Choosing one book to recommend in Bill Loehfelm’s Maureen Coughlin series is difficult—all five books are superb—but decided to go with the Mardi Gras volume. A cocktail waitress on Staten Island in her debut, Maureen has since relocated to New Orleans and become a cop. Working the parade route as a rookie, Maureen is dealing with a half-naked man who throws himself on the hood of a car in the parade when she hears gunshots—and a twisty, fascinating story begins to unfold. Maureen is an engaging heroine—flawed sure, but likable—and Loehfelm’s wild and crazy Carnival season is one of the best in fiction.
