There is always something mysterious and magical happening
in New Orleans. And if it involves murder and mayhem, then
you can usually find Carmela Bertrand right in the middle
of the action.
Carmela, owner of Memory Mine Scrapbook shop, and her best
friend, Ava Gruiex, owner of Juju Voodoo, have been
commissioned for a huge project. Their friend, Melody
Mayfeldt, is converting an old mansion, Medusa Manor, into
an unforgettable haunted house for those who flock to New
Orleans for a creepy fix. Melody has recruited Carmela and
Ava to supply the decorative and crafty touches necessary
to make the spooky old house come to life in time for an
upcoming horror convention.
But the house haunting becomes a bit too serious -
especially when upon their arrival to the mansion, Melody's
flaming body comes crashing through a tower window and
landing literally at Carmela and Ava's feet. Someone
specifically wanted Carmela's client very dead, and much to
the chagrin of her boyfriend, Detective Edgar Babcock,
Carmela is going to do her best to find out who it is.
Could the suspect be Melody's husband Garth, who has a
penchant for funeral jewelry? Or could it be her silent
partner Olivia Wainwright? It's up to Carmela to put
together the clues that will help solve the mystery of her
friend's murder.
In TRAGIC MAGIC, the sixth installment of the
Scrapbooking Mystery series, author Laura Childs once again
lays out a story full of intrigue and a bit of spicy New
Orleans fun. Readers can always be assured of finding a
tale of adventure and suspense, as well as delicious
recipes and crafty scrapbooking tips in one of Child's
delightful cozy mysteries. Laura Childs is one of my
absolute favorite authors, and it is always with a great
deal of joy that I recommend one of her books.
The next Scrapbooking mystery takes readers back to
New
Orleans, where there are spookies, foodies-and crafty
killers.
Carmela, owner of Memory Mine
scrapbook
shop, and her best friend, owner of Juju Voodoo, have a
big
project. Melody Mayfeldt is converting an old mansion in
the
Faubourg-Marigny district into an unforgettable haunted
house for those who flock to New Orleans for a creepy
fix.
She needs Carmela's crafty touch to make the Medusa Manor
come to life in time for the upcoming horror convention.
But Melody takes her house haunting too
seriously-especially when her flaming body comes crashing
through a tower window to 'welcome' them to the job. Sure
there's been an increased trend in murder lately, but
someone specifically wanted Carmela's client very dead.
Carmela's in some deep gumbo again and needs to crop out
a
killer from the throngs of people flocking to New
Orleans.
Then maybe it won't be so hard living in the Big Easy.
