Fatal
Cajun Festival
Ellen
Byron
The
town of Pelican, Louisiana is putting on a music festival, and Maggie
Crozat is helping out by operating the Crozat booth at the festival
dedicated to selling mouth-watering pralines. Maggie is also helping
out at the family's bed and breakfast located in their antebellum
plantation house. Since some of the musical guests will be staying at
the B&B, there is a lot to be done, mainly catering to all types
of food preferences, trendy diets, and picky eaters.
Maggie's
friend Gaynell is expected to perform for the hometown crowd at the
festival, but another singer might upstage her. Tammy Barker a
singing sensation who made it big in country music is returning to
Pelican, her hometown, for the festival and she's had it out for
Gaynell since high school. When Tammy's manager, Pony Picker is
killed on stage, she isn't shy about pointing the finger at Gaynell.
But Maggie knows her friend Gaynell too well to believe she's a
murderer. Which means she will have to help police detective Bo
Durand, who just happens to be her finance, find the real killer.
Fatal
Cajun Festival is
a fun, lighthearted read full of colorful characters and Louisiana
style charm. With a picturesque setting, dialogue that made me laugh,
and a fast pace that kept me turning pages, this southern delight was
a pleasure to read. And if that weren't enough to inspire readers the
author has included a few local recipes. I just hope no one will mind
if I decline the sweet potato pralines.
Thanks
to Netgalley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an
honest review.
