Once again Laura manages to give you the culprit you don't expect. In trying to find her friend's killer Camelia has a slew of suspects. She and Ave get threatened and run off to a cabin in the swamp. There they are shot at but someone I did not even suspect! That is why I love Laura's books! Whether it is Theo in Charleston running her tea shop and solving crimes or Camelia in New Orleans having scrap book classes and chasing killers, you never know to the last few pages her the killer is. I did it to myself. I have been swearing I would break up with this author the last the books and I think she finally broke me.Carmela has gone from an intelligent, strong female entrepreneur to being a weak, vapid, whiney twit. When Carmela and Ava witness a struggle in a church, they don't yell or run into the fray, they stand and watch in shock. They assume they bad guy is someone with a record or a man who gives his restaurant a weird name.Also, in New Orleans, doesn't everybody have some kind of delightful quirk that makes them stand out? Well that is exactly what makes these totally judgmental and unsavvy ladies decide they should believe you committed the crime.I'm sorry to see the author writing such vapid characters. They certainly didn't start out that way. So long. Farewell. Cheers.
What do You think about Skeleton Letters (2011)?
I don't know whether it was the writing or the performance on CD, but this book seemed really silly.
