Spotlight/Book Giveaway: Parchment and Old Lace by Laura Childs with Terrie Farley Moran

Labels: ,


About the Book

Genre: Cozy Mystery, #13 in A Scrapbooking Mystery Series
Publisher: Berkley Prime Crime Mystery
Release Date: October 2015

Synopsis from Goodreads...

The New York Times bestselling author of Gossamer Ghost returns to the Big Easy and the historic Garden District, where scrapbook shop owner Carmela Bertrand discovers a bride-to-be murdered in the legendary Lafayette Cemetery…

Carmela couldn’t imagine a finer evening than dinner at Commander’s Palace with her beau, Detective Edgar Babcock. The food and the company are equally divine—with the exception of Isabelle Black stopping by to brag about her upcoming wedding. Resuming the romance with a walk in the evening air, the couple is interrupted once again—this time by a terrifying scream from inside the cemetery.

Having just seen Isabelle, Carmela and Edgar now find her lying across an aboveground tomb, strangled to death with a piece of vintage lace. Carmela would rather leave the investigating to Edgar, but she can’t say no to Isabelle’s sister Ellie, the tarot card reader at Juju Voodoo, when she asks her to help. As she untangles the enemies of Isabelle’s past, Carmela hopes she can draw out the killer before someone else gets cold feet.

    QUESTION FOR AUTHOR: When you start a new book, do you have all the characters in place and an ending planned, or does it come to you as you write?

    I've just discovered cozy mysteries and I love them! The last cozy mystery I read had a Louisiana setting. Being a Louisiana gal, I love that this cozy also takes place in Louisiana and that it's set in New Orleans and the Garden District, one of my happy places, is a plus and what draws me in.
