New Orleans Nightmare (A Roxy Reinhardt Cozy Mystery) Paperback – November 4, 2019

The heroine is one we can relate to. Be aware that New Orleans plays a vital role in the story. Mystery is great! Wonderful book to relax with. So many characters to like, especially Roxy, Sam, and Evangeline. 😊

Roxy and the crew from the Funky Cat Inn are doing great things in New Orleans and becoming well known. I love the way they have grown close and formed their own little family. I also appreciate the growth Roxy has shown since she got there. I can't wait to see what happens next as she continues to reach for the stars.

This is an enjoyable well-written whodunit with plenty of suspects and a few twists and turns. Roxy and her quirky group of friends are back in this second book of the Roxy Reinhardt series. The flavor of New Orleans is as much a character as Roxy herself. I really liked the way the last chapter tied everything together and gave updates on what all the Instagrammers were doing. I didn't like Detective Johnson and his loud-mouthed hateful attitude. There was no excuse for his boorish behavior. I can't understand why everyone was so willing to cater a memorial service and then a celebration of life party for free. I'm really enjoying this new series from the talented Alison Golden and urge you to give it a try.

Roxy Reinhardt has a new set of guests staying at her mini-hotel. This time they are all famous Instagram celebrities (called Influencers) with hundreds of thousands of followers each. She is hoping to boost the status of the hotel and get it out in the internet media. She accomplishes her goal, just not in the way she had hoped.This was a great story.It has well-developed characters, lots of humor, a solid storyline, and several surprises.Alison Golden is, and has been one of my favorite authors for a while now. She writes Cozy, mainly mysteries, and Thrillers. Her other series include Reverand Annabell Dixon, Inspector David Graham, Both set in England, and the thriller series Diana Hunter, which is set mainly in Canada, but has Diana traveling all over the world.

I really enjoyed visiting New Orleans again with Roxy, Sam, Sage, Nat, Elijah and Evangeline. The guests were questionable, but I liked how we got to know them over the course of the book. The thrown together celebrations of life were a bit awkward and the family didn’t impress me, but I liked how that all tied together in the end.

Roxy is settled in as the new owner of the Funky Cat Inn - the renovated guest house she stayed at when she first came to New Orleans. To boost interest for the Inn, she planned for a group of Social Media influencers to stay at the Inn.But what starts out as a great time, quickly turns sour when a person is found dead.Roxy is warned off investigating by their favorite grumpy detective, but she finds it hard to not get involved. She doesn't want bad publicity and wants the investigation finished as soon as possible.. but...I really am enjoying this new series - I love the descriptions of all that is New Orleans and the characters are diverse and work so well together.

Alison Golden writes several cozy mystery series and I am a big fan of her writing style and her character development. This new series set in New Orleans is a real winner! She "gets" the vibe of the town and the wonderful food. Roxie, her main character who in book one was a tentative and not very confident person, new in town has grown a lot in "New Orleans Nightmare". If you love cozies with great chatacters and story lines that leave you wondering 'who dun it' this series is for you! Be prepared to not want to put it down until the end.

A hotel, influencer guests, a murder. You will have fun guessing Who it's likely to be. Fun light read that is thoroughly entertaining with a sprinkling of romance and some culinary delights. Most enjoyable

A great little read. A wish for fame and recognition leads to murder and running from the press. Loved the way the characters are growing in strength and the introduction of the new ones. From the haughty, snooty to the bumbling prankster. Really had me guessing as I couldn't quite reconcile the clues to who is thought it was.She wants her boutique hotel to make a splash and has asked four different Instagram influences to come and stay. Each is different. From Ada (obsessed with brands and her own importance), Lily (a quiet refined woman), Sonia (a mature senior with secrets) and finally Michael and Dash (a fun loving pair with Dash being an optimistic prankster). The four groups seem to have nothing in common and now Dash has been found murdered in his room. Add in hoards of press, Instagram updates flying thick and fast, Michael being attacked and a detective that has no qualms in laying the blame at Roxy's feet. Will they work out who the killer is? Will the hotel survive the infamous posts flying around?

Another. Excellent Alison Golden book. Once I got started I ignored all the things I should be doing and just carried on until I finished the book. Not quite as good as the books set in England but still very enjoyable reading.

Easy reading but enjoyable. Nice ditzy lady

The former poor callcenter employee who became a hotel owner and successful detective within a few months steps up the ladder. She solves another crime and becomes such a perfect hostess that a tv show wants to present her. Who would not like to be so lucky.And on the side, that attractive young man who paid the hotel just out of compassion is more than inclined to her....Miracles happen.But again, somehow it is such a good read that you want to know how it goes on.And all the interesting and unique details about NOLA culture tie you to the book.So,it is fun!

Farbenfrohe Schilderungen des Lebens in New Orleans. Gespickt mit skurrilen Charakteren. Fesselnd zu lesen. Der Mord als roter Faden durch die Handlung.
