Plantation Shudders

A Cajun Country Mystery, Book 1

By: Ellen Byron

Narrated by: Meredith Mitchell

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.

Surprisingly enjoyable

The characters are fleshed out and relatable. The story is plausible. The mystery is never obvious. I enjoyed this quite a lot.

great

At first the narrators voice seemed electronic and clipped like a robot, but ALL the other voices seemed great. I am guessing it was all the same performer, but the narrator voice was annoying sadly all the way to the end. Loved the story.

I loved it

Very good I have read worse loved the characters good great and will read the next

Southern Authenticity

This Mississippi girl appreciates the genuine southern perspective and characters. Hollywood often gets it all wrong. I loved the addition of the French Creole language and culture. My favorite character was Gran. Very good plot, presented in a flowing, easy to follow manner. I was pleased with the conclusion. I will listen to or read more from this author.

A nice sprinkle of local Louisiana culture

Nice vacation read. Unlike a lot of series, this doesn’t leave the story unresolved just leaves you wanting to know more about the characters
