A mystery set at Antoine's, the famous New Orleans restaurant that has been a landmark since 1840. The purpose of the party, hosted by wealthy businessman Orson Foxworth, is to introduce his niece Ruth, who is visiting for the Mardi Gras season, to a circle of his friends. Ruth soon notes tensions between Odile St. Amant, her husband Leonce, and her sister Caresse. Odile is suffering from a nervous disorder, and her husband is openly flirting with Caresse. The undercurrents lead to murder...
A huge bestseller in its day, the book still draws visitors to New Orleans and to Antoine's for a memorable meal.
