    About this series

    When Time in a Bottle, St. Louis's premiere craft store, is slated for demolition, Kiki is forced to confront her deep-rooted aversion to change. But before she can move, the new building must be made ADA compliant.



    When a long-sealed wall is breached during renovations, a grim secret is revealed—a baby's body hidden within its confines. Determined to uncover the truth and provide closure for the innocent life lost, Kiki becomes entangled in a whirlwind investigation that spans decades. With her unyielding spirit and tenacious curiosity, she unravels a web of secrets, deceit, and heartbreak that has haunted this house for years.



    As Kiki investigates, she finds herself immersed in a poignant tale of love, loss, and the long shadow of war crimes. With the relentless approach of the pandemic, Kiki must navigate not only the mysteries of the past but also the challenges of an uncertain present, where lives are at stake and time is running out.



    In the midst of her pursuit for justice, Kiki finds her own personal life entangled in unexpected twists and turns. She learns that embracing change may be the key to unlocking the answers she seeks and finding the courage to forge a new path forward.

      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. 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! Passive Kiki transforms herself into a fighter, walking right out of her luxurious life and into a scrapbooking store, where she 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. 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. Kiki has to fight for all she holds dear, and she 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.

    Joanna Campbell Slan

    RT Reviews has called Joanna Campbell Slan “one of mystery’s rising stars,” and it’s easy to see why. She’s the award-winning and national bestselling author of three mystery series. Her first series, the Kiki Lowenstein Mystery series, was an Agatha Award Finalist, and features ace scrapbooker Kiki Lowenstein. Previous to writing fiction, Joanna penned seven scrapbooking technique books and wrote for Creating Keepsakes, Memory Makers, and PaperKuts. She has taught scrapbooking online, on cruises, and in Europe, as well as here in the US. Her historical mystery series–The Jane Eyre Chronicles–starts where Charlotte Bronte’s classic left off. Reviewers have said, “For readers who love Jane Eyre, she lives on in Joanna Campbell Slan.” Joanna also is under contract for two other mystery series yet to be released. In her past life, Joanna was a television talk show host, an adjunct professor of public relations, a sought-after motivational speaker, and a corporate speechwriter. She is the mother of Michael Slan, a professional poker player, and she is married to David Slan, CEO of Steinway Piano Gallery-DC. The Slans and their dog, Jax, make their home on Jupiter Island, Florida.
