I think anyone who reads my blog knows how I feel about mysteries.
There are very few that really capture my attention and make me want
to keep reading. I'm much more attracted to emotional depth than I am
to blood, guts, and horror. So when a mystery gets good reviews from
me, then it's a lot more than just a mystery. This one had it all. I
always enjoy a story with a good Louisiana setting, one that actually
describes what life here is really like, and this book definitely has
that, especially since it takes place during Mardi Gras! Like I said
earlier, I enjoy emotional depth in what I read and this book had
plenty to go around. There were in depth backstories and events that
took me through many different emotions while this mystery was solved.
If you're a mystery fan, then I'm sure you'll enjoy this one. If
you're not as much of one, like me, but are looking for something a
little different to shake up your TBR pile, then pick this one up. I
think it's got something for everyone.

Susan and Jim Foret have abandoned New Orleans after proving her brother's innocence in the previous book, April Fools, and now live in a small bayou town called Cypress Lake where Jim is chief of police and Susan is mother to their twins. When a murder is committed on Mardi Gras day and brings down a prominent citizen, Susan can't help getting involved again in finding the culprit and putting herself at risk again. Clues lead to a backwater family of tarot card readers and ex-cons, but it is Susan's own knowledge of the past that solves the crime. Good small town and bayou atmosphere permeates this mystery read.

Whodunit on da Bayou
Colorful characters and setting make this a charming read. The Mardi Gras backdrop and unique clues at the murder scenes make this a fun read.
