 Word of the Day: lagniappe



 The word lagniappe has appeared in four articles on NYTimes.com in the past year, including on June 6 in “Crime Fiction Filled With Dark Passages and Dark Hearts,” by Sarah Weinman. The article includes a review of “A Murder for Miss Hortense,” by Mel Pennant: Pennant’s plot and characters are top-notch, but the lagniappe of the novel is her portrayal of Bigglesweigh, awash in minor drama that covers up major secrets. She leaves the door wide open for Miss Hortense to probe more crimes, a welcome development indeed.
