Cozy Review: Crepe Factor (A Scrapbooking Mystery)

I've finished "Crepe Factor" the 14th book in her Scrapbooking Mystery series by Laura Childs.

Product Description

The Winter Market in the French Quarter is in full swing, but murder isn’t taking a holiday in the latest from the New York Times bestselling author of Parchment and Old Lace.

The holidays are a busy time for scrapbook shop owner 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.

My Review:


It's really obvious that Quigg hasn't gotten over Carmela and it's quite hilarious when Quigg puts the moves on Carmela and she can't seem to reject his advances!

I believe Martin Lash was too harsh in his criticism in his restaurant reviews and someone took it personally!
