19th June 2022
Giveaway: 3 copies of Quarter to Midnight by Karen Rose, set in NEW ORLEANS
UK only – EARLY COPY GIVEAWAY!
Rocky Hebert walks into his death at quarter to midnight one New Orleans night.
His son Gabe cannot accept the official verdict of suicide and enlists the help of the Burke Broussard Private Investigation Agency to discover the real cause of death.
PI Molly Sutton knows what it’s like to lose a father in tragic circumstances and will go to any lengths to crack the investigation, as she tries to fight off her growing feelings for Gabe.
They soon realise Rocky was working on an investigation of his own; one that threatened to expose the deep corruption going all the way to the top of the police department. And that the key to the puzzle lies with a young witness to a murder that happened years earlier: Xavier Morrow.
Just what did Rocky know? And who might have shut him up?
As they get closer and closer to the truth, they realise that the killer is not going to stop at Rocky. And that Xavier is in very real danger. Someone will go to any lengths to protect what he witnessed that night coming out…

I loved New Orleans – I’d recommend a ghost tour of the French Quarter, a trip out to visit Oak Alley, a swamp tour on the Bayou, and a ride on a steamer ship! Food-wise, a ‘po-boy’ sandwich dripping in gravy, a Hurricane cocktail, and a sugary Beinet from the market!

I was lucky enough to see New Orleans back when I was backpacking around the states. There is a lot to see outside the French Quarter. But you need to be street smart as it can be a rough and dangerous place to walk about at night.
The nightlife in the Quarter is amazing on any given night, not just during Mardi Gras.
I would love to visit to get caught up in the nightlife with the abundance of music and food and would particularly like the visit the French Quarter. Many thanks

Only ever visited New Orleans in books, but would love to go visit in person and see the French Quarter, hit up the bars and drink cocktails on Bourbon Street, visit Cafe du Monde and drink chicory coffee and eat beignets and then finally go on a cemetery tour.
I suppose I’d be giving my age away if I said I wanted to see if there’s a real place called The House of the Rising Sun! But really, like any new city I visit, I would really want to know how locals shop and eat, so my first stop would be a market
The buzz of Mardi Gras
A visit to The French Quarter, with plenty of Creole food sampling
A Mississippi riverboat cruise, with jazz music
All things I would love to experience, but please could we hold off with some of the intense heat and humidity, so that I can really enjoy it!! 🙂
Have never been to New Orleans but would love to visit,
I’ve never been but would love to go
I haven’t been to New Orleans, and it isn’t high on my list of places to visit, but if I did find myself there, I would do a food tour, a steamboat trip & a visit to the French Quarter for starters!
Definitely like to see and experience the buzz of Mardi Gras more than anything else.
