Fiber & Brimstone (A Scrapbooking Mystery) [Hardcover]


I've finished "Fiber and Brimstone" the 8th book in her Scrapbooking series by Laura Childs.

Product Description

It's Halloween in New Orleans-and the festivities are going to be killer.

With the help of her best friend Ava, Carmela Bertrand is building a giant monster puppet for the Halloween Monsters & Mayhem parade. Things get terrifying earlier than expected when they overhear an argument between Jekyl Hardy and Brett Fowler - and just minutes later they find Fowler's dead body.

Carmela has known Jekyl for years and can't believe he'd ever resort to murder, despite the fact that Fowler owed him money. But when another victim is discovered - who also had an unfriendly relationship with Jekyl - Carmela is convinced someone is framing her friend and now must find a way to unmask the real killer.

My Review:
 
Storyline:  To find out who killed Brett Fowler by using a Minotaur mask and why! 

Characters:  I really like Carmela because she's always finding a dead body and is determined to intrude in her boyfriend's Edger Babcock cases. He always warns her to stay out of it because she's always getting into danger!  She tries to convince Babcock that Jekyl is innocent!

Romance:  The romance between Carmela and Babcock is very sweet!  They are on the outs in this case because he believes Jekyl is one of the guilty parties!  Ava happens to be starting a new romance herself.

Killer:  I wish we knew more about the killer!

4.5/5
