This is the second book in the series and even better than the first. Dora and Evie are on a road trip to recover the evidence that will clear Dora of a murder charge. Arriving in New Orleans, they immediately discover that retrieving the previously mailed Buddha containing the proof of innocence is going to be much more difficult than anticipated, not surprising considering these two seem to have a talent for finding trouble. Encountering friends and foes, the BFFs are plunged into another adventure involving a murder or two, stakeouts, gourmet food, a parade and even a naked poetry reading. There is an incident involving dumpster donuts that is hilarious. New Orleans is such a fabulous city and one of my favorites, and the author makes it come alive with unique characters and events so appropriate for this special destination. The story reminds me of my younger days with my BFF adventures, although as far as I know no murder was involved. I highly recommend this series and eagerly await #3. Note: I received an ARC; however, this is my voluntary review of a book I loved reading.
