A runner disappears under mysterious circumstances. Nobody suspects murder, except Lacy. And she knows if - or, more likely, when - the body turns up, all fingers will be pointing at her.
How do you outpace a corpse, outwit a scissor-wielding maniac, outrun a handsome detective, and prove not only Whodunit but Howdunit?
Let the race begin…
Lacy Purdy loves her new town, her new job, and her old cat, Meatball. And she loves to run.
This summer, she'll be running for her life.
A phantom lurks in the shadows of Run For It, the local running store, terrorizing an unpopular run group leader with an arsenal of sharp, shiny scissors. Lacy can't stand mean-girl Marlene and everybody knows it, so when she mysteriously disappears in the middle of a run, Lacy suspects foul play.
Everyone else suspects Lacy.
Enter Ruby Maplethorpe, an acerbic senior citizen who befriends Lacy and her feisty friend, Stax, an indie bookseller. Ruby warns that someone in their circle is not who they seem, and they'll need her help if they want to stay one stride ahead of both the killer and the law.
And she should know about murder, because Ruby is none other than classic mystery novelist Pearl Oakley, who spent a lifetime devising her own intricate plots. Finding herself cast as a character in someone else's story, Ruby's more than happy to accept the challenge.
But Lacy isn't sure if Ruby is reading the clues correctly, or if the course they're on is rocketing them towards a final solution or a dead(ly) end.
Join the running store ladies - Lacy, Ruby, and Stax - in a race against time to unmask a diabolical killer before Lacy becomes the prime suspect.... or the next victim. Running from Scissors is the first adventure in the deliciously-addictive new Running Store Mystery series by T.C. Wescott. If you love funny, twisty pause-resisters with cuddly cats, book stores, impossible murders, midnight rambles, and cozy environs brimming with mystery, then you will love RFS.

Very well written and beautifully narrated cozy about a lady named Lacy. She runs. You'd never think that could be a dangerous sport, but once Marlene turns up dead, things get crazy!
I think it's a fun, light, and super entertaining read, and I definitely recommend it to all cozy lovers! :)

Heroine is Lacy Purdy, she’s a divorced 45 yr old .that lives in Cedar Hill near Tulsa OK . Lacy Is very active she loves running and taking parts in clubs around town . She decided to join a running group called Run For It which is owned by Marti and Chase Reynolds. Even thought she’s active she doesn’t have a steady partner. She doesn’t feel right dating .

There is no profanity or sexual content. It does have some mild violence but that is to be expected.
I would highly recommend it. Looking forward to the next book

There are three main characters in this listen - Lacy, Stats and Ruby. I have to admit, I loved Ruby, the eldest and a former mystery writer, the best.
This was a fun listen and the setting in the running community was a nice change. I liked that the three amateurs got involved with solving the murder but the author did it without making the police seem inept. ( I seriously hate when they do that.)
The whodunnit, the whydunnit, and the howdunnit was the stuff of legends!
I liked the narration. This was a murder mystery but it had a lightness to it that the narrator captured very well.
I'm glad to see that there is another book on deck. The three sleuths were fun.
Nice start to a series
