Synopsis

An evening's work deciding on the class schedule for her scrapbooking shop has put Carmela in the mood to kick up her heels. But after some strange noises draw her into Oddities, the neighboring antiques shop, Carmela's night is abruptly put on hold when a bloody body falls out of a curio cabinet-and into her arms. While shop owner Marcus Joubert was known for being an eccentric with a penchant for eclectic merchandise, Carmela never thought he was the kind of man who could inspire the passion required to kill. But when Marcus's assistant-and fiancEe-Mavis reveals that a priceless death mask was also stolen, it becomes clear that murder wasn't the culprit's sole intention. Carmela can't resist the urge to investigate the growing mystery, but as the list of suspects increases, she realizes it'll take every trick in the book to unmask the killer thief before there's another night of murderous mischief.

All I can say, is if you enjoy a good mystery, then read this series. You won't be disappointed. I have only read two, and out of order and still was able to understand the connection between characters. Just read for yourself.......more

Goodreads review by Patrizia on October 29, 2017

4 stelle e mezza È sempre un piacere tornare a New Orleans da Carmela e amici. Anche se trovo che a volte è un po' troppo sopra le righe, soprattutto Ava, l'amica del cuore. Bella la storia gialla, con tanti possibili colpevoli veramente odiosi, tanto che spero abbiamo in futuro quello che si meritan......more
