I've read several of Ms. Smith's Skip Langdon mysteries, but I think this one is the best so far, probably the first one that should be read in the series because it describes Skip's start with the New Orleans Police Department. It also covers a little of her life before that and her connections with the wealthy families of New Orleans. Her constant boyfriend, Steve Steinman, is also introduced into her life.

This story revolves around a totally dysfunctional family when the father/husband is murdered and just about any of them could have killed him for very good reasons. The plot is also intricate, and I was not really sure who murdered Chauncey St. Amant until the very end.
