SCRAPBOOKING TIPS AND RECIPES INCLUDED.
For Carmela Bertrand, a New Orleans shop owner who can turn any scrapbook into a treasure, this Halloween will feature more than the usual scares. On her way home from a ghoulish gathering, Carmela finds the dead body of a model—and is then attacked herself. Her leads are many, including animal tooth marks on the deceased's neck. And as the witching hour draws closer, Carmela must find what's lurking in the shadows—or get the fright of her life.
Memory Mine shop owner Carmela Bertrand finds herself caught up in New Orleans Halloween mayhem in Childs's sprightly fifth scrapbooking mystery (after 2006's Motif for Murder). In an alley behind her friend Ava Grieux's Juju Voodoo Shop, Carmela discovers the body of fashion model Amber Lalique, who was in the shop only moments earlier. The cops suspect Giovanni, Ava's sexy new tarot card reader, whose brother, Santino, is Amber's ex-boyfriend. Carmela and Ava become determined to uncover the truth and throw themselves headlong into danger, filling in as models for the big Halloween night unveiling of Moda Chadron's newest fashion creations, snooping around New Orleans and even venturing into the creepy bayou. Childs rounds out the story with several scrapbooking and crafting tips plus a passel of mouth-watering Louisiana recipes. (Oct.)

Frill Kill (Scrapbooking Series #5)
Another adventure for Carmela and her friend Ava. Carmela finds a body, becomes a fashion model and puts herself in danger to solve the crime. As always, recipes (some of which I may try) and scrapping hints.
I tend to blow hot or cold on this series. This entry (#5) was a good one. The mystery was interesting, the murderer was neither typecast or broadcasted (I was surprised) but it made sense.
Ava continues to be over the top (it gets worse in future installments, but she was not too bad this time) and I don't get the character of Glory at all (Shamus's sister), but in this one, it came in small bits and was easy to overlook and ignore.
The book takes place at Halloween, my fav holiday, which was fun, and the victim has teeth marks on her neck. Werewolf? While no one believes a supernatural entity is at work, it lent a different vibe to the story.
Certainly the book kept my interest, and I enjoyed the ending.
