I haven't read the first book so didn't have all the facts. Based on their dialog etc, I assumed these ladies were middle aged...not nearly thirtyish. Book has FAR too many descriptive details, so muchvthat it gets boring. Main character seems a bit of a doormat to estranged husband and family. Soom scenes lend nothing to the story and seem pointless.

The overall mystery is okay, but I can’t get over these characters. All these “southern ladies” seem exactly the same with the same mannerism and speech (and also seem a bit racist at times?). Everyone also just seems too touristy- it’s hard to take these people as locals.

Photo Finished by Laura Childs is book two in the scrapbook mysteries. This is a fun series about a woman named Carmela who owns a scrapbooking supply store - and just happens to dabble in some side sleuthing. When her business neighbor Barty is murdered one night in the alley behind the shop, Carmela starts the hunt to find the killer. Weaving through red tape, lost romance, and possible new beginnings, she seeks to find the guilty party and put them in their place.

The Scrapbook Mysteries is entertaining and delightful - an easy read, especially if you find yourself immersed in something pretty serious. There's just enough suspense balanced with humor against the beautiful setting of New Orleans to bring a smile to any mystery lover's face. ☕☕☕☕

One of the wackiest mysteries I've ever read! Just required too much suspension of disbelief, even for a cookie cutter mystery.

This is a nice comfortable read. The story moves along at a good pace. It was nice not to have things drag about. I did not have the who did it figured out when she revealed it. The touch of scrapbooking and crafting was nice.

This was okay. It was way less infuriating than the first book in the series. The factual errors went down quite a bit.
