Cajun Kiss Of Death by Ellen Byron Great Escapes Book Tour Review

 

About the book

The next shot from Cupid’s bow may be fatal in USA Today bestselling, Agatha Award-winning author Ellen Byron’s hearty and delightful seventh Cajun Country mystery.

In Pelican, Louisiana, Valentine’s Day has a way of warming the heart, despite the February chill. But the air at Crozat Plantation B&B turns decidedly frigid when celebrity chef Phillippe Chanson checks in. And when the arrogant Phillippe–in town to open his newest Cajun-themed restaurant–perishes in a fiery boat crash, Maggie Crozat’s dear friend JJ lands in very cold water.

Did JJ, proprietor of Junie’s Oyster Bar and Dance Hall, murder Phillippe because he feared the competition? Might Maggie’s mother, Ninette, have bumped off the chef for stealing one of her cherished recipes? Or was the culprit a local seafood vendor, miffed because Phillippe was somehow able to sell oysters for a remarkably reasonable price, despite an oyster shortage?

Maggie had planned to devote her February to art lessons in New Orleans, a present from her sweetheart, Bo. But now she has to focus on helping her friend and her mother cross a murder charge off the menu. Meanwhile, Maggie receives a series of anonymous gifts that begin as charming but grow increasingly disturbing. Does Maggie have an admirer–or a stalker? And are these mysterious gifts somehow related to Phillippe’s murder?

Blood may be thicker than water, but this case is thicker than gumbo. And solving it will determine whether Maggie gets hearts and roses–or hearse and lilies–this Valentine’s Day.

And I thought 

I love visiting Pelican Louisiana and the Crozat  Plantation B&B even though there always seems to be a murder or two happening close by. 

Maggie Crozat is a charming leading lady and pretty savvy at finding clues even if she isn't trying. 

I have loved each if the books I have had the chance to read in this series. 

I love that the author provides a cast of characters in the beginning.  

And ends the book with yummy recipes. 

And a bit of trivia about Louisiana.

I love the covers! Ellen Byron's Cajun Country Series has the best covers in the Cozy World. 

If you like a good Cozy Mystery you'll enjoy this great series.  

I received a complimentary copy.

My review will appear on retail sites and Good Reads.
