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.

So so

This book was ok but it was too southern. It reminded me of the “gone with the wind” southern. I have lived in the south all of my life with family all over the south especially Louisiana but it may be that being African American I just could not identify with this southern aristocracy. The narration was more 1800’s type southern but she did ok.

A really good book!

This was included with Audible and I wasn't sure how it would be. It was a really good book! I'm not sure why it got.se.bad reviews. The storyline was good and the narrator was really good too!!

Plantation

Great narrator excellent mystery with characters that were well drawn made for a fun story

I love it!

With social distancing and more time to myself, I have been going thru books like crazy!! I have been looking for something new to read.. I absolutely loved this first book in the series! I already have the next one cued and ready to go! the story line was great and I love the main characters! The narrator does an amazing job!

Just a fun cozy mystery

I don't have much to say about this book, except that it was so relaxing and easy to listen to. And I could listen to it without worrying about my kids hearing it. It wasn't too complicated so I could usually pick it up and put it down without worrying about missing a whole lot of important details. And while there some "dumb Southern" characters, there's plenty of kind, intelligent Southern characters to counteract that Southern stereotype, which I appreciate considering I'm from Georgia and now live in Alabama. 👍👍
