But when she learns that Joubert recently came into possession of one only four masks cast of Napoleon at the time of his death, and that the mask has now gone missing, she starts to wonder if the antiques dealer\u2019s death was an act of premeditated murder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you\u2019ve ever read any of <strong><em>Laura Childs\u2019<\/em><\/strong> books, you\u2019ve got a pretty good idea of what to expect from <strong>Gossamer Ghost<\/strong>, the twelfth in her <em>Scrapbooking Mystery<\/em> series. <strong>Gossamer Ghost <\/strong>has the potential to be a high-stakes, action-packed tale; the book\u2019s setup is intriguing and efficiently managed, and \u200bNapoleon\u2019s death mask makes for a grand MacGuffin. Unfortunately, though, Childs never capitalizes on either, instead pushing the mystery to the background and focusing almost entirely on the trappings (Halloween in New Orleans, y\u2019all).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The sense of place is strong (Childs\u2019 New Orleans is decidedly Disney-fied, but still comes to life on the page) and the book is bursting at the seams with Halloween-themed craft and costume tips (most of which are actually quite clever and creative), but the pace is languid, the prose is purple, and the characters are vapid and two-dimensional. Childs fails to provide Carmela with a legitimate motive to investigate either the mask\u2019s theft or Joubert\u2019s murder, resulting in a total lack of narrative drive, and her attempts to create tension and suspense are half-hearted, at best. If you\u2019re looking for a light and fluffy yarn that\u2019ll get you in the Halloween spirit and will help you embrace your inner Martha Stewart, go out and get yourself a copy of <strong>Gossamer Ghost<\/strong> by <strong><em>Laura Childs<\/em><\/strong>; if you prefer books with a bit more substance, though, you should continue your search.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/20893353-gossamer-ghost\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/goodread-logo.jpg?resize=210%2C86\" alt=\"goodread-logo\" width=\"210\" height=\"86\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Reviewed by<\/em><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u00a0Kat<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/3_star_blog.jpg?resize=130%2C60\" alt=\"3_star_blog\" width=\"130\" height=\"60\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00INIXTQ8?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=thesea0f-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00INIXTQ8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/amazon-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"amazon-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=4jojKl08wnk&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=266972.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=8432&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fsearch.barnesandnoble.com%252Fbooksearch%252Fisbninquiry.asp%253Fean%253D9781101617557\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/bandn-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"bandn-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/lookup?isbn=9781101617557\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/iBooks_Icon.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"iBooks_Icon\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=4jojKl08wnk&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=290193.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=9309&amp;RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kobobooks.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.html%3Fq%3D9781101617557\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/kobo-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"kobo-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/search?q=9781101617557&amp;c=books\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/icon-google-play.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"icon-google-play\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-14702\" data-postid=\"14702\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-14702 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carmela Bertrand knows that Halloween in New Orleans means a week of rabble-rousing, costumed craziness\u2014and she can\u2019t wait to get the party started.
