About this listen

In the highly anticipated follow up to the award-winning Glory Be, Glory Broussard finds herself enmeshed in the mystery of her ex-husband's death . . . with an unlikely ally at her side.

After her life was turned upside down by solving the murder of her best friend, Sister Amity Gay, all Glory Brousard wanted was a little peace and quiet. That included getting back to her Sunday morning routine as a bookie in a coffee shop, and planning the annual Mardi Gras gala for her church. But there’s no rest for Glory once the woman who broke up her marriage walks in to CC's Coffee House and asks for help finding her missing husband. It doesn’t take long before Glory finds him . . . with a knife impaled in his chest.

No one knew the man—and his dark side—better than Glory Broussard, who would rather let the local authorities take the lead. But Glory’s daughter, still reeling from problems of her own, insists on her involvement. Glory’s search for the murderer takes her deep inside the seedy world of Louisiana casinos and racetracks, from their high roller VIP rooms with chatty dealers to stables filled with thoroughbred horses and shady dealings.

As if solving a murder and sparring with the woman who had an affair with her ex-husband isn’t enough, Glory has to get to the bottom of her daughter’s secrets, and there are a few members of her church group who would love to see her fail in her Mardi Gras responsibilities. Walloped with one revelation after another, Glory’s no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is attitude and strength is tested like never before. But it’s going to take more than that to keep her down in this charming and gripping new novel in the award-winning and critically acclaimed Glory Broussard mystery series.

This book was funny, relatable, and engaging. A great sequel to Glory Be. The performance of the voice actor was very good, even though I’m more of a duet fan. I waited for this one and was not disappointed. Let’s do it again! When’s the next book coming out?!

I can’t wait for another one!

I enjoyed listening to a story about a smart, strong-willed, witty, yet flawed black woman. The mystery is a bit thin, but interesting enough. I'll take it, since is gives me more of the snappy dialog delivered in the delicious southern drawl of Glory Broussard and the shady goings-on in Lafayette Louisiana. As usual, Bahni Turpin is a superb.

I Love Glory!

I LOVE Glory and Book 2 was a wonderful next chapter in her sleuthing journey. So many twists and turns that left me wondering whodunnit until the reveal! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We all need some Glory in our lives!

Good book 2

The characters are endearing. The setting is also alluring, but not employed to its fullest potential. This is a diamond in the rough destined for something superior. Although there is a lack of sophistication in terms of writing, there is a kernel of genuine suave here. I encourage readers and listeners alike to foster the growth and development of this author. We will not be disappointed, and no one paid me or gave me anything free for this review. I am a retired English Professor giving a shout out to talent when I see it.

Great Start

Sometimes the second book in a series is weaker than the first but not so with this sophomore entry in the Glory Broussard mystery series (or at least I hope it will be a series!) Glory is a feisty older woman with a prickly facade that distracts people from her keen intellect. Okay, her cheating husband left her for a younger woman, but Glory has figured out how to calculate odds and is running his bookie business better than he ever did. When he is murdered, his new wife asks for Glory's help because of her previous success at cracking a murder case (in book 1, "Glory Be"). Glory takes on the investigation (as an amateur) mostly because of her daughter. Her bitterness sometimes gets the better of her when dealing with wife No. 2, but I've been there and the feelings Glory has are real.

The culture of Louisiana is a secondary character in these books. Even native-born Glory navigates it with some difficulty. Wow, those church ladies are judge-y! Glory is observant and hilarious and human and all the other characters are fascinating, too. The voice talent here is also wonderful. Don't skip these books.

As Good as the First
