Description

Rachel Cooper has life under control: good job, good friends, and good plans for the future. All of that collapses one early morning when she falls and breaks her ankle. Now she must face the horrors of preparing for an upcoming move and handling her tenth year of teaching while clomping around on crutches.

Worse, somewhere in the shadows, the Memento Killer lurks—a serial murderer who stalks women with four anonymous gifts before moving in for the kill. When unexpected presents begin arriving on Rachel’s doorstep, she fears that she'll soon be crutching for her life.

Collapsible. A novel of friendship, broken bones, coffee, shenanigans, and the occasional murder.

The first book in a series, so though the main plot was nicely wrapped up, many small threads were left for the next book -- which I'll definitely be reading too!

Collapsible is a fun twist on the cozy mystery genre.
Rachel Cooper is an odd character, I like her a lot, but she is very high maintenance and while I did enjoy the book, I found myself wanting to slap her.

After a fall, Rachel breaks her ankle and this sets her crankiness level up to high. She is a school teacher and it is the end of the school year and the last thing Rachel wants or needs is to have to clump around in a cast.
This is where her whining got on my nerves. She wanted everyone to wait on her hand and foot and sadly enough, her best friend is willing to do it.

It seems that there is a "Memento Killer" on the prowl and Rachel believes that she is the next victim.

I think the story was good and the writing was well done. Rachel has the potential to become a great character, I am nit sure if I would call this a cozy mystery though, as it borders on the romance/fiction genre more.
I read an ARC of this book provided by the publisher and NetGalley.

Collapsible, what an enjoyable story. You feel so sorry for the main character. If you see her life you will see what a catastrophic life it is. She is one of those people if something bad was to happen it would happen to her. After she breaks her legthen she is more paranoid that the Momento Killer is going to target her. She is so convinced in that. Then all of a sudden something disastrous happens to her. If you would like to read a good mystery read this book, it is so worth your time. The one thing that is very important to me is that she trusts the LORD through all that she is going through.

Collapsible is a well crafted mystery. The book has a great plot and believable characters. The author has a way of pulling you immediately into the plot. I highly recommend to readers who enjoy a great whodunit.

I really enjoyed this books that starts with a broken ankle, includes a serial killer in the background, and a couple of mysterious guys. The writing is easy to read with a nice flow. The mystery moves at a nice pace. There is enough description that allowed me to visualize the school and the area without slowing down the story line.

I also liked the way the characters interacted and look forward to watching them continue to grow.
