I'm reading some mysteries that are set in New Orleans for a particular project and came across the Lou Jane Temple book called Red Beans and Vice. Temple's main sleuth is Heaven Lee and she is a former lawyer turned chef in Kansas City. She comes to New Orleans to help cook at a charity dinner shindig, and to stay with a former classmate. Then of course there are threats, a bit of violence and a murder! And then there are recipes! And a mini tour of some of the highlights of the once vibrant city.
Temple has some fun characters and she involves you with the secondary characters left behind in Kansas City pretty easily. I would recommend this for a fast read, and it looks like a series that would be enjoyable to get into!
