It’s fall! And for most of us that means warm sweaters, falling leaves, maybe
a fire in the fireplace. But regardless of the weather where you live, it’s
time to read!

Mardi Gras Murder
Cajun Country Mystery #4
Crooked Lane Books
ISBN: 9781683317050
A flood has up-ended life in tiny
Pelican, Louisiana, and deposited the body of a stranger in the bayou behind
Crozat Plantation Bed and Breakfast. Maggie Crozat is determined to give the
John Doe a name and find out why he was murdered. Meanwhile, the post-flood
recovery has put a controversial exhibit about the little-known Louisiana
Orphan Train on hold. But the resilient citizens of Pelican aren’t about to let
some hundred-year flood ruin their Mardi Gras festivities, which include Courirs de Mardi Gras – Mardi Gras Runs
– a gumbo cook-off, and the Miss Pelican Mardi Gras Gumbo Queen pageant
contest. When a pageant judge is shot, Maggie
is convinced that his death is somehow connected to the stranger’s. And she
wonders - does someone want the gumbo-shaped pageant queen crown bad enough to
kill for it? Or are the deaths somehow related to the Orphan Train, which
delivered its last charges to Cajun Country in 1929?

An exploding Mardi Gras float has got to be
the strangest murder weapon scrappy sleuth Carmela Bertrand has ever
encountered in this latest Scrapbooking Mystery from the New York Times bestselling author.
It's Mardi Gras in New Orleans and scrapbook
shop owner Carmela Bertrand is excited to be attending the Pluvius Parade along
with her best friend Ava. Carmela's ex-husband Shamus rides by the duo on his
float at the head of the parade, when suddenly the revelry turns to disaster.
Shamus' float crashes and explodes, and although Shamus escapes unhurt, a
member of his krewe is killed.
Carmela and Ava plunge into an
investigation of the krewe-member's death, but as they dig deeper it starts to
look less like an accident and more like a murder....and Shamus seems less like
a victim, and more like a suspect.
