Resumen del Editor
A fantastic new cozy mystery series with a vintage flair from USA Today bestselling and Agatha Award-winning author Ellen Byron.
Twenty-eight-year-old widow Ricki James leaves Los Angeles to start a new life in New Orleans after her showboating actor husband perishes doing a stupid internet stunt. The Big Easy is where she was born and adopted by the NICU nurse who cared for her after Ricki’s teen mother disappeared from the hospital.
Ricki’s dream comes true when she joins the quirky staff of Bon Vee Culinary House Museum, the spectacular former Garden District home of late bon vivant Genevieve “Vee” Charbonnet, the city’s legendary restauranteur. Ricki is excited about turning her avocation—collecting vintage cookbooks—into a vocation by launching the museum’s gift shop, Miss Vee’s Vintage Cookbooks and Kitchenware. Then she discovers that a box of donated vintage cookbooks contains the body of a cantankerous Bon Vee employee who was fired after being exposed as a book thief.
The skills Ricki has developed ferreting out hidden vintage treasures come in handy for investigations. But both her business and Bon Vee could wind up as deadstock when Ricki’s past as curator of a billionaire’s first edition collection comes back to haunt her.
Will Miss Vee’s Vintage Cookbooks and Kitchenware be a success…or a recipe for disaster?
Reseñas de la Crítica
“Fans of Byron’s award-winning ‘Cajun Country’ mysteries will enjoy her return to New Orleans with an engaging, fun cast of characters.”–Library Journal
“BAYOU BOOK THIEF is a murder-mystery set around a shop for vintage cookbooks that includes a dash of a diverse cast of likeable characters, each with a pinch of eccentricity. This is a story with humor, expertly paced, and with more twists than a corkscrew. Cheer for a loveable heroine in Ricki James. Watch out for those peacocks. Nobody does New Orleans like Ellen Byron.”–Gabriel Valjan, author of the Company Files and Shane Cleary Mysteries series.
“Rickie James-Diaz and her quintessential New Orleans friends are bound to captivate readers as they wander their way through mayhem and murder! Don't miss this first in a new series!”–Terrie Farley Moran, Agatha Award-winning author of the Read 'Em and Eat Mysteries

Great New Cozy Set in The Big East
I thoroughly enjoyed this new cozy series set in New Orleans, primarily in the beautiful Garden District although it also takes place in other areas including the French Quarter. Ricky has returned to the town of her birth after several unfortunate events including the accidental death of her husband leaving her a widow at 28. She now has a new job inside a mansion which is a museum to a famous and legendary female chef, in which she can sell vintage cookbooks and other related cooking and entertaining items. Ricky used to curate a rare book collection in Los Angeles for a millionaire convicted of running a Ponzi scheme.
There were a number of subplots including 2 murders with plenty of suspects. The plot was well developed and the way the murders were solved was surprising. I never suspected the killer.
There is a separate mystery in that Ricky was abandoned as a newborn in a New Orleans hospital. Fortunately a maternity nurse took her home and raised her. They later moved to Los Angeles. Now Ricky is trying to find some relatives.
These characters are wonderful and well developed and I look forward to seeing what happens to Ricky and the rest of the main characters.
The narration was well done and brought the story to life.

Ok - a little trite
This story was ok, but nothing special. It is the first book in the series so I assume they will get better. All kinds of weird, dangling plot threads were tied together at the end in a way that was silly and completely unrealistic.

New series
situational-humor, verbal-humor, NOLA, cozy-mystery, recipes, murder, murder-investigation, law-enforcement, widow, family, famous-author, adopted, amateur-sleuth, antiques, senior-citizens****
A fun start to a new series by a favorite author and set in NOLA. It doesn't get any better! New quirky characters populate this cozy set in the beautiful Garden District. The whodunit is well done, the background works well to introduce those characters who will continue, and there are plenty of laughs.
Amy Melissa Bentley is the very perky narrator

Great First In Series
I loved this first in series and found Ricki and all (most) of the characters to be likeable, and those who weren't, weren't supposed to be. NOLA is a much used location for mysteries, cozy and non-cozy, alike, and I wondered about yet another series set there. However, I needn't have worried. Ellen Byron did her usual brilliant job of making the location, the story, and the characters her own. Ricki's shop is delightful, as is the entire premise of Bon Vie. I actually did not figure out the killer before the official unveiling, and that does not happen often. I gave the book a 4 rather than 5 star rating because as with many first in series, the beginning is rather cluttered with names, relationships, descriptions, etc. It is necessary, but it always makes for a slower start to me. That said, this is a fun read, a challenging mystery(ies), and I know Ricki and company are my delightful new friends. I cannot wait for the next book.

Best NOLA-based cozy since Frances Parkinson Keyes
This first-in-series is full of old tropes: currently single young woman moves to a new city to get away from accusations and scandals not of her making, murder in odd circumstances, cops, our heroine investigates, budding romance, big reveal, hints of more to come… and I almost never give a cozy 5 stars.
So why 5 stars here? Because Byron does it so well while accurately portraying a city I love. The characters are just the right blend of lovable, mysterious, and detestable. The plot twists around on itself so artfully as to keep us guessing all the way. The big reveal is the best in the history of cozy mysteries, had me laughing with delight at how cleverly it played out. I love the food and restaurant talk - New Orleans is where you meet for lunch so you can talk about where to go for supper. I have family that has lived in the Garden District and in the Irish Channel and I could picture the streets as Ricki moves about. (And yes, there are speed monitoring cameras everywhere, especially school zones, in effect even when school is out, and most locals have a collection of tickets.)
This just made me happy. Great job, Ellen Byron, and I’m starting Book 2 immediately.
