"Scraps of Paper is a well-constructed mystery with just the right mix of good guys and bad guys, with a sprinkling of oddballs and misfits thrown in. Kathryn Meyer Griffin does a nice job of allowing the friendship of the book's two main characters to develop as the story progresses. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good who-done-it, set in a picturesque environment with believable characters. This is the first book in a series the author calls 'The Spookie Town Mysteries'." 5 Stars Reviewed by Michael McManus for Readers' Favorite May 17, 2013 (Second in the series: ALL THINGS SLIP AWAY)
Snippet of NOVELSPOT Review for Scraps of Paper:
"The premise behind this story intrigued me. Old houses have their own history-bad and good. What would you do if, while you were renovating an old house, you found an intriguing mystery, even if it was years old? If you had a chance of solving that mystery, would you? Or would you leave it buried in the past? Would you want someone digging in your past, your tragedies? If someone you loved just disappeared, what would you do?
Kathryn Meyer Griffith's Scraps of Paper is an engaging story of what happens when you go digging into the past and the possible consequences. It also has an underlying story about dealing with what life hands you and finding the strength to move on. Both Frank and Abby are strong characters they have had to deal with the loss of a loved one and to learn to deal with that loss. You find yourself drawn to them and to all the quirky people who live in the little town of Spookie. In the end you want to know what happened in the old house so many years earlier. I'll be looking forward to more books about this quaint little town."

The Story of Scraps of Paper, All Things Slip Away & Ghosts Beneath Us
I originally began writing this Spookie Town Murder Mystery series, set in a quirky little town I called Spookie (a tip of my hat to my horror roots) around 2002. I'd written the first book, Scraps of Paper and in 2006 the second I called All Things Slip Away for Avalon Books as hardcovers. But it took me another 9 years to write and put out the third, Ghosts Beneath Us. Life, as it always does, got in the way-and I was writing my award winning Dinosaur Lake series and overseeing the production of twenty audio books. By then I'd left the legacy publishers far behind and was self-publishing all my books. I still am.
Scraps of Paper is about an artist named Abigail Sutton, whose husband has been missing for two years, and who's just learned he's been dead all that time-a victim of a gone-wrong mugging. She begins a new life and moves to a small town full of fog, quirky townspeople and mysteries. And right away she's drawn into one of her own when she buys, renovates, a fixer-upper house and uncovers hidden in it scraps of paper written by two young children who once lived there with their mother, and who supposedly drove away thirty years before and were never seen again. The town thought they simply went somewhere else; began a new life. But Abigail suspects they never left the house; suspects they'd been murdered. She finds three graves in the back. Of course, with her history of a missing husband she develops the overpowering urge to find out what happened to them. The scraps of paper she continues to find makes the bond, the desire, stronger. She forms a friendship with an ex-homicide cop, Frank, and together they solve the mystery. Only thing is there's someone still living in the town that just as desperately doesn't want them to; someone who'd kill to keep the murderer's identity secret. The next two books are the continuation of Abigail and Frank's sleuthing adventures, their blossoming romance and about the eccentric, lovable people who live in Spookie.
All Things Slip Away zeroes in more on Frank, the ex-homicide detective, as a serial killer from his past threatens their peaceful town of Spookie and both their lives.
Ghosts Beneath Us about the old people in town supposedly being haunted and killed off by...ghosts.
All three are now in paperback and in audio books.

An excellent beginning to the series
By Sean Levin
Disclaimer: The author was kind enough to send me a copy of this excellent book to review. What follows is my honest opinion of same.
Speaking as someone who enjoys mystery novels, I very much enjoyed reading this novel and following the clues along with the protagonist, Abigail Sutton. As the novel continues, the stakes continue to grow higher for Abigail as she investigates the disappearance thirty years before of the previous tenants of the house she has moved into. Griffith does an excellent job of keeping up the suspense all throughout the novel, and I for one found it much more interesting than many of the detective shows on network television these days.
This novel was originally released in 2003 (though internal references place the story itself in 2000), and has only now been re-released by Griffith as an eBook. I am pleased to say that the novel has aged very well, and is totally absent of the jarring differences in language and story structure one sometimes finds in books that are at least a decade old. Indeed, Griffith’s choice of words is simple and direct without being one-dimensional, and she certainly does not skimp on describing characters and settings.
This novel is a most enjoyable read. It is suspenseful, richly detailed, timeless, and keeps you guessing until the very end. I look forward to reading more of Kathryn Meyer Griffith’s work in the future, particularly further entries in this series, including the already-published second novel, All Things Slip Away. This novel earns an enthusiastic five tentacles from this reviewer!

A fine murder mystery well worth reading.
By Aaron J Fletcher
I reviewed this work for MonsterLibrarian.com and am posting the review here per the author's request.
Abigail Sutton had been going through a tough time in her life. Her husband had unexpectedly been killed and she had lost her job as a graphic artist at a local newspaper. It was time to change her life. She ends up settling in an old home, a fixer-upper, in a small town named Spookie. The previous owner, Edna Summers, had been a recluse. An elderly woman who had passed away with no known heirs. Edna's younger sister who had two children had lived there in the distant past. They had left or disappeared thirty years before and had not been seen or heard from since. The stories of their departure vary and Abigail wonders about their fate while she redecorates her new home. She finds a scrap of paper written by one of the kids. It reveals a tale of fear and abuse of their mother by an unnamed man. Unable to let it go she asks some of the local folks around town what they remember about the family so many years before. She meets Frank, a retired Chicago police detective and they begin to dig into the mystery. More scraps of paper are discovered. More questions than answers surface. The local newspaper runs a serialized story on it and the whole town gets involved. Most people are eager to help. Someone is not. Threatening notes, vandalism, break-ins and theft escalate to a life threatening car chase before all is revealed.
This suspenseful tale of a small town disappearance was a lot of fun to read. The author does a great job of weaving small town life into the ongoing thread of the mystery. The characters are well developed and had their own voices throughout. I really enjoyed how the suspense built up during the course of the story. The plot kept you wondering to the end without getting convoluted to distraction. The only criticism I have was more a stylistic issue as it seemed like some of the word choices were peculiar to me in that they were not mainstream enough. The story still worked well though. I have not read any of Kathryn Meyer Griffith's work in the past. I would recommend this tale for adult readers.

okay.
By chloeishere
I finished it, but it's about the same as most free books I've gotten for kindle-- if I'd have paid for it, I would have been disgruntled.
Sentence structure and vocabulary was unsophisticated (felt like it was written by an sixth grader), and if this was supposed to be a mystery, it fell short of the mark (it was obvious who did it from at least halfway through, but I slogged on). If it was supposed to be a romance, it didn't really hit that note, either. Characters were... okay, but not interesting, engaging, or third dimensional. I have no interest in following any of them in another book.
I was able to finish it, but I couldn't say it was enjoyable or made me think. Despite this, it's definitely in the top 10% of the free (non-classic) books I've read on kindle. But I'd be lying if I gave it more than 2 stars.
The lesson I should take from this is I need to stop trying the freebies and stick to books that have been vetted, edited and approved through a traditional publisher. As a voracious reader with limited free time, books like this are a waste of my scarce and precious reading time.
It might be an enjoyable, light read for younger readers (or those with a smaller vocabulary or who are just learning English), but there's sexist stereotypes liberally sprinkled about, and lots of domestic abuse, so I wouldn't suggest it for young or impressionable readers.
