Summary
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.

Really light and fun
Light hearted, almost cosy mystery. Narrator very good other than her Australian accent but I won't hold that against her. I'll definitely be trying the next one

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

Southern mystery
I enjoyed this book. It is the first book by this author that I have read or listened to but it won't be my last as it is a easy and entertaining listen, it's also the first in the series. I liked the characters, especially the feisty Grandmother and the southern charm that is nicely portrayed in the story. The story is mostly focused on the mystery but there is a little romance blossoming. The mystery was interesting and kept me guessing with all the suspects. It was also nice that the suspects were all in one place and it lead to some amusing investigating. It's just a fun mystery with a small town feel and rivalry.
Maggie returns home after a bad break up to help run the family bed and breakfast. With new advertising the B&B is full for the first time in a long time. Things seem to be going well with everybody mostly getting on, until a power cut sends the house into darkness. When the lights come on they find one of the guest laying dead on the floor, his new wife panics and reached for her pills only to fall down dead. An old family rival is now the sheriff and Maggie is worried about his investigation. Will he investigate properly or will he let his feeling and grudge get in the way? When it turns out the wife was murdered and she had a past connection to the town Maggie not only starts to worry about how the murder will effect the family business but also for her Grandmothers freedom. When a new detective arrives on the scene things being to look up until another body is found. Maggie will just have to run her own investigation to keep everybody out of jail. But could one of her guest's really be a killer?
I liked the narrator and thought she helped sell the small town southern farm of the story with some great voices.

I enjoyed this easy to listen story.
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.
