Can you recommend some good New Orleans detective fiction books?

Another one is 'The Moviegoer' by Walker Percy. It gives a deep look into the human condition against the backdrop of New Orleans. It has a lot of local flavor and interesting characters.

Sure. One great New Orleans detective novel is 'The Neon Rain' by James Lee Burke. It features detective Dave Robicheaux and his investigations in the seedy underbelly of New Orleans.

I would suggest 'The Awakening' by Kate Chopin. It's set in New Orleans and delves into themes of female liberation and self - discovery. Also, 'Jitterbug Perfume' by Tom Robbins has elements of New Orleans in it, with its unique blend of magic, history, and eccentric characters. 'The Neon Rain' by James Lee Burke is a crime novel set in New Orleans, showing the seedy underbelly as well as the charm of the city.

There is also 'The House of the Seven Gables' which, while not solely set in New Orleans, has elements related to the early southern gothic genre that was prevalent in New Orleans. It has a sense of mystery and old - world charm that was characteristic of early New Orleans fiction.

Sure. 'A Streetcar Named Desire' by Tennessee Williams is a great example. It's set in New Orleans and delves deep into the complex human relationships and the unique atmosphere of the city.

I'm not entirely sure what 'Gaunteieer Fiction' specifically is. But there are many works that are set in New Orleans and have a touch of the extraordinary. For example, 'The Witching Hour' also by Anne Rice. It delves deep into the dark and mysterious side of New Orleans, with its old mansions and secretive families. It has elements of magic, mystery and family drama all intertwined, which could potentially be part of this 'Gaunteieer Fiction' concept if it involves the unknown and the fictional.

The Witching Hour by Anne Rice is another. It delves deep into the history and the spooky, magical side of New Orleans. There are all kinds of characters from different time periods, and Rice's detailed descriptions of the city make it come alive in the pages of the book.

Sure. 'The Beautiful' by Renée Ahdieh is set in a supernatural New Orleans. It has vampires and a really cool take on the city's nightlife and hidden underworld. It's a great blend of historical and supernatural elements.

Laura Joh Rowland's 'The Shogun's Daughter' which is set in part in New Orleans. It combines historical elements with mystery as the main character, Sano Ichiro, tries to solve crimes while also dealing with the cultural and social differences in the city.

Well, one characteristic is the strong sense of place. New Orleans with its unique architecture, music, and culture often becomes like a character itself in these stories. For example, the French Quarter might be a key setting where many of the investigations take place.
