mystery story. Shaw’s Book Shop is
located at 79 Westwood Avenue, Westwood.
Murder, mayhem, and voodoo, is the
perfect combination for this incredible new mystery. That Old Black Magic is New
York Times bestselling author Mary Jane Clark’s 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.
Publisher’s Weekly says “Mary Jane’s suspenseful fourth Piper Donovan
mystery (after 2013’s Footprints in the Sand)
takes the baker/actress to New Orleans, where she’s thrilled to be working as a
guest baker at Boulangerie Bertrand in the French Quarter. Piper also lands an
acting role that requires her to play a character entombed alive in a casket.
When someone goes on a murder spree in the vicinity of Boulangerie Bertrand,
Piper’s boyfriend, FBI agent Jack Lombardi, urges her to get out of New Orleans
as soon as possible, but she remains committed to finishing a wedding cake at
the bakery. As the body count rises, locals connect the mysterious clues left
at the crime scenes to voodoo, and the police consider no one above suspicion,
even Piper. Amid a multitude of red herrings, the roller-coaster action builds to a most startling conclusion.”

hard, contemporary edge that enhances the fear factor”.
"My aim is lay out all the clues in such a
way that you don't even realize that you've been given the answer to the
mystery until you get to the end... and then realize "Aha... it was there
all the time but I just didn't see it." ...Mary Jane Clark
