A Streetcar Named Murder by T.G. Herren

5.0

This book revolves around Valerie, a widowed empty next mom living in New Orleans. After coming into a surprise inheritance, she find the body of an acquaintance and quickly learns of the deceased’s disdain for her.

I love a book set in New Orleans. The author got the feel for the city just right. I loved getting to know Valerie along with her friends, family and neighbors. We met several great characters, but getting to know them was never confusing as it can be with the first book in the series.

We didn’t get to the murder until we were a little over halfway through the book. I typically don’t like that in my cozy mysteries, but there was so much more to the book in character development and atmosphere that it didn’t seem to drag on.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and absolutely can’t wait for the next book in the series.
