Hi,
I'm compiling a list of mystery/crime novels set during Mardi Gras in

Petulia liked animals, especially pigs, because they had wobbly noses.
Tiffany quite liked animals too, but no one except other animals liked
animals as much as Petulia.

A few other authors to check: Robert Skinner, James Lee Burke, James
Colbert, Barbara Colley, Kenneth Abel, Greg Herren, O'Neal De Noux, Tony
Fennelly, Jean Redmann. Their books may not be set during Carnival
season, but all write mysteries set in New Orleans. If you can't find
enough Mardi Gras mysteries, you may want to use some of these to fill
out the display.
