Murder in the Bayou Boneyard by Ellen Byron

Murder in the Bayou Boneyard by Ellen Byron

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.

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.

Ellen Byron is a television writer, playwright, and freelance journalist who has written for USA Today. Wings, Still Standing, and Just Shoot Me are among her TV credits, and her writing has featured in Glamour, Redbook, and Seventeen, among other publications. She currently resides in the Los Angeles region with her husband, daughter, and the family's spoilt rescue dog. Ellen, a native New Yorker, still pines for her hometown and drives like a New York taxi driver. This is her third mystery set in Cajun Country.
