About this listen

Check in for some Southern hospitality in Plantation Shudders, the Cajun Country series debut from Ellen Byron.

It's the end of the summer and prodigal daughter Maggie Crozat has returned home to her family's plantation-turned-bed-and-breakfast in Louisiana. The Crozats have an inn full of guests for the local food festival: elderly honeymooners, the Cajun Cuties, a mysterious stranger from Texas, a couple of hipster lovebirds, and a trio of Georgia frat boys. But when the elderly couple keels over dead within minutes of each other - one from very unnatural causes - Maggie and her family suddenly become suspects in a murder.

With the help of Bo Durand, the town's handsome new detective, Maggie must investigate to clear her name while holding the family business together at the same time. And the deeper she digs, the more she wonders: Are all of the guests really there for a vacation, or do they have ulterior motives? Decades-old secrets and stunning revelations abound in Ellen Byron's charming cozy debut, Plantation Shudders.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

I really enjoyed this story. A relatively gentle murder mystery, it had excellent moments of humour and well sketched characters.

Great

Not my usual Murder/mystery setting , but it was so full of interesting characters plus the crime itself that I was hooked . Hoping there will be more on audible …..only seems to be on more at the moment .

Much enjoyed

I know nothing of the south so dont know if the characters are truly represented, but I enjoyed them and the plot and also recommend the second book. Nothing tense - but it does make me want to sit down and enjoy a cocktail and visit this place.

I enjoyed this easy to listen story.

I didn’t guess the ending so that’s a massive plus, but mostly I loved the characters.
