Description:

AS MANY SECRETS AS THE PILES OF STUFF—IN A HOARDER’S HAVEN A BODY IS HIDDEN…The phrase “hostess with the mostest” takes on a whole new meaning when crafty amateur sleuth Kiki Lowenstein finds herself smack in the middle of a hoarder’s crime scene. But proceed with caution: this one’s as littered with surprises as it is clutter. Craft maven Kiki happens to be a card-carrying Episcopalian—but she respects the power of intuition. So when she has a “bad feeling” on the way to Marla Lever’s house for a crafting party, she heeds her instincts. Something is definitely wrong. Marla’s nowhere to be seen, although her car’s in the garage—buried under a heap of garbage and lawn furniture. Sadly, that mess is the tip of the iceberg. Because the potential horror of a party in a hoarder’s paradise pales in comparison to the body that’s found in Marla’s freezer. Marla’s nearly dead herself—passed out from heat stroke, no thanks to the suffocating aroma of her 101 feline friends. Or so it seems… But the hoarding and the human popsicle aside, something about Marla’s circumstances just doesn’t seem right to Kiki, a woman whose insatiable curiosity and endearing persistence make her an ace amateur sleuth. For one, why would Marla turn off her A/C in the thick of a heat wave when she’s expecting company?  Kiki digs deep into a treasure trove of clues—from Marla’s semi-estranged children to her barely-touched inheritance. Kiki meticulously glues these puzzle pieces together. But it’s only a matter of time until Kiki’s curiosity sends her down a path even more treacherous than one of Marla’s hallways. To say that  Ink, Red, Dead  is a page-turner is an understatement. You will fall in love with Kiki—whose fearlessness would make her intimidating, were she not so adorable. Plus, her delectable romance with Detective Chad would provide a delightful relief—if it weren’t so steamy. The duo's tension heats up ever-so subtly. Fans of feel-good cozy mysteries, especially funny ones with animals or hobbies, will enjoy this book if they love authors like Alexander McCall Smith, Hope Callaghan, Amy Vansant, CeeCee James, Cindy Bell, Diana Orgain, Tonya Kappes, Brianna Bates, Lois Winston, and Mollie Cox Bryan.  FREE gift--Get your copy of Bad, Memory, Album (full-length digital book) by going here: https://bit.ly/BadMAlbum
