Welcome to Litsy!

The Crozats feared that past murders at Crozat Plantation B&B might spell the death of their beloved estate, but they�ve managed to survive the scandal. Now there�s a tr�s bigger story in Pelican, Louisiana: the upcoming nuptials between Maggie Crozat�s nemesis, Police Chief Rufus Durand, and her co-worker, Vanessa Fleer. When everyone else refuses the job of being Vanessa's Maid of Honor, Maggie reluctantly takes up the title and finds herself tasked with a long list of duties--the most important of which is entertaining Vanessa�s cousin, Ginger Fleer-Starke. But just days before the wedding, Ginger�s lifeless body is found on the bayou and the Pelican PD, as well as the Crozats, have another murder mystery on their hands. There�s a gumbo-potful of suspects, including an ex-Marine with PTSD, an annoying local newspaper reporter, and Vanessa�s own sparkplug of a mother. But when it looks like the investigation is zeroing in on Vanessa as the prime suspect, Maggie reluctantly adds keeping the bride-to-be out of jail to her list of Maid of Honor responsibilities in Body on the Bayou, Ellen Byron's funny and engaging follow up to her critically acclaimed novel Plantation Shudders.
