Tragic Magic (A Scrapbooking Mystery) (Hardcover)
I've just finished reading "Tragic Magic" the 7th book in her Scrapbooking Mystery series by Laura Childs.
Product Description
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.
My Review:
Storyline: I really enjoyed this cozy mystery and the storyline was believable.
Characters: The characters were well written and I thought Carmela & Ava reminds me of Columbo because they seem to
Romance: I enjoyed the romance between Carmela & her Detective boyfriend Edgar. It was sweet and it's true that he can't really tell her much about the case.
Killer(s): The killer was a complete surprise never would have suspected that person.
5/5
