The Winter Market in the French Quarter is in full swing, but murder isnโt taking a holiday in this festive mystery in theย New York Timesย bestselling Scrapbooking series.
The holidays are a busy time for scrapbook shop owner Carmela Bertrandโbut not so hectic that she doesnโt have time to enjoy browsing the booths at the Winter Market with her best friend, Ava. The last thing the ladies expect to see is a lurching man stabbed by a serving fork, dying in front of them.
The victim is loathed restaurant critic Martin Lash, who posted his scathing reviews on the Glutton for Punishment website. And the prime suspect is New Orleans restaurateur Quigg Brevardโwho was seen giving the critic a tongue-lashing minutes before someone stuck a fork in him. An old flame of Carmelaโs, Quigg asks for her help, which does not please her current beau, Detective Edgar Babcock, to say the least.
Before her relationship is the next victim, Carmela needs to find a murderer who had no reservations about punishing the culinary curmudgeonโฆ
