Kiki Lowenstein and the Cupcake Caper by Joanna Campbell Slan

Last year, I read Joanna Campbell Slan's novel Cut, Crop & Die, which is a Kiki Lowenstein Scrap-N-Craft Mystery novel. I really enjoyed reading Cut, Crop & Die as I love cozy mystery novels and enjoy scrapbooking myself. So, Cut, Crop & Die appealed to me for this reason.

When I recently came across the free eBook version of Kiki Lowenstein and the Cupcake Caper by Joanna Campbell Slan on Amazon, I couldn't wait to download it and read it as soon as possible! Kiki Lowenstein and the Cupcake Caper is a novella.

For me personally, Kiki Lowenstein and the Cupcake Caper wasn't a huge hit. I prefer the full length novels featuring Kiki Lowenstein verses the short stories or novellas. I feel like the short stories and novellas, don't contain as much substance as the full length novels. 

I'm giving Kiki Lowenstein and the Cupcake Caper a rating of 3 stars out of 5 stars. 

The pros:

* Fast, fun read
* Cozy mystery
* Fun characters
* More insight on the lives of other characters
* Happy ending
* A craft project & homemade doggie treat recipe at the end

The cons:

* Typos. This novella needs editing work.
* Story was too short in length.
* Wish the sneak peak of next read was left out

In the future, I'll continue reading the full length novels featuring Ms. Lowenstein and skip the novellas and short stories.
