Jennifer Shane has two older siblings. Her brother is the
sheriff and her sister owns a successful scrapbooking
business in their small town of Rebel Forge, Virginia.
Jennifer originally tried to set up her cardmaking business
with her sister, but she knew right away it wasn't going to
work. As much as Jennifer loves her older brother and
sister, she's ready to stand on her own two feet and make
her own decisions, which means she has to speak up for
herself with these two loving, but intrusive siblings. So,
Jennifer decides to open her own business.
On Jennifer's first day of business, she gets a contract to
design wedding invitations, as well as a misdialed phone
call from a young woman who begs for her help so that a
woman doesn't kill her. Jennifer listens helplessly as the
woman says she's about to be murdered, screams, and then
the phone line goes dead.
Startled and nervous, Jennifer tells her brother about the
call. Before long, a body is discovered, and Jennifer
receives a note warning her to back off. But Jennifer knows
she must help solve this murder as someone has personally
involved her. Jennifer's sister moves in with her and her
brother assigns someone to watch her, leaving Jennifer
feeling overly protected. She asks her vivacious aunt to
assist her in the card shop so she can snoop around on her
own, but her aunt wants to help, too.
Jennifer discovers that the victim was to be the maid-of-
honor in the very wedding she's designing invitations for.
With a clue she discovers near the victim, Jennifer uses
the process of elimination to run through the list of
potential culprits she and her aunt have drawn up.
INVITATION TO MURDER is a first-person account of
Jennifer's loving and humorous family, an ex-boyfriend who
wants to protect her, and a few creepy guys along the way.
Bright amuses her readers with spunky humor, as well as
treating us to card-making tips throughout the story. This
is a light, refreshing mystery good for any summer evening.
Jennifer Shane's brainchild of a shop, Custom Card
Creations, hasn't been all glitter and tinsel. Customers
are scarce and-after finally landing a client-Jennifer
hears a murder over the phone. And when she receives a
threatening note, it's clear someone has designs on her
life, too. Now, between holding cardmaking lessons, trying
to scissor her ex-fiancé out of her life, and piecing
together a murder, Jennifer has really got her work cut out
for her.
