About this listen

A timid traveler. A New Orleans adventure. A Mardi Gras murder.

Roxy believed that life never gives you more than you can handle. But when she's fired from her wage-slave job, bullied by her co-workers, and her boyfriend abandons her, she decides she’s handled quite enough. Eager for a change of scene, Roxy, with her white Persian cat Nefertiti, head off to New Orleans.

The exotic sights, smells, and food of Mardi Gras coax the shy young woman out of her shell. Booking a room at a rundown guesthouse, Roxy is surrounded by a colorful cast of local characters. From tattooed waitresses to mystical tarot card readers, she quickly makes new friends and leaves her old life behind.

But she soon discovers that the Big Easy isn’t all beignets and jambalaya. A wealthy developer is eager to buy the guesthouse where Roxy lives and tear it down… until he turns up dead as a doornail! Is this anxious adventurer up to the challenge of solving a murder? Or will she become the killer’s next victim?

Fun and entertaining

Alison Golden is one of my favorite Cozy Mystery authors. Her plot lines will keep you guessing with characters that are engaging, growing and developing throughout a series – and the Roxy Reinhardt Mysteries are no exception. I read the print version of “Mardi Gras Madness”, the first in the series, several years ago and was so excited to have the opportunity to preview the audio version. The narration is very good with easily identifiable voices for each character and I found that the narrator’s interpretation of the roles really fleshed out my mental picture over and above what I had envisioned when reading the original print. I’m going to enjoy listening to this series.

I received a free Audible link for this audio book and this is my honest review.

A real feel for the city of New Orleans

I loved how the character and attraction of the city and the people were captured. However, the accents and pronunciations were not authentic, overall, it was a nice story with a warm feeling.

Life Decisions

I enjoyed the first book in the "Roxy Reinhardt Cozy Mystery" series. Roxy's life was in turmoil as her boyfriend had moved out without telling her, and she wasn't sure whether she still had a job or not. Roxy decided to travel to New Orleans to see if the change in scenery would help to clarify her thinking about what to do with her life. While in New Orleans, Roxy was drawn into a murder investigation. The story was entertaining. I liked the quirky characters and the cat named Nefertiti. I enjoyed the setting as New Orleans during Mardi Gras seemed like a beautiful place to visit, and the descriptions added realism to the story. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. Marissa Pistone's narration was great, and her performance enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Great start to a new series

Roxy’s life is suddenly turned upside down when she loses both her job and boyfriend. On a whim, she packs up her clothing and her cat and heads for New Orleans. This mystery is skillfully written with a tight plot and great characters. There are multiple story lines within this cozy mystery and they are all neatly tied up with a bow. The narration was very enjoyable and I look forward to future audiobooks. I received this book free and chose to make a voluntary, unbiased review.
