JUST BECAUSE HER HUSBAND'S NAKED, DEAD, AND IN A HOTEL BED...
... it might not be what it seems. But there's that scarf in his mouth. Of course it is.

Given the situation, Kiki Lowenstein can't help remembering that her (late) husband got her pregnant while cheating on his girlfriend.

True, he did the right thing at the time, and their much-loved daughter Anya is now eleven years old. But suddenly he's dead, and Kiki's financially embarrassed -- that jerk disinherited his own family!

Time for the timid to toughen up. Passive Kiki transforms herself into a fighter, walking right out of her luxurious life and into a scrapbooking store, where she deftly turns a hobby into a moneymaker. Her new gig goes slightly awry when her late husband's not-so-ex-girlfriend insults her in public, but that's just the beginning. The hurts keep piling up. How much can one woman stand?

As her husband's secret life explodes before her eyes, Kiki discovers that their daughter has a shocking secret of her own. Then the cops come for Kiki. And Family Services comes for Anya. No more Mrs. Nice Guy. Kiki has to fight for all she holds dear, and her quest must start with tracking down her late husband's killer. Hope arrives for Kiki in the twin forms of a hot, homicide detective and her own newfound ability to cope.

Paper, Scissors, Death was an Agatha Award Finalist. It is the kind of mystery that keeps you turning the pages just to spend time with the characters, who somehow make you feel this could be you if your life turned upside down -- and make you hope you'd turn it around as gracefully. Joanna Campbell Slan's first Kiki Lowenstein mystery showcases the author's delightful gift for turning life's most dismal moments into humor, yet making us feel there's hope for us all, even at the darkest of times

While this can be read as a stand-alone, you'll enjoy it more if you first read LOVE, DIE, NEIGHBOR.
