Synopsis (Goodreads):
Sunni Taylor is looking forward to an easy and sweetheart filled month of February. After a few blissful months as lead reporter for the Junction Times, an unexpected shake-up at the newspaper leaves her reeling and frustrated. She finds herself once again having to cover mundane stories, like the Firefly Junction Craft Fair. She's not looking forward to endless paragraphs about quilts, pottery and crocheted potholders, but she needs the money to help reach her true goal of opening the Cider Ridge Inn for guests.

When one of the crafters is murdered, the craft fair takes a dark turn. Sunni finds herself in the middle of an investigation. It doesn't take long for Sunni to realize that there's more to the town's artists than clay, yarn and silk flowers.
Thoughts on A Crafty Killing: I've enjoyed this series and I enjoyed this book, but I DO NOT think Sunni or Brady should trust Sunni's new co-worker IN THE SLIGHTEST. Mostly because I think him being where he was to help Sunni was a total fluke and he's not to be trusted. At all. Period. I don't care who he's dating, he's a tool.

So. The newspaper has a new owner and the new situation isn't good for Sunni's blood pressure. FOR REASONS. While she's doing her level best to be gracious about it all (including, but not limited to, that aforementioned coworker), things are in turmoil at work. Which is not ideal. In the least.

Throw in a surprise with the family, a murder at the local craft fair, and Sunni's newly demoted position and...well, like I said, this situation isn't doing much for Sunni's blood pressure. Fortunately for her, she still has Brady and the inn and one (slightly) arrogant ghost to keep her on the straight and narrow.

Like I said, I enjoyed the book, but I DO NOT trust a certain someone with the last name of Crockett. At all.
