When a family is forced to investigate a death without a shred of necessary skill, their time in New Orleans uncovers a fascinating gay underground society that serves as a microcosm of an evolving United States. Imogene in New Orleans's unique cast features Imogene McGregor, a senior citizen whose fierce independence and grit has few equals. This unlikely heroine is already being called "the South's Miss Marple," and this is only volume one of the series!
"At its heart, the novel explores the evolving American family, and our nation's thankful shift toward inclusion for gay couples," explains the author. "Our leading family goes about their business like anyone else, and Imogene doesn't bat an eye at her son's sexuality. Of course, their vacation to New Orleans turns into a full-blown adventure. The Big Easy is one of the world's most diverse places, and the perfect playground to solve a murder."
The formula has worked with great success. One Kindle reader comments, "This is a fast-paced novel set in New Orleans with rollicking lead characters...which takes you through their experiences in New Orleans on the trail of the murderer. A great romp through the French Quarter and other parts of the city encountering some 'only-in-New Orleans' characters. Funny, clever, entertaining!"
