Murder on the Mardi Gras Float: A Ruby Jean Turner Cozy Mystery

By Ida Shoulders

She brought forty-six people to New Orleans.

Mardi Gras is not for people who believe a schedule is a promise. Ruby Jean Turner knows that before the first bus crosses the state line - but she has two buses, a rooming list, a parade route, and a trumpet Brother Alton is absolutely not allowed to play, and she has never lost a passenger yet.

Then one of her own is dead on a float route she planned herself.

The detective working the case never heard of Mount Zion, and the one officer Ruby Jean does know came down on the bus with no badge that works in Louisiana. The people who can tell her what happened are the same people she has to get home. And somewhere in a city built for letting go, somebody from Mount Zion came to settle something that has been waiting a long time.

She has the list. She has the count.

The third Ruby Jean Turner Mystery - a Southern cozy about church folks in a city that does not keep a schedule, and the kind of trouble that travels.
