★★★★★ "The story was brilliantly plotted out and wonderfully written, you could barely wait to turn the pages to see where the tale would take you next."

A timid traveler. A New Orleans adventure. A Mardi Gras murder...

Roxy believed that life never gives you more than you can handle. But when she's fired from her wage-slave job, bullied by her co-workers, and her boyfriend abandons her, she decides she's handled quite enough. Eager for a change of scene, Roxy with her white Persian cat Nefertiti head off to New Orleans.

The exotic sights, smells, and food of Mardi Gras coax the shy young woman out of her shell. Booking a room at a rundown guesthouse, Roxy is surrounded by a colorful cast of local characters. From tattooed waitresses to mystical tarot card readers, she quickly makes new friends and leaves her old life behind.

But she soon discovers that the Big Easy isn't all beignets and jambalaya. A wealthy developer is eager to buy the guesthouse where Roxy lives and tear it down... until he turns up dead as a doornail! Before she can say 'Mon Dieu!', Roxy is caught up in a diabolical murder mystery... and her new friends are the prime suspects!

Roxy is determined to protect her pals, and save her new home. But is this anxious adventurer up to the challenge of solving a murder? Or will she become the killer's next victim...
