Interesting. Part of a series which I plan to read. Great recipes included. A twist which I didn't expect so kept it interesting to the end.

Found this book a little hard to get into.

A mystery set in New Orleans. You could use this book as a guide book to all the great eateries and tourist sites!! Similar to Diane Motts Davidson's books but not as "cute". I absolutely loved this book and am looking forward to the rest of the series!!

The book was a little hard for me to get into, but I know that others have enjoyed it.

good mystery book, not great

"Namcy Fairbanks has whipped up the perfect blend of mystery, vivid settings, and [yummy] foods... 'Crime Brulee' is a lusious start to a delectible series, " states The Mystery Reader." 'Crime Brulee' is an entertaining amature sleuth tale that takes the reader on a mouth-wattering tour of New Orleans... [pure] Fun.", says Painted Rock Reviews. "Fairbanks has a real gift for creating charactrs based in realilty, but just the slightest bit wacky in a shyly humorous way... It will tickle your funny bone as well as stimulate your appetite for good food,'according to the El Paso Times.

The discription and ambiance of New Orleans was very good. I thought the mystery was slow to develope and rather lame. If you are interested in New Orleans I would recommend this book, but not for the mystery. Has a yummy sounding recipe for Banana Bread Pudding with Banana-Rum Sauce plus others.

Do not find her series very good

Fun, fun, fun.

It started out a bit slow for me, but once I got into it, it was pretty good. It's nice to see a main character that doesn't like foul language. It's still there, but at least Carolyn makes it clear she doesn't like it. I wish the ending could have been different.

Homemaker Carolyn Blue is through with cooking and cleaning. She's finally decided to throw in the dishtowel and take a dream job as a food writer. She accompanies her husband to an academic conference in New Orleans, and uses the opportunity to write a story about Cajun cuisine. But her best friend Julienne disappears at a dinner party. Carolyn has a mystery to solve. Includes lots of gourmet recipes.

First in a really good series of culinary mysteries. This one takes place in New Orleans. A more intelligent funny "cozy" type of book.

First in the series. Recipes included

Set in New Orleans!
