Description
Halloween means spooky scrapbooks for the Cumberland Creek Scrapbook Crop, but what's been happening around town is truly frightening. First a dead woman is found in the freezer at Pamela's Pie Palace, and the next day a second woman is found murdered by the river. Reporter Annie Chamovitz learns the victims were sisters and is certain their deaths are linked. Most bizarre of all, both women were found clutching scrapbook pages.
As their Saturday night crop quickly becomes an opportunity to puzzle out the murders, the ladies begin to wonder if Pamela is hiding more than her secret recipes for delicious pies--or if the crimes are related to the startling discovery that there are gangs in Cumberland Creek. As All Hallows Eve approaches, the crafty croppers must cut and paste the clues to unmask a deadly killer.
Includes tips and a glossary of terms for the modern scrapbooker!

Another story in which I learned a great deal about a craft (scrap booking) that I didn't know too much about. There are many interesting characters and their back stories are filled in, but now I would like to read the previous stories so I can know more about them. The murders are successfully and logically solved.

This book was good. There were a lot of characters to keep up with but they added different sides to the story. Annie is a reporter and avid scrapbooker along with her friends she gets together with each week to work on their scrapbooks. Annie investigates the death of a woman in town that is a Mexican immigrant and it leads her to find a side of town none of them even knew about. The story keeps you guessing who the murderer is and the motive til the very end.
I was given an advanced ecopy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
