This was such a fun start to a new series and very New Orleans! I loved how Byron captured the eclectic setting and personalities of the city as well as all the food. The mystery had fantastic plot twists, clever red herrings, and a few side stories that wove into the story quite well. I loved following Ricki as she tries to solve the mystery, and I loved her relationships that she builds throughout the book. The end had a fun twist that I was not expecting and left me dying to get my hands on book 2!
