Death Swatch is the latest book by author Laura Childs and we've got three copies to give away (see the bottom of this post for details). Want to know what it's about? We asked scrapper Julie Kirk to give it a read, here's what she thought:
Had a hard day scrapping? Did your glue runner or, worse still, your inspiration dry up in the middle of a layout? Before tearing your page in half and your hair out, put down the craft knife and pick up Death Swatch the latest in a series of 'Scrapbooking Mysteries' from novelist Laura Childs.
Death Swatch will transport you from your crafting table and drop you into the heart of New Orleans in the run up to the Mardis Gras festivities. Join Carmela, the novel’s amateur detective and scrapbook shop owning heroine as she investigates the murder of one of the float designers of the world famous parade.
Along the way you’ll experience the intriguing characters, heritage and architecture of the city as Carmela, assisted by her best friend, discover secret rooms, hidden passageways, treasure maps and even a new romance. Immerse yourself further still by recreating the traditional, local cuisine, as the book also contains a selection of traditional, mouth-watering New Orleans style recipes.
So go ahead, indulge in a generous helping of sleuthing, a side-dish of scrapbooking hints and tips and, for dessert, treat yourself to the tempting Southern Peach Cobbler and let those scrapping woes drift away!
