Review: Doesn't know if it's a mystery or a travel/restaurant guide

I bought this story by accident, intending to download only the free sample.  It was an OK mystery read -- certainly A LOT better than many of the other 99 cent downloads that people gratuitously rate five stars.  What was distracting from the plot, however, were the constant extraneous details relating to New Orleans. I think better editing would have gotten rid of paragraphs that tell us every street taken between A to Z.  Back history enriches a story, but too much weighs down the action and this story felt heavy because of that.  Nevertheless, it was great to read a mystery with a female Creole protagonist and one can see potential in the author's writing.  Probably worth a 3.5.
