Keepsake Crimes introduces Carmela Bertrand and her booming scrapbooking shop, Memory Mine, on the fringe of New Orleans's French Quarter. When Carmela's estranged husband is named a suspect in a Mardi Gras murder, it is Carmela who must find the clues to the real killer-in one of her customer's scrapbooks.
In Photo Finished, Carmela is hosting a late-night "Crop Till You Drop" session at her shop. But when a neighboring shop owner is murdered in the alley behind the store, Carmela's customers become the focus of the police investigation.
And finally, in Bound for Murder, Carmela is creating custom place settings for a wedding party when she discovers the groom with a knife protruding from his body. Carmela must help the bride pick up the pieces while wrapping up a murder with more than one lethal loose end.

Death by Design (Scrapbooking Series #1-3)
Another book from the TBR pile has been read. Only a couple hundred more to go....
My mom picked this book up for me a couple of years ago. She thought I might find the scrapbooking theme enjoyable given the number of years we've been scrapbooking together. Let's see...the oldest is 18 and I received a blank scrapbook for him at my baby shower. I probably started it the year after he was born, so let's say I've been scrapbooking for at least 17 years. No wonder I have so many albums on the shelf!
The scrapbooking theme was unique. I've certainly never read any other cozy mysteries with that particular hook. However, I will admit there were times I wanted to skip some of the more scrapbook-heavy descriptions and get back to the mystery at hand. Reading every word took discipline, which is part of the reason why this is getting a three star review. The other reason was that I just didn't connect with the main character. I couldn't reconcile the fact that the supposed feisty amateur sleuth was, in truth, a lovesick jilted wife who accepted her estranged husband's rather sub-par treatment of her with so little spine.
The mysteries themselves - there were three separate stories in this bound collection - were fairly well done, I thought. Although I wonder if a reader more well versed in cozy mysteries would have a different opinion. I don't read in this genre often.
