I keep reading these, hoping they'll get better... after all, they are about scrapbooking! But unfortunately I keep getting disappointed. If the editing errors ("summersault??")and sentence fragments don't get you, the ridiculous plot will.
The biggest letdown? Laura Childs is a pretty good writer. Her prose flows and the descriptions are fun and colorful. I suggest she get a better editor, one who actually does his or her job.

This is the fourth book in the scrapbooking series, about Carmela and her scrapbooking store in New Orleans, post Katrina. She is back with her no good husband Shamus, who gets kidnapped. Carmela is chasing out the door screaming then runs to her uncle-in-law's house for help only to discover that he is dead! So, using her skills she finds Shamus (but gets yelled at by the police), and trys to solve the murder. Pretty good story. Next book is called Frill Kill.

Love Laura Childs books! This one was fun as always, light reading but don't like to put it down till it's over. I didn't try any of the recipes in this one but they look good.

Totally harmless fluff -- light mystery with New Orleans setting. Good for a long, hot tub bath reading session!
