Fans of Ace Atkins, Tana French, Sue Grafton, and Marcia Muller will love Skip Langdonâ€™s pluck and charm in this bundle, which includes the middle three books in the series: Death Before Facebook, House of Blues, and The Kindness of Strangers.

DEATH BEFORE FACEBOOK

Itâ€™s a chilly November in 1994, and thirty-one-year-old Geoff Kavanagh surreptitiously splits his time between science fiction novels and cyberspace in his parentsâ€™ dilapidated, overgrown, uptown New Orleans mansion. Until his mother finds him dead from a suspicious fall off a ladder. Maybe he should never have posted about seeing his father murdered â€¦ because way too many people on the TOWN, a pre-Facebook virtual community, knew things about his family he didnâ€™t even suspect. Decades-old skeletons start falling out of closets after Geoffâ€™s untimely death, thanks to New Orleans Detective Skip Langdon. Langdon finds Geoffâ€™s gorgeous mom strangely uninterested in her sonâ€™s fatal fall, but Momâ€™s apparently the only one. It seems the post has gone viral. Suddenly all the TOWNSpeople have theoriesâ€”and ambition as cyberdetectives. Whatâ€™s a murderer to do but kill his way out?

HOUSE OF BLUES

Sugar Hebert arrives home from a ten-minute errand to find her husband shot to death and the rest of her family missingâ€”including her daughter Reed, heir apparent to the Hebert restaurant dynasty, and Reed's eleven-month-old daughter.

Detective Skip Langdonâ€™s hunt for a murderer and the missing Hebert heirs embraces worlds within worldsâ€”splendid but dangerous Garden District digs, Faubourg Marigny drug dens, broken-down projects, lowdown bars, an elegant hangout for crooked politicos, and a dealerâ€™s crib masquerading as a sultanâ€™s palace, harem and all. A palm reader warns Detective Langdon of danger, but it comes when she's least prepared for it. Before long, the mobâ€™s involved (maybe thereâ€™s a reason Hebertâ€™s Restaurant won the lucrative casino contract), and so are family secrets so ugly theyâ€™d make Tennessee Williams wince. Everyone has themâ€”the Heberts, the mob princess, even the crooked cop.

And Langdon finds she should have listened to the damned palm reader. A superior police procedural!

THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS

Politics makes the strangest bedfellows of all and in New Orleans, a psychopathâ€™s running for mayor. Not just the usual harmless megalomaniacâ€”a murderer and a monster. His supporters and a good proportion of would-be voters think heâ€™s just a kindly preacher-man and handily crucify anyone who says otherwise. Enter Detective Skip Langdon, who met the Rev. Errol Jacomine on a case, finds him pretty much the personification of evil, and can point to a pile of corpses to prove it.

But Langdonâ€™s fresh out of street cred. On administrative leave after shooting someone, sheâ€™s become the Cassandra of the police departmentâ€”everything she says gets put down to paranoia. So finding the proof to discredit Jacomine becomes her obsession until he kidnaps a couple of kids she cares aboutâ€”and then it turns into a mission from hell.

Langdon has to bull her way through a hurricane to find the small army of Jacomineâ€™s thugs whoâ€™ve got 15-year-old Sheila, the closest thing she has to a niece, and Sheilaâ€™s friend, whoâ€™s having the mother of inappropriate love affairsâ€”with someone dangerously close to Jacomine.
