I loved this book and having lived in New Orleans pre-Katrina, not only did I recognize the Garden District setting, I recognized the types of characters. This was a cute cozy and a quick read, so I will continue the series. I also appreciate the fact the main character is a middle-aged single woman with a past she has overcome (in other words, she is REAL). The only reason they are not keepers is a total lack of bookcase space.

Takes place in New Orleans historic Garden District. First book in series. Fun read!

I just love these light, easy-to-read books. The fact they take place in New Orleans adds to their charm.

This was a pleasant read, not mentally taxing or upsetting. It started out slow, but got exciting about two-thirds of the way through. And I learned that if you wish to murder, get rid of the maid!

Set in New Orleans, 59 year old Charlotte La Rue cleans houses and solves mysteries. She just can't stay out of other people's business and gets herself in messes, that of course she finds her way out.

I wasn't able to get into this book.
