Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  Mrsbaty | Jan 15, 2014 |   I have now read 2 Faith Hunter Scrap This Mystery books and have enjoyed both. Faith can get into a lot of trouble doing nothing. This is a cozy mystery novel. It kept who the bad person was till almost the end. It had some twists I was not expecting. the plot was believable. It had lots of humor, love triangle sort of, gossip, lots of scrapbooking ideas and information. Kept my attention and I hated that I could not finish last night but I did this morning. Faith Hunter has a lot of secrets about what she did when she was away from her hometown about her marriage. She was hurt and afraid to get back into the dating scene. She is attracted to two guys. Both are good guys. One is Ted a police detective. The other is Steve a Prosecutor. Steve lives in same area as Faith and her two grandmothers. They all live in same condo complex. Faith's grandmothers keep throwing her at Steve. Steve has some secrets too. He is interested in Faith. Ted is a homicide detective and he is one person that knows about Faith's past. He tries to keep Faith out of his way he is afraid she will get into trouble. He cares about Faith too. Faith gets into a fight in her grandmothers scrapbooking store. She is trying to stop two cousins Belinda and Darlene from fighting. That night Belinda is killed behind the shop. Faith and Steve find the body. There are a couple of things that I still wonder about in the story. But it good be I missed the answers. One scene I found really funny is both grandmas ground her for a month. Their are lots of relationships mothers, daughters, sisters, cousins or grandmothers and granddaughter. Some seemed healthy and some not so much. I really do like Faith and her Grandmothers relationship to each other. Both sets of grandparents stepped into raise her after her parents died. They lived next store to each other and best friends. I look forward to reading more Faith Hunter Scrap this books. I was given this ebook to read and asked to give honest review of it by Netgalley. 09/10/2013 PUB Henery Press 288 pages ISBN 9781938383526 (  ) rhonda1111 | Sep 9, 2013 | Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Praise for DESIGNED TO DEATH:"Read this fun book and you will never think of Washi tape in in quite the same way again, I promise. Christina Freeburn's second installment in her scrapbooking mystery series is full of small-town intrigue, twists and turns, and plenty of heart." – Mollie Cox Bryan, Agatha Award Finalist, Scrapbook of Secrets"This is a fun series with very likable characters you will want to visit with again and again with every new book. Even if you are not a fan of scrapping (and I'm not – it's about the only craft I never got into) you will enjoy the series as it is not heavy with information about the hobby – as some hobby series can be. And if you are into the hobby, there are hints at the back of the book." – Kate Shannon, Rantin' Ravin' and Reading"[Freeburn] is able to weave in humor, but also suspense, and even a little bit of romance...If you're a series lover like me, you'll be happy to know that is the second in the Scrap This series, and a third is due in 2014." – Kerry Hammond, CriminalElement.comBooks in the Faith Hunter Scrap This Cozy Mystery Series:CROPPED TO DEATH (#1)DESIGNED TO DEATH (#2) EMBELLISHED TO DEATH (#3) September 2014Part of the Henery Press Mystery Series Collection, if you like one, you'll probably like them all...Author Bio: The Faith Hunter Scrap This Mystery series brings together Christina Freeburn's love of mysteries, scrapbooking, and West Virginia.

She lives in West Virginia with her husband, children, a dog, and a rarely seen cat except by those who are afraid or allergic to felines. .Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Faith works in her grandmothers' scrapbooking shop, Scrap This. They have a special event planned with a local celebrity scrapper which turns into an all out brawl. When one of the main participants turns up dead later that day, Faith needs to find out who the murderer is to save her grandmothers and their store from disaster, not to mention clearing her own name. Her involvement with the D.A. and the local homicide detective make her investigations even more interesting.
Designed to Death is set in a small town and that atmosphere really comes through. It's got a light feel to it. It emphasizes family relationship and friends in a positive way, something I appreciate after some of the books I've read lately. I know nothing about scrapbooking but that doesn't detract from the story. I felt like I learned quite a bit about the subject through this book. This is the second in the series and I think it would have been better to read the first one first, but I still enjoyed this immensely and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone who likes an entertaining cozy mystery.
I received this through Netgalley and appreciated the opportunity to read and review it. (
