We are back in the French Quarter just in time for the holidays. Carmela Bertrand and her friend Ava are soaking in the holiday atmosphere at the Winter Market when there is a commotion. They see Quigg, the owner of Mumbo Gumbo having a loud argument with a man, Martin Lash. Lash wrote a terrible restaurant review on one of Quigg’s restaurants. Shortly after the two women are looking at a leather booth when the booth starts shaking. Thinking something funny is going on, Carmela goes around the back just as the booth collapses and she sees Martin Lash with a meat serving fork stuck in his neck.
The book is written in third person point of view. The story is fast paced with a cast of characters. The main characters are well developed and the author even revisits Carmela’s past relationship with Quigg. I always enjoy reading about Carmela and her adventures and this one was no different. She also teaches craft classes which she details within the story. The tips and recipes at the end of the book. This is the fourteenth book in the series. If you like crafts, New Orleans, and mystery, you will love this book.
