The first in a vivid and charming crime series set in the Louisiana bayou, introducing the hilariously uncensored amateur sleuth Glory Broussard.
Danielle Arcenaux\'s riveting debut brings for an unforgettable character that will charm and delight crime fans everywhere and leave them hungry for her next adventure..
But she\'s determined to make her presence known as the case leads her deep into a web of intrigue she never realized Lafayette could harbor.
As a Black woman of a certain age who grew up in a segregated Louisiana, Glory is used to being minimized and overlooked.
When police declare the mysterious death a suicide, Glory is convinced that there must be more to the story and, with her reluctant daughter, with troubles of her own, in tow, launches a shadow investigation in a town of oil tycoons, church gossips, and a rumored voodoo priestess.
Sitting at her corner table, Glory hears that her best friend--a nun beloved by the community--has been found dead in her apartment.
It\'s a hot and sticky Sunday in Lafayette, Louisiana, and Glory has settled into her usual after-church routine, meeting gamblers at the local coffee shop, where she works as a small-time bookie.
Perfect for fans of Richard Osman\'s Thursday Murder Club.
