Review - Death of a Schoolgirl

Death of a Schoolgirl by Joanna Campbell Slan

Being a fan of Joanna Campbell Slan’s Kiki Lowenstein mysteries, I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to review Death of a Schoolgirl before it is released.


I wasn’t sure what to expect, since this book was from a different time then the Kiki Lowenstein mysteries.  I was drawn in to the book immediately.  As I read the book, I began to feel I knew the characters and could relate to them.  The lengths Jane Eyre Rochester went to, in order to help not only her husband’s ward Adele, but the other girls at the boarding school was quite impressive.  Jane was quite the determined detective.  Along the way she also discovered that good friends could be found in unlikely places.  I found myself not wanting the book to end and when it did, hoping another would be in the works.

You can find Death of a Schoolgirl here:  Amazon and Barnes & Noble

Review of Ready, Scrap, Shoot (A Kiki Lowenstein Scrap-N-Craft Mystery) by Joanna Campbell Slan

I was the lucky winner on Joanna Campbell Slan’s Facebook page of her book that is due out April 8, 2012. 

I have read all of the previous Kiki Lowenstein Scrap-N-Craft Mysteries and had been impatiently waiting to read this new one, I was beyond excited that I won a copy before it was available to buy!  

Joanna’s new book did not disappoint me.  I couldn’t wait to turn the page and find out what happens.  The characters are colorful and come to life on the pages.  Joanna makes it easy to become immersed in the lives of the characters and relate to what is happening in their lives.   Joanna also includes scrapbook tips and recipes in the books.  

I won’t give any details to the book, as I don’t want to ruin it for you.  But I highly recommend this book.  And if you haven’t read the previous ones, you should start there; it will give you a good insight to who the characters are.

Here is a list of Joanna’s other Kiki Lowenstein Scrap-N-Craft Mysteries; so you don’t miss any!

All I can say is, “Hurry up Joanna, I can’t wait to read the next one!”
