Book Overview

Another book in the long-running Cozy Mystery Series that's been described as "a cut above the usual craft-themed cozy " (Publishers Weekly)
Who put the ho-ho-homicide in the holidays? Not Kiki. But she better track down the person who killed one of her customers or she'll be hanging stockings all by herself This is a twisty, page-turner of a cozy mystery book that wraps holiday mayhem in a package of festive fun
Kiki is eight months pregnant and trying to accomplish as much as possible before her due date in this charming mystery with crafts and laughs. Everyone associated with her shop, Time in a Bottle, is hustling to finish their handmade holiday gifts. But those projects get hijacked when a customer drops dead. Suddenly, this intrepid scrapbooking sleuth is left holding the (diaper) bag in this cozy pet mystery with realistic characters.
After her name is cleared, this mom-turned-sleuth and cozy mystery book heroine isn't one to sit around. Not while her friends face false imprisonment. Instead, she vows to wrap up this case and tie it with a bow. Leave it to Kiki to determine who was nice, and who was very, very naughty, indeed.
A nasty Christmas Grinch is targeting one of Kiki's friends-and that's not kosher. No way will this amateur sleuth and her crime-solving dog take a back seat in Santa's sled while one of her pals is thrown under the holiday tour bus. What's more, the murder weapon really "bugs" Kiki in this laugh-out-loud cozy mystery series.
This cozy mystery with a lovable dog delivers the perfect holiday blend of suspense and warmth
The entire crew at Time in a Bottle is working hard to carry out Kiki's Holiday Crafting Extravaganza, twelve days of fabulous classes. Everything conspires to turn Time in a Bottle into a carbon copy of Santa's busy workshop. Kiki might not qualify as Santa's Ace Helper, but she's definitely one of his favorite elves. She plans to make murder charges stick like a fresh roll of tape as she wraps up the case.
