In Glory Be, a captivating crime series debut set in Louisiana, Glory Broussard, an outspoken amateur sleuth, investigates her nun friend’s suspicious death, ruled a suicide by police. Convinced there’s more to the story, Glory, alongside her troubled daughter, delves into a web of secrets involving oil tycoons, church gossips, and a rumored voodoo priestess. Despite being overlooked as an older Black woman in a segregated town, Glory is determined to uncover the truth in this riveting and charming mystery perfect for fans of Richard Osman.
