The Bayou Mystery

By: K. L. Bordeaux

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When textile historian Eliza Bennett is invited to a secluded Louisiana hunting camp to examine a rare collection of Acadian brown cotton weavings, it feels like long-overdue validation for her life’s work. These are not museum curiosities—they are living artifacts of survival, displacement, and resilience, hidden deep in the bayou and guarded by one of Louisiana’s most powerful families.

But Eliza doesn’t arrive alone.

By her side is Merlin—a sharp-tongued, world-weary orange tabby who talks, judges relentlessly, and has solved more murders than most small-town police departments. He’s unimpressed by pretension, deeply suspicious of secrets, and immediately certain that something at this camp is very wrong.

As tensions simmer among the guests—an unfaithful wife, a watchful husband, and a so-called family friend with too many secrets—the swamp itself becomes a silent accomplice. Steep banks. Hidden waters. Old grudges. And a weekend meant for hunting that ends in murder.

With the truth tangled in threads of betrayal and history literally woven into the evidence, Eliza and Merlin must unravel a deadly knot before the bayou claims another victim.

Rich in Southern atmosphere, razor-sharp dialogue, and feline attitude, The Bayou Mystery blends cultural history, cozy suspense, and dark humor into a page-turning whodunit where nothing—and no one—is as harmless as it seems.
