Gumbo Ya-Ya Exit

The Big Uneasy 10

In New Orleans, secrets simmer—and murders don’t stay cold.

Madeline Baker, a Baker’s Dozen daughter, juggles the front desk at Baker Boys Investigations and her secret life as mystery author S.C. Fitz-Dankworthington.

But when Quinn Ellery hunts her alter ego after his neighbor—another S.C.—is murdered, her orderly world boils over.

Then Quinn’s grandmother drags Maddie into a 60-year-old killing—until a bomb nearly buries them all. As old secrets and family lies bubble up, Maddie and Quinn’s sparks heat up faster than gumbo. Can they crack both cases before the past kills again?

Brimming with suspense, sizzling romance, and New Orleans zest, Gumbo Ya-Ya Exit delivers thrills, laughs, and Cajun chaos in the Big Uneasy series. In this city, secrets spice the pot—and love’s the hottest dish.
