review 1: I liked Fiber & Brimstone, not as much as the Tea Shop Mysteries. Mainly, I liked it because it is full of interesting characters, including the city of New Orleans. Trust me it is a character in the book, and in real life. I live near New Orleans and have been there many times, so reading about the places I have been is a lot of fun. New Orleans is crazy year round, and it's insane during Mardi Gras, now Halloween is not far behind! Back to the book. The story is faced paced and well written. The plot is good, especially since we have recently had ponzi schemes in the news.
review 2: I have enjoyed this whole series, and I enjoyed this book just about as much, although I was completely mistified by the murdered! I had no idea, it caught me completely of... moref guard!Now, I have to say that Carmela was a little, well many a bit more than a little snarky this whole book, in fact she seemed really off, maybe PMS or something, but she started out so sweet and this book she was anything but sweet.Also, Ava was really off this book too. She is normally the height of fashion, so confident and sure of herself, and in this book, she was clingly and so afraid. It was so not like her.Not sure what happened, don't know if this is suppose to be growth of character's but I did not like the unconfident and whiney Ava, or the snarky and mean Carmela. I'm also getting a little tired of Quigg always taking advantage of Carmela. She is a good person, does good work, but he is a little too much. Maybe Babcock calling him a sleazy slimeball is almost on target. I loved the southern charm, the holiday spirit and the New Orleans flavor of the book, but I felt abandoned by the characters I had come to enjoy so much throughout the series, almost as if I was reading a different series altogether.So, if you didn't like the previous books in the series, you might enjoy this one, but if you did like the previous books, be forewarned. less
