Book 1 of the Paper Crafts Club Mysteries

Katie is busy enough as a single mom with a series of dead-end jobs. She barely has time for her passion-paper crafting.

But when one of her housecleaning clients turns up dead, stabbed with a paper crafting tool, Katie is in trouble.

She has her own ideas about who the real murderer is, but the lead inspector won’t listen.

Can she dig up evidence before another victim drops dead? Or will she take the fall for a crime she didn’t commit?

Sometimes “skeletons in the closet” is more than just a figure of speech.

Meet Stella O’Neil. She’s got a lot on her plate, as a new real estate agent. Now throw in a dead body found in what used to be the town’s “royalty” family manor, and she’s neck deep in a mystery.

As Stella’s curiosity leads her from one town resident to the next, a dramatic tale of family secrets starts to appear. She’s so close… but someone… maybe more than one person… will do anything to stop her.
