Bestseller Childs, with the help of Agatha Award–winner Moran (Well Read, Then Dead), has whipped up a frothy concoction for the 14th Scrapbooking mystery (after 2015's Parchment and Old Lace). While shopping at the Winter Market in New Orleans's French Quarter, Carmela Bertrand, owner of the Memory Mine scrapbooking shop, and her BFF, Ava Gruiex, witness the murder of Martin Lash, a restaurant critic who relishes trashing chefs in his reviews. The prime suspect is Carmela's ex-boyfriend, Quigg Brevard, a restaurateur and the victim of one of Lash's scathing reviews. The two men engaged in a loud public confrontation only a few minutes before someone fatally stabbed Lash with a huge serving fork. Quigg, who's convinced that Det. Edgar Babcock, Carmela's current squeeze, has it in for him, begs Carmela to investigate on his behalf. Carmela doesn't want to upset Babcock, but she can't resist trying to clear Quigg and plunges in. Cozy lovers who don't demand a plausible plot will enjoy the colorful characters, crafting tips, the New Orleans setting, and the Cajun recipes. (Oct.)
Scrappy sleuth Carmela Bertrand solves a holiday homicide in New Orleans' French Quarter in the latest Scrapbooking Mystery from the New York Times bestselling author. While strolling through the Winter Market with her best friend Ava, scrapbook shop owner Carmela Bertrand comes upon a dying man stabbed by a serving fork. 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. Before her relationship is the next victim, Carmela needs to find a murderer who had no reservations about punishing the culinary curmudgeon.
