Tiara, Sash and Scandal: A Humorous Louisiana Mystery

About Tiara, Sash and Scandal: A Humorous Louisiana Mystery

St. Claire Parish loves a crown. It loves a cover-up more.

Rox Carver is supposed to stay invisible. Burned by a case she cannot talk about, she is tucked into a Louisiana parish safehouse with one rule: no attention. Her courthouse cover job should be quiet, boring, and safe.

Then pageant season arrives and two unstoppable older women volunteer her as a chaperone, planting her backstage with the sponsors, the rivalries, and the money. After a glittering kickoff event, the front-runner turns up dead and the town splits clean in two: saint or snake. The sheriff wants calm.

The pageant machine wants the show to go on. And someone starts adjusting the truth the way this parish always does: by shifting emails, smoothing timelines, and controlling who gets to touch the paperwork. Rox follows the only trail that holds under pressure: access.
