18. I think my fascination with New Orleans began with Anne Rice and Lestat

Other books set in New Orleans that I have enjoyed:

the Skip Langdon and Talba Wallace series (both by Julie Smith)
Sarah Cradit's incredible series/saga of the Deschanel family (lots of paranormal goings on ) This is a huge series
Tubby Dubonnet Mysteries COLORFUL CHARACTERS, MOUTH-WATERING CUISINE, AND NEW ORLEANS' SEEDIEST CRIME SCENES — AT A KILLER PRICE

A simple man with a refined palate, maverick New Orleans lawyer Tubby Dubonnet has a penchant for fishing, Old Fashioneds, off-track betting, and fighting evil while passing a good time. Passing a good time, of course, includes dodging drug dealers, running from the mob, solving medical lab murder mysteries, thwarting hurricane season bank heists, and keeping a crime boss out of local politics. Now you can read his first five Anthony and Edgar-nominated thrilling adventures for a bargain price!

Settle down — preferably with a hearty snack — and enjoy this hard-boiled but humorous mystery series that's as chock full of laughs as it is chills!
Witching New Orleans

I am also a sucker for books set in South Florida. This is probably because we spent a week in the Keys and had an absolute blast. And of course, "Florida Man" insanity. The ultimate South Florida books are by Carl Hiaasen of course.
