I was on a roll with good mysteries! (I read this one right after The Marlow Murder Club) This is the first in a new series and I cannot wait for more to come out. I was first drawn to read it because it is set in Lafayette, Louisiana (near my old stomping ground) and I don’t recall any other books set in that location.
The main character is Glory Broussard, another fabulous woman ‘of a certain age’ who works as a small time bookie (her ‘office’ is in the local coffee shop). But when a dear friends sudden death is labeled a suicide, Glory sets out to prove that isn’t true. Glory, along with her daughter who has returned from NYC with her own secrets, begins to investigate. There are so many wonderful characters and the setting of southwest Louisiana (SWLA) shines through. I listened to this one and Glory’s ‘voice’ was so vivid, I could see her in the room with me. Excellent start for a new series and I can’t wait for more Glory Broussard!
