A Murder or Two...Laura Childs' Death Swatch is the latest addition to her 'scrapbooking' mystery series. Amateur sleuth and scrapbook store owner, Carmela Bertrand must deal with a neighbor's ghastly murder in the excitement -- and wildness -- of Mardi Gras! Who dunnit? Was it a rival float builder or a mob hit? Nobody knows. Scraps of clues and theories weave the plot together.
Motif for Murder takes place after Hurricane Katrina in Carmela's store, Memory Mine. Even after a reconciliation with her ex-husband, Shamus, Carmela's family problems are not over. Shamus is kidnapped, Uncle Henry is shot, and her sister-in-law throws her out of the house. Is there a clue to the murder in Carmela's keepsake scrapbook dedicated to Uncle Henry?
Frill Kill features a Halloween celebration at Memory Mine, the scrapbooking store. A celebrated model is found murdered in back of a dumpster. Who did it and why? Plentiful clues are sprinkled throughout the story.
