Review
It's Mardi Gras in New Orleans, and after spending most of his life trying to reach high society, Chauncy St. Amant has been crowned Rex, King of Carnival. But his day of glory comes to an abrupt and bloody end when a party-goer dressed as Dolly Parton guns him down. Skip Langdon, a rookie police officer and former debutante turned cynic of the uptown crowd, is assigned to the case. Scouring the streets for clues, interviewing revelers and street people with names like Jo Jo, Hinky and Cookie, and using her white glove contacts, the post-deb rebel cop comes up with a motive for murder that surprises even herself. New Orleans Mourning won the 1991 Edgar Award for best mystery novel.
From the Publisher
One of my friends at work recommended that I read a Julie Smith book when she heard that I was going to New Orleans on a business trip....so I did. It was a great way to learn about this amazing city prior to my visit and much more interesting than a travel guide. After reading I couldn't wait to have a beignet, walk down Bourbon Street, go to the French Quarter, and visit the Garden District. An added bonus was that I really liked Smith's main character, Detective Skip Langdon---she's smart and funny.
