2.0 out of 5 stars Seemed More Like a First Draft, 3 Sep 2003

By	Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Carmela’s life is having its ups and downs. Her scrapbooking shop is doing well, but she’s been separated from her husband for six months. She’s trying to put that behind her and enjoy Mardi Gras, however.

While attending a parade with her friend Ava, she is shocked to see the body of a friend lowered from a float, dead. She’s even more surprised to learn that Shamus, her husband, is the chief suspect. She doesn’t believe he could really be the killer, so she sets out to see what she can learn.

I’ve read two of Ms. Childs’ Tea Shop Mysteries and enjoyed them. This book disappointed me, however. My problem was that it felt like it was a first draft, not a finished book. Hardly anything happens in the first half of the book. Instead, we get lots of talk on scrapbooking. Things do get more interesting in the second half, but the last chapter is pretty bad with lots of things suddenly being thrown at us to tie up potential loose ends. I didn’t get a good feel for the place like I did in her other series. And her attempts to add local color only slowed the story down as she had to explain what a character had just said.

I don't think the author is ready to have two series or release three books in one year. I hope she slows down, because I did enjoy the other books of her's that I've read.

4.0 out of 5 stars good mystery, 24 Aug 2006

By	J. Mason - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Though I can appreciate the earlier reviewer's comments on this book, it is the first I have read by Laura Childs, the first in a new series and I actually enjoyed it. I may have lower standards but I think the mystery is good enough for it to be worth reading, and that's the only thing I would judge it on. It does take a little while to get going but I think its worth it in the end, like a lot of books.
