Blurb

It's cozy. It's culinary. It 's Mardi Gras madness! It's the fifth book in this fabulous mystery series with a vintage flair from USA Today-bestselling and Agatha Award-winning author Ellen Byron.

Step 1: join a killer krewe

It's carnival season in New Orleans, and Ricki James-Diaz and her friends from Bon Vee are dressing up for Mardi Gras. They've joined the notorious krewe of Chew to support Ricki's chef boyfriend, Virgil, who is to be crowned this year's king. It's all fun, throws, and over-the-top outfits until the krewe's captain is found strangled with his own medallion.

Step 2: survive the festivities

The prime suspect is Ricki's friend, the deceased's wife who discovered he was cheating on her. It seems a straightforward case, but Ricki isn't so sure. The krewe's leader had many enemies including his mistress, his krewe co-founder who he ousted, and his college friend whose girlfriend he stole. One thing's clear, Ricki's at the center of yet another murder investigation. And if she's not careful, her first Mardi Gras could also be her last . . .

Perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke, these delightful mysteries bring New Orleans to life with fun characters and delicious recipes. This series is a must-read for culinary cozy lovers!
