Books Set in the United States: Louisiana

The Cottoncrest Curse, by Michael H. Rubin (2014)

This book is billed as a legal thriller, but merely perpetuates stereotypes of blacks, Jews and red-neck Southerners.  It starts with a bloody murder of the Judge and his young wife, who are the owners of Cottoncrest, a still thriving plantation following the American Civil War.  It appears to be a murder suicide, but the local sheriff suspects otherwise.  Throughout the book, the author tosses out legal terms that are unique to Louisiana.  I never cared about any of the characters.
