New York Times bestselling author Mary Jane Clark whips up a savory and suspenseful confection, filled with murder, mystery, history, and voodoo, in which Piper Donovan must unmask a devious killer striking in New Orleans's legendary French Quarter

That old black magic

Aspiring actress and wedding-cake decorator Piper Donovan has barely arrived in New Orleans to perfect her pastry skills at the renowned French Quarter bakery Boulangerie Bertrand when a ghastly murder rocks the magical city.

Intrigued by the case, Piper can't help but look for the "Hoodoo Killer" among the faces around her. Could it be the handsome guide eager to give her special private tours? Or the inscrutable jazz musician who plays on historic Royal Street? What about the ratings-starved radio talk-show host? Or even the amiable owner of the local Gris-Gris Bar?

Though Piper has a full plate decorating cakes for upcoming wedding celebrations, she's also landed an exciting but unnerving role in a movie being shot in the Big Easy. When the murderer strikes again, leaving macabre clues, she thinks she can unmask the killer. But Piper will have to conjure up some old black magic of her own if she hopes to live long enough to reveal the truth.

I loved Mary Jane Clark's Key News mysteries and kept thinking why is she stopping writing these books I enjoy so much. And then I decided to try the second in her Piper Donovan series and thought it was okay but not as good as the Key News stories. But now after reading the fourth in the series I'm really starting to appreciate them.

Mostly because in this book Piper's in New Orleans and of course where Piper is dead bodies soon appear - and I didn't know who did it! And along with that surprise came a really good story, fast paced with good descriptions of New Orleans ( I definitely have to get down there to try a mufalatta!). My only complaint is Jack (and this is entirely personal) I hate the "I am cop, you are 'a mere civilian'" which is just a replacement for "I am man, you are a 'mere woman'". ( )
