Mardi Gras and Mayhem: Book 4 of the Small Town Girl series (Small Town Girl Mysteries)

A girls’ weekend in New Orleans during Mardi Gras—glitter, gumbo, and…murder? Evangeline Delafose is ready for beignets, beads, and a break from crime-solving. But when a prominent distillery owner turns up dead, Ev’s getaway turns into a high-stakes investigation in the heart of New Orleans. Chantilly Romero was a respected pillar of the city’s elite…or so it seemed. Rumors swirl of illegal poker games, shady deals, and a bodyguard who may have doubled as muscle for more than security. And as Ev digs deeper, secrets come pouring out like whiskey from a cracked cask. With Shorty by her side and her small-town instincts sharp as ever, Ev must untangle Mardi Gras mayhem, business betrayals, and a trail of whispered scandals. Was Chantilly a victim—or a villain? And did someone finally decide to serve their own brand of justice?
