Faith
Hunter was setting up the booth to represent the Scrap This
shop, at the convention center. Her Grandmother Cheryl and
Grandmother Hope were busy organizing the event - the community
arts benefit show or ABS. While walking to the booth with
Marilyn Kane, they spot Marilyn’s cheating husband Michael
with his very pregnant girlfriend. Marilyn takes off in the
other direction saying she’s going to kill him. A short
time later the loudspeaker announces that a murder has taken
place and all hell breaks loose.
Fasten
your X-ACTO knives – that all happened in the very first
chapter. Marilyn is of course charged with the murder of her
husband. Faith feels guilty about being the one to tell the
detective what Marilyn said when she saw Michael. Naturally,
Faith agrees to run her own investigation to prove that Marilyn
is innocent. After all she was part of JAG until she left
the military. The only problem is that no matter where she
goes, Detective Roget is not far behind. Will Faith be able
to figure out who the killer is before it is too late or will
she be cropped?
Things
to ponder: Exactly what did Detective Roget want to discuss
with Faith after church? Will we learn why Faith keeps everyone
at arm’s length? Will Faith figure out whodunit or will
she end up in the cell next to Marilyn’s for impeding
the official police investigation?
This
is the first book I have read by Christina Freeburn and it
will not be my last. Christina writes a fun read with unforgettable
characters. Once I picked up the book to read I found it very
hard to put down. It is a fast read – a page turner.
So if you like mysteries with a crafty edge, then this is
the book for you.
