Mischief in Mudbug

Romance Contemporary | Mystery

Sabine LeVeche couldn't be having a worse day; the ghost of her best friend's dead mother-in-law (yep, you heard me right), has just shown up and Sabine knows that can't be good news. Where Helena Henry appears, trouble is certain to follow. Sure enough, Sabine is dying. In need of a blood relative fast, Sabine hires tough and sexy P.I. Beau Villeneuve to track down her kin. Beau knows from experience that finding lost family members can often bring more grief than joy to the person searching for their roots. He fears this will be the case with Sabine and not knowing why she is desperate to find her family, he tries to talk her out of the search. Beau isn't the only one who wants Sabine to leave the past alone. A series of attacks on Sabine convinces Beau there is something about Sabine's family history someone will kill to keep secret. Light-hearted and very funny at times, MISCHIEF IN MUDBUG moves along at a breakneck pace. Although this is book two in the series, new readers won't have trouble keeping up. The characters from book one are very much in evidence and their backstory is explained. The ghost is central to the story and I have a feeling will be in more Mudbug stories to follow. A breezy mystery with romance overtones will keep you turning the pages.

SUMMARY

Everyone in Mudbug, Louisiana, knows that when Helena Henry shows up, no good will come of it. Especially now that Helena is dead. And more meddlesome than ever. Sabine LeVeche needs to locate a blood relative fast—her life depends on it. Her only ally is the smart-mouthed ghost of Helena Henry. Until Beau Villeneuve agrees to take the case. The super-sexy PI is a master at finding missing persons—and all the spots that make Sabine weak in the knees. But as they start to uncover the truth about the past, it becomes clear that someone out there wants to bury Sabine along with all her parents’ secrets. And she realizes what they say is true: family really can be the death of you.
