New Book!


The new book for the July 26th meeting is "KEEPSAKE CRIMES" by Laura Childs.


  • ISBN-13: 978-0425190746

  • Paperback

  • $6.99

  • In-Stock at Barnes and Noble


Summary:
As the bawdy Pluvius parade rolls through the streets of New Orleans, something goes very wrong atop the giant sea serpent float. Carmela Bertrand, owner of Memory Mine, a scrapbooking shop in the French Quarter, is shocked when a body is suddenly handed down - a dead body! If that isn't bizarre enough, her soon-to-be-ex husband, Shamus Meechum, quickly comes under fire as the number one suspect! As Carmela kicks off a new round of scrapbooking classes and designs a commemorative scrapbook for St. Cyril's above-ground cemetery, Shamus appeals to her for help. And Carmela uncovers an important clue in a very unlikely place - one of her customer's scrapbooks!
Hope Everyone Likes It!
