Mystery | Contemporary | Thriller

The Crozats feared that past murders at Crozat Plantation B&B might spell the death of their beloved estate, but they’ve managed to survive the scandal. Now there’s a très bigger story in Pelican, Louisiana: the upcoming nuptials between Maggie Crozat’s nemesis, Police Chief Rufus Durand, and her co-worker, Vanessa Fleer.

But just days before the wedding, a woman’s lifeless body is found on the bayou behind Crozat Plantation. The Pelican PD, as well as the Crozats, have another murder mystery with a gumbo-potful of suspects on their hands.

Packed with Southern charm, BODY ON THE BAYOU reignites the colorful characters introduced in PLANTATION SHUDDERS, which is nominated for the 2016 Agatha Award for Best First Mystery, the 2016 Lefty Award for Best Humorous Mystery, and was Library Journal’s Debut of the Month.
