Happy Tuesday Everybody,
As promised, today is a special treat...an official blog book review and it's a brand-new release:
Laura Childs strikes again with her newest Scrapbooking Mystery, Gilt
Trip.
When
Carmela Bertrand and her best pal, Ava Gruiex attend a high society shindig
celebrating the release of Jerry Earl Leland from jail (only because Carmela
designed the invitations and Margo—Jerry Earl’s wife—decided Carmela must be at
the party), the last thing on their minds is murder.
However,
when searching for something to dab a stain on Ava’s blouse, Carmela runs
across a murder victim stuffed in the dryer. And not just any victim. Jerry
Earl himself.
With
her boyfriend/detective, Edgar Babock, out of town, his no-nonsense assistant
Bobby Gallant is on the case. And he has no interest in Carmela sticking her
nose in the investigation. In
fact, Carmela has no interest in doing that either—even going so far as to
promise Babock she won’t.
However,
when the distraught widow begs (okay, let's be honest, leaves no room to say no) Carmela finds
herself in the middle of a messy situation filled with business enemies, and prison gangs (one that references “the end of the world”) and a host of other
things she hadn't planned on being a part of.
The
whole thing gets worse when Jerry Earl’s assistant is next on the murderer’s
hit list.
Can
Carmela figure it all out so the right person goes to jail—or will she be too
late?
