Mar 17, Elizabeth rated it liked it Shelves: This is book 1 in the Card Making Mystery but I had red 2 first. I really enjoyed the 2nd book but I was a little disappointed in this one. The way Jennifer and her aunt go about finding which of their suspects had alibis just didn't seem in the realm of something that would really happen. But it was still an enjoyable book and I like the main characters.

I also make cards so I enjoy reading about what goes into running a craft store. Mar 10, Patty rated it really liked it. What a fun first book in a series. This is also a first book by this author for me, although Elizabeth Bright is actually Tim Myers I haven't read any of his other books.

I think he has hooked me with this one so I'll be reading others. Jennifer has just opened her own card making shop when she receives a wrong number phone call for "Donna". While Jenn is trying to explain that the person has a wrong number the female caller lets out a blood curdling scream and the phone goes dead. Jenn calls her What a fun first book in a series.

Jenn calls her brother, the sheriff, and the mystery begins. Who called, who was she afraid of, who is Donna, and once the body is found, who wanted her dead? There are card making tips included in the book which is interesting and we get a chance to meet Jenn's family including her Aunt who is a unique lady but is currently volunteering to help Jenn get her new business started.

This was a fun and quick read for me, now looking forward to more in the series. Nov 29, Nytetyger rated it it was amazing Shelves: This is, again, another start to another new cozy mystery series. The setting this time is in yet another small town, where the female protagonist owns a brand new shop devoted to the making of greeting cards, and the selling of the fancy ones she makes on her own.

Her first day, sitting at the counter, she gets a wrong number that haunts her—sounds like someone is begging for help and then is murdered. She tells her brother who is of course the sheriff of the small town, but he dismisses it, This is, again, another start to another new cozy mystery series. She tells her brother who is of course the sheriff of the small town, but he dismisses it, at least until a murdered woman is found in an abandoned house.

Our heroine decides to solve what happened, especially when she starts getting threatening letters telling her to forget she ever got the call at work, and a similar warning at her apartment. There are the requisite goofy relatives, oddball friends, and craft ideas, as well as a really decent plot, making for a rather decent read and the decision to get books two and three!

Mar 05, Veronica Noechel rated it really liked it. What a fun start to a mystery series. Not so much a nail biter, but more of a romp with a group of likeable characters I wouldn't mind hanging out with in real life. Again, I fell behind on my reviews, so I'm lacking some detail. One drawback I seem to recall was that the story plays a bit fast and loose with the protagonist's investigative techniques which I thought might be pretty easy to spot by the antagonist.

There were things she did that would make her an easy mark for any nefarious kille What a fun start to a mystery series. There were things she did that would make her an easy mark for any nefarious killer yet these mistakes slid by without consequence. I kept waiting for the killer to show up and be like, "Oh come on. I know it's you. But hey, it's the first book in the series and I was ready to read the next as soon as I closed the cover on this one. That's what really matters. Oct 28, Julie Fetcho rated it it was amazing.

A fun quick cozy with a few laughs. Jennifer Shane opens a new card making shop a couple doors down from her sister's scrapbooking store. Customers are scarce and Jennifer jumps at a ladies request to do wedding invitations. Then she receives a phone call where she hears a women being killed.

Between Jennifer and her aunt Lillian they hunt for clues as to who killed the woman on the other end of the phone. I enjoyed this book. It was a nice cozy, featuring a card making shop and its owner, Jennifer Shane. She is assisted by her Aunt Lillian, who is a little eccentric, and adds some charm to the story.

I also enjoy the interaction between Jennifer and her brother, Bradford and her sister, Sarah Lynn. The relationship between Jennifer's brother and their aunt is interesting, also. Looking forward to the next in the series. Dec 27, Mascanlon rated it liked it Shelves: This is a book by cozy writer Tim Myers. The protagonist Jennifer Shane takes a leap of faith and opens her own cardmaking shop in a small town. Her first big customer is Bridezilla herself well actually its Bridezilla, Mother of the Bride. Who turns up dead and how Jennifer begins to build a clientele of friends and sleuths makes for a fun read.

The digital edit was awful though and I certainly hope its cleaned up in the next book.

Invitation to Murder

I'll give them one more chance! Pleasant cozy mystery with a card making shop as its base location. Nice card making tips included. Light mystery and fun reading. Good family interactions and relationships. I was given a copy by the most recent publisher for review. It seemed familiar as I was reading it, but I had to continue to the end to see whodunnit.

Apr 08, Nadine rated it really liked it. Jennifer is an independent young adult trying to make it on her own with a new greeting card-making shop. She hears a murder over the phone and soon realizes that it was one of the bridesmaids for which she is designing and making the wedding invitations.

Jennifer Shane opens up a card making shop in the same town where her sister owns a scrapbooking store and their brother is the sheriff. I think we can. It didn't help that I was bored or that the main character is apparently just so great that her ex-boyfriend wants to date her again, a I only got halfway through the book, but had to quit when the main character gets huffy when asked out on a date by her new neighbor. It didn't help that I was bored or that the main character is apparently just so great that her ex-boyfriend wants to date her again, a deputy is stalking her, and then there's the new guy in her building that she's blowing off.

Please, I couldn't read another word and keep a straight face. When I read a cozy, I want to read a murder mystery, not a someone's idea of how great it would be to be so desirable to men that they just follow her around like puppies or mad dogs, take your pick.

Deadly Greetings (A Card Making Mystery, #2) by Elizabeth Bright

Nov 29, Nytetyger rated it really liked it Shelves: The author tends to go a bit far into the wacky, but stops herself before she goes too far. All in all, another nice read and a mental note has been added to get further books in the series as they come out.

Dec 05, Joyce rated it really liked it. Enjoyed this book although there were some parts that seemed to drag a bit, more detail than I cared to have at the moment - guess in the long run it explained how everyone interacted with each other. Was a fun read and we all know how the romance part ended.
