Life in a small town can be slow and lazy, but it can also be a hotbed of gossip! Especially when the fiancé of the town's favorite son is found in bed with her boyfriend's best friend, and the best friend is dead! CUT TO THE CORPSE is the second book in the Decoupage Mystery series by Lucy Lawrence and features Brenna Miller, crafter extraordinaire and a pretty good amateur sleuth to boot. Brenna moved to the small town of Morse Point, Massachusetts to escape a tragic past, but she has found more murder and mayhem in the small town that she ever dreamed possible. When Tara Montgomery and her mother ask Brenna to help with the favors for her wedding to Jake Haywood, Brenna was thrilled to create a special decoupage project just for the couple. But all her hard work might have been for nothing when after a wild night of partying with her bridal party, Tara wakes up to find Jake's best friend Clue dead in the bed next to her and a knife in her hand. Tara turns to Brenna for help in finding out exactly what happened on that fateful night, and to find out who killed Clue -- before Tara's wedding dress turns into prison stripes. With CUT TO THE CORPSE, author Lucy Lawrence has crafted a fun, lighthearted cozy mystery that is one of the cutest stories I've read lately. Her characters are charming and seem like people you would want to get to know yourself. And creating a cozy mystery around a craft as unique and popular as decoupage is imaginative and timely. Lawrence also includes directions for two charming decoupage projects that will delight any fan of crafting.
