What do You think about Photo Finished (2004)?
Carmela is hosting an "all night scrap scession" that ends much earlier then planned, when the dead body of one of her business neighbors is found in the alley. Carmela has stumbled upon evidence that has her confused about who the culprit may be, and what their motivation for murder is. As she unknowingly gets closer to the murderer, the murderer is getting closer to her.

I pegged the killer when "they" where first introduced! Lucky guess. I love these cozy mysteries. The setting in New Orleans along with the the setting details and all the food makes me want to jump on a plane and head for the Big EZ!Another reviewer had pointed out that after discovering the body of Barty Hayward in her back ally, with in hours Carmela and Ava were out at a fancy resturant. True. But there is no sex and violence in these series...(well, graphic violence. O'le Barty did get killed)what else is there to do but scrapbook and eat. And anyone that has amassed more paper and rubberstamps that she has the overflow in her cartrunk, and goes to bed with glitter in her hair can atest, there is a lot of snacking and munching at these all night crops!

Loved it. This is Book Two in Laura Childs' Scrapbook Mysteries. I read it early last year and just had to read the enire series except for book 11 which I had to wait til year end to get. Like Childs' Tea Shop Mystery Series, these are cozies (think "Murder She Wrote" but with a younger protagonist and a love interest here and there).The mysteries are well-plotted and the characters evolve with each new book which is akin to meeting someone new that you know can become a friend s you get to know them.
