CUT, PASTE, KILL by Marshall Karp

Two Los Angeles police detectives are called to investigate a murder.  A woman was stabbed with a pair of scissors, and a scrapbook of her life was left at the murder scene.  Lomax and Biggs, the two detectives, soon discover that the murder victim was driving drunk and responsible for the death of a young boy--an event that the scrapbook documents thoroughly.  Lomax and Biggs also soon discover that two other murders also had scrapbooks left at the murder scenes, and the murder victims were anything but innocent.

This book, while no great tome,  is a fun read.  Lomax and Biggs are likable, often spouting funny smart remarks.  The ending gives a nice, satisfying twist.
