Carmela (after creating the invites) is attending the Welcome Home party that Margo Leland is throwing for her ex-con husband Jerry Earl. Then while looking for the bathroom Carmela stumbles upon Jerry Earl dead in the clothes dryer.
Pressured by the widow, Carmela starts her own investigation which has a few unconventional twists and turns, while enlivened with the flavor of New Orleans.
This was the latest in The Scrapbooking series and I have to say it is the best so far. The main characters (Carmela and Ava) continue to bring New Orleans to life while chasing after the bad guys!
I would like to thank the author, Laura Childs for the sneak peak that she sent my way!
