A Scrapbooking Mystery
BY LAURA CHILDS
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Carmela Bertrand knows that Halloween in New Orleans means a
week of rabble-rousing, costumed craziness—and she
can’t wait to get the party started. But when a local
antiques dealer turns up dead, Carmela suddenly finds
herself in a real-life danse macabre…
An evening’s work deciding on the class schedule for her scrapbooking shop has put Carmela in the mood to kick up her heels. But after some strange noises draw her into Oddities, the neighboring antiques shop, Carmela’s night is abruptly put on hold when a bloody body falls out of a curio cabinet—and into her arms.
While shop owner Marcus Joubert was known for being an eccentric with a penchant for eclectic merchandise, Carmela never thought he was the kind of man who could inspire the passion required to kill. But when Marcus’s assistant—and fiancĂ©e—Mavis reveals that a priceless death mask was also stolen, it becomes clear that murder wasn’t the culprit’s sole intention.

Carmela can’t resist the urge to investigate the
growing mystery, but as the list of suspects increases, she
realizes it’ll take every trick in the book to unmask
the killer thief before there’s another night of
murderous mischief…
