BOOK TOUR
I'm very happy to be a stop on the blog tour for
author Mollie Cox Bryan and her new book
SCRAPBOOK OF THE DEAD
Book 5 in the Cumberlain Creek Mystery series
Halloween means spooky scrapbooks for the Cumberland Creek Scrapbook Crop, but what's been happening around town is truly frightening. First a dead woman is found in the freezer at Pamela's Pie Palace, and the next day a second woman is found murdered by the river. Reporter Annie Chamovitz learns the victims were sisters and is certain their deaths are linked. Most bizarre of all, both women were found clutching scrapbook pages.
As their Saturday night crop quickly becomes an opportunity to puzzle out the murders, the ladies begin to wonder if Pamela is hiding more than her secret recipes for delicious pies--or if the crimes are related to the startling discovery that there are gangs in Cumberland Creek. As All Hallows Eve approaches, the crafty croppers must cut and paste the clues to unmask a deadly killer.
Includes tips and a glossary of terms for the modern scrapbooker!

MY REVIEW
A delightfully crafty mystery, SCRAPBOOK OF THE DEAD is the
fifth book in the Cumberland Creek Mystery series by author Mollie Cox Bryan,
featuring reporter, Annie Chamovitz.
Ms. Bryan wasted no time getting to the scene of the crime
in this installment of her popular series. I’m talking page one, chapter one,
first sentence. Nothing like getting kicking in a reader’s adrenaline at the
start!
Cumberland Creek sounds like a sleepy little town, but with
things like murders and gangs it’s starting to feel like anything but. It can
be tricky introducing elements like gangs into a small town setting, but this
author met the *challenge head on and has written an engrossing mystery that
had be stuck to my book as though it was covered in *adhesive.
This series just keeps getting better and better with every
book, and SCRAPBOOK OF THE DEAD is the cream of the *crop. I enjoyed it so much
I was able to leave my review *acid-free, and sing its praises.
While this is book five in the series, there are also two
eBook novellas that go along with it.
Be sure to check out the back of the book for a Glossary of
Basic Scrapbooking Terms, Basic Card Making, Scrapbook Essentials for the
Beginner, and an excerpt of A CRAFTY CHRISTMAS.
* Wondering about all the
asterisks in my review? Those words are just a few of the scrapbooking terms
you’ll read about in SCRAPBOOK OF THE DEAD!

ReplyDeleteHey Pat! Where was my editor this morning? I had to find my own typo. And it was a bad one. I had the title of the book wrong! I had Scrapbook Of The DEATH instead of DEAD. I may have to fire you! ;-)
DeleteDo you write every day? Do you have a word goal for each day you write?

Della at deepotter@peoplepc.com New series. New author. :Hope to learn more about both. Really looks like an interesting read. My sister was just trying to get me involved in scrapbooks. She is new to it and wants me to try. Told her about this series and she is moderately interested. She really doesn't read as much as I do. But we bother like crafts and always picking up new ones to try.
