Cropped to Death by Christina Freeburn is the first book in the new “Faith Hunter Scrap This” mystery series. Publisher: Henery Press, November 2012
Former US Army JAG specialist, Faith Hunter,
returns to her West Virginia home to work in her grandmothers’ scrapbooking
store determined to lead an unassuming life after her adventure abroad turned
disaster. But her quiet life unravels when her friend is charged with murder
and Faith inadvertently supplied the evidence. So Faith decides to cut through
the scrap and piece together what really happened. With a sexy prosecutor, a
determined homicide detective, a handful of sticky suspects and a crop contest
gone bad, Faith quickly realizes if she s not careful, she ll be the next one
cropped.
When one of Faith’s employees is accused of murdering her husband, a secret past and a promise propels Faith into investigating and she’ll have to crop the killer out of the picture if she wants to see another scrapbook. This was a great read that had me reading non-stop from the moment I turned the first page. The author did a good job in keeping me in suspense with plenty of twists and turns and every time I thought I had it figured out, the author changed the direction in which the story was headed. What intrigued me most is Faith’s past and how it played in her approached to the clues she uncovered. The writing flowed easily and I liked the cast of characters in this charming whodunit. Christina has written an enjoyable story and I look forward to learning more about Faith and her friends.
