In the fourteenth book of the Scrapbooking
Mystery series, Laura Childs
dazzles and delights with Marcela and Ava's latest murder
to pop up in New
Orleans. During the Winter Festival, a heated argument is
seen between
Martin Lash, a tough restaurant critic and Marcela's ex.
Then, later on,
Marcela and Ava witness Lash stumbling to his death. The
murder weapon is
a fork and all eyes immediately turn to Marcela's ex even
though he claims
he wasn't the one who did it.
Since Marcela's boyfriend, Edgar Bobcock, is the lead
investigator for Lash's
murder, her ex tries to get her to help him clear his name
but that means
going behind her boyfriend's back. Will Marcela be able to
figure it out before
her boyfriend finds out what she's been up to?
I absolutely loved CREPE FACTOR. From beginning to the end,
this book hooks you
in and takes you on a grand ride. Humor and suspense are
balance well in
this book, creating the perfect harmony for a fun-filled
journey. If you're new
to cozy mysteries, this is a great series to get you started
on the genre.
Childs creates an inviting atmosphere that is perfect for
new readers willing
to try something different. CREPE FACTOR is certainly a must
read for every
mystery lover.

Carmela Bertrand—but not so hectic that she doesn’t have
time to enjoy browsing the booths at the Winter Market with
her best friend Ava. The last thing the ladies expect to see
is a lurching man stabbed by a serving fork, dying in front
of them.
The victim is loathed restaurant critic Martin Lash, who
posted his scathing reviews on the Glutton for Punishment
website. And the prime suspect is New Orleans restauranteur
Quigg Brevard—who was seen giving the critic a
tongue-lashing minutes before someone stuck a fork in him.
An old flame of Carmela, Quigg asks for her help, which does
not please her current beau, Detective Edgar Babcock, to say
the least.
Before her relationship is the next victim, Carmela needs to
find a murderer who had no reservations about punishing the
culinary curmudgeon...
