Maggie Crozat has the Halloween heebie-jeebies in USA Today bestselling and Agatha Award-winning author Ellen Byron's howlingly funny sixth Cajun Country mystery.
SYNOPSIS:
Maggie Crozat, proprietor of a historic Cajun Country B&B, prefers to let the good times roll. But hard times rock her hostelry when a new cell phone app makes it easy for locals to rent their spare rooms to tourists. With October--and Halloween--approaching, she conjures up a witch-crafty marketing scheme to draw visitors to Pelican, Louisiana.
Five local plantation B&Bs host "Pelican's Spooky Past" packages, featuring regional crafts, unique menus, and a pet costume parade. Topping it off, the derelict Dupois cemetery is the suitably sepulchral setting for the spine-chilling play Resurrection of a Spirit. But all the witchcraft has inevitably conjured something: her B&B guests are being terrified out of town by sightings of the legendary rougarou, a cross between a werewolf and vampire.
When, in the Dupois cemetery, someone costumed as a rougarou stumbles onstage during the play--and promptly gives up the ghost, the rougarou mask having been poisoned with strychnine, Maggie is on the case. But as more murders stack up, Maggie fears that Pelican's spooky past has nothing on its bloodcurdling present
REVIEW:
Of course we LOVE this series, as it is set in Louisiana! But more than that, Ellen makes sure to add our local flavor into every cozy mystery in this fun series, and this time it's the Rougarou (please note, we capitalize it, cause you KNOW, Boogie Man and all...LOL)In this fun Halloween story, the local B&B's are trying to help each other out as they face undue competition from a AirBNB type magnate. For Maggie's family it comes at a bad time, as distant relatives come to visit. But little do they know this isn't just reunion time. As it gets closer to Halloween, the bodies start stacking up, and of course Maggie is right there in the middle, and it's down to her, and her family, to figure out what is really happening! A fun, quick read, it will make you pine for the chill days of fall (especially if like us, you're in 100 degree heat!)
