Book Review: Tragic Magic

Tragic Magic by Laura Childs

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I am defintely in a reading vibe right now, so I finished book 6, and started book 7, and luckly it was a quiet night at home, just me and the girls, and while they watched episodes of "Dance Moms" on tv, I read another book.

Finally, after seven books we see the finalization of Carmela and Shamus's divorce, you know I was really starting to believe that it would never happen, that they would just continue this bantering back and forth forever, but in the last two books, I have noticed a change in Carmela tone and attitude to Shamus, it is no more of the, maybe he'll grow up and we can work it out, but more of the, I'm threw this is a waste of time.

I have got to tell you, I didn't not have a clue who the real murderer was, and at the very end, when things pinged for Carmela, I still had the wrong guy pegged. The guy who did it never even crossed my radar. Really, how bad is that? You would think after ready seven books in this series that I would have a handle on them and be able to pick out the murder, I just couldn't come up with a motive for the guy I had pegged, then I was completely caught off guard by who it was and the motive!

I think it's pretty good, when you can still get stumped by a writer after reading seven in the series. I still loved the history and facts of New Orleans and I still loved the scrapbooking information and tips. Those are the things that originally drew me to this series, and are part of what keeps me coming back.
