Synopsis

DUMPSTER DIVING FOR HER LOST PAYCHECK IS DEFINITELY THE LOW POINT OF KIKI LOWENSTEIN'S DAY—THAT IS, UNTIL SHE FINDS A SEVERED LEG IN THE TRASH.

Who'd toss a body part in the garbage outside of Time in a Bottle, the crafts store where Kiki works?

Accompanying the grisly "gift" is a creepy computerized voice message, a warning to the store's "rich and snotty" female shoppers. Kiki soon discovers that the amputated leg belonged to a customer with a tyrannical and violent husband, a powerful man in the community. And that jerk is now harassing Kiki.

Kiki decides she's had enough. She can't wait passively on the sidelines. Combing through the customer's scrapbook projects for hidden clues, Kiki takes it on herself to find the killer.

Meanwhile, drama inside the crafts store builds to a fevered pitch. Kiki keeps trying to make friends with her new co-worker. Why is the other girl so stand-offish? Kiki's feelings and her ego are wounded. In fact, the pain is deep enough to lead Kiki into temptation. And that brings out the worst in our spunky heroine. Can Kiki make amends in time to save her job? And figure out whether her abused customer is missing in action or dead as a doornail?

Goodreads review by Linda

This one seemed a bit darker than some of the other books in the series and maybe it's just because it was dealing with domestic abuse.
