WATCH FOR LAURA CHILDS'S NEW SCRAPBOOKING MYSTERY COMING SOON IN HARDCOVER FROM BERKLEY PRIME CRIME

Crepe Factor

Holidays in the French Quarter mean cathedral concerts and réveillon dinners. But when Carmela and her best friend, Ava, stroll a winter market, they discover the dead body of Martin Lash, crusty author of the
Glutton for Punishment
blog. Someone severed his carotid artery with a serving fork, and the police are looking hard at Quigg Brevard, local restaurateur and Carmela's old flame. When Quigg begs Carmela to help clear him, how can she possibly say no?

AND ALSO THE NEXT CACKLEBERRY CLUB MYSTERY BY LAURA CHILDS

When Suzanne goes to Mike Mullen's dairy farm to pick up wheels of cheese, nobody's around. She steps into his barn only to be greeted by the urgent, upturned faces of cows that haven't been milked. As the cows wail and moan, Suzanne tiptoes down the aisle and discovers Mike's dead body. What kind of maniac would murder this mild-mannered farmer? And who is coming after Suzanne now that she's hot on the trail of his
killer?
