Big city girl escapes her past by moving to an idyllic New England small town only to find that small town jealousies can be just as dangerous as urban life. Brenna Miller is the plucky heroine of this new series unraveling the mystery and mayhem amid the quirky inhabitants of Morse Point. The decoupage theme centers around Vintage Papers, the fine paper shop where Brenna works with her former college roommate. It's a charming page-turner plot with a great setting, appealing characters, decoupage tips/tricks, plus the author's special blend of snarky fun humor!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful New England Cozy, October 26, 2009

Lucy Lawrence has created a wonderful cozy mystery.
Set in a sleepy New England town, things begin to heat up
when the mayor is found dead.
Who, what, when and why, are some of the questions, Brenna Miller
tries to figure out in order to save her landlord and friends.
This mystery is full of zany neighbors. I dare say we all have a few
of these characters in our own town, I imagine.
I enjoyed this mystery, and hope others give this cozy mystery
a chance to wiggle its way into your heart.
Also,the decoupage crafts seem something that I myself would love to try.

5.0 out of 5 stars stuck on murder, September 21, 2009

"Stuck on Murder" is the first in a new cozy series with decoupage as the theme. Breanna Miller moves to a small New England town to forget her past in Boston but somehow stumbles across the dead body of the major. To make matters worse, Breanna's landlord, Nate, recently had a very public feud with the major, making Nate the prime suspect. Breanna plays sleuth in an attempt to clear her landlord's name.

Anyone who loves New England or small town cozies will probably like "Stuck on Murder." You don't need to like decoupage to enjoy this mystery either; the cast of characters & the town make the story.
