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.
