“Books were her ticket to untold journeys, her storehouse of knowledge, her refuge. To this day, Carmela loved nothing better than to curl up with a good book and a steaming cup of tea.”

"'If I didn't know you better, Ms. Bertrand...I'd say you were veering dangerously close to slander.'
'You don't know me at all, Mr. DesLauriers,' replied Carmela. 'But if you did, you'd know I don't veer. I pretty much set a direct course.'"

"'Don't try to bully me, friend. I haven't lived in the South all my life and dealt with blustering men without picking up a trick or two. Fact is, it's a little bit like handling bull elephants. Kindness combined with brute force.'" - Carmela

Book 1 done!

I've read the first two of the three books included in this - love the characters and the real sense of New Orleans that you get from these stories.
