Book Overview

See why this Cozy Mystery Series has been described as "a cut above the usual craft-themed cozy " (Publishers Weekly)
It's January in Missouri and the temperatures are sub-zero. An infant is abducted...and Kiki might be the only person who can track down the culprit.
The arrival of Kiki's own baby is cause for celebration, but this mom-turned-sleuth suffers from a severe case of post-partum blues. Her mood darkens further in this cozy mystery when she learns that her friend Bonnie's newborn has been stolen from a local hospital. All these complications are the backdrop for a cozy pet mystery with realistic characters. Although this book doesn't shy away from serious topics, it is still a charming mystery with crafts and laughs.
Bonnie is too grief-stricken to be of any help to the authorities. Can Kiki pull herself together long enough to step in? Bonnie refuses to talk to anyone else. Only Kiki can get through to her.
It's a lot to ask of this new mother, especially when the people around her don't recognize the depths of Kiki's own despair. As with many post-partum sufferers, she is too depressed to demand the help she needs. In this case, her brave face is actually hurting rather than helping her. She's been typecast as "unsinkable," and no one can tell how badly she's suffering.
With each hour that passes, as the mercury continues to plunge, the chances of finding Bonnie's baby alive grow slimmer. Can our amateur sleuth and her dog turn this tragic situation around?
Glue, Baby, Gone tackles the important and misunderstood problem of post-partum depression with realism and hope. Readers will enjoy the rollercoaster thrill ride. This book features both puzzling elements and comforting examples of friendship.
This book can be read as a stand-alone, although if you skip the others, you'll miss a lot of the fun Eager for a "Happily Ever After" ending? Then this series will delight you. It's perfect for readers who love Laura Childs, Clare O'Donohue, Elaine Viets, Alexander McCall Smith, Diane Mott Davidson, Brianna Bates, Ellery Adams, Tonya Kappes, Cindy Bell, Lois Winston, and Mollie Cox Bryan. If you crave stories that entertain, inspire, and educate, Joanna Campbell Slan delivers exactly the kind of books you'll treasure.
