Weekly Finds: 3/13/10

Tragic Magic - A Scrapbooking Mystery by Laura Childs: won from a blog contest.

From the inside cover: New Orleans is bursting with events for everyone from spookies to foodies.  But when a local ghost-hunter-turned-entrepreneur is extinguished, it's up to a crafty Carmel Bertrand to unmask the killer...

Carmela, owner of Memory Mine scrapbooking shop, and her best friend Ava Gruiex, owner of Juju Voodoo, have a big project ahead.  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 - and evoke the dead - in time for the upcoming horror convention, DiscordaCon.

But Melody takes her house haunting a little too seriously - especially when her flaming body coms crashing through a tower window to welcome Carmela and Ava to the job...

Someone wanted Carmela's client dead - very dead.  Carmela's in some deep gumbo again and needs to crop out a killer from the throngs of people there for DiscordaCon and the big Galleries and Gourmets celebration.  Then maybe it won't be so hard living in the Big Easy...
