Synopsis (Goodreads):

When an old friend reaches out to Sinclair Crowe, he and his wife, Jayne Frost, head to New Orleans for what they think will be simple visit before they finally make the journey back to the North Pole. They’re looking forward to some fun and great food.

But things in the Big Easy are about to get downright difficult when a sudden death and a shocking incident threaten Sinclair’s friend’s reputation. It’s pretty obvious things are not as they seem, but digging deeper means putting themselves in danger.

Can Jayne and Sinclair find justice for all those involved without getting nixed in New Orleans?

Thoughts on Nixed in New Orleans: Jayne and Sin are heading to New Orleans and...things take a turn while they're there. Which isn't unexpected, exactly, given what these two have dealt with in the past, but this was supposed to be a relaxing trip where Sin got to visit with an old friend and Jayne got to sample some delicious New Orleans food before the two of them headed back to the North Pole to wait on the arrival of their wee one.

Then a friend of Sin's friend (and someone the couple have recently met) commits suicide and both Jayne and Sin have reservations about it actually being suicide. So they quietly start looking into it. Because that's what they do.

Complicating things are some local break-ins and a little case of blackmail. On the plus side, Birdie manages to pull some strings (because that lady is CONNECTED!) and soon Jayne and Sin are meeting with the local police chief to help put the pieces of this case together.

A little danger, some shifty individuals, more than one excellent meal, and two supernatural individuals who can't let injustice lie.
