A Cajun Christmas Killing: A Cajun Country Mystery
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
The third recipe-stuffed installment in the Cajun Country cozy mystery series is a “fun and heartwarming . . . holiday treat that will keep you guessing until the end” (San Francisco Book Review).
Louisiana B&B owner Maggie Crozat joins forces with her longtime enemy to prevent a murderous Grinch from ruining Christmas.
Maggie Crozat is back home in bayou country during the most magical time of the year. In Pelican, Louisiana, Christmastime is a season of giant bonfires on the levee, zydeco carols, and pots of gumbo. Except, this year, the Grinch has come to stay at the family-run Crozat Plantation B&B. When he floods travel websites with vicious reviews, Maggie thinks she’s identified him as rival businessman Donald Baxter. That is, until he’s found stabbed to death at Maggie’s workplace. And Maggie and her loved ones become top suspects.
The Crozats quickly establish alibis, but Maggie’s boyfriend, Detective Bo Durand, remains under suspicion. With Bo sidelined during the investigation, Maggie finds herself forced to work with an unlikely ally: longtime family enemy Rufus Durand. Her sleuthing uncovers more suspects than drummers drumming, and lands her in the crosshairs of the murderer.
The sleigh bells are jingling, and the clock is ticking for Maggie and Rufus, who must catch the killer—or it will be the opposite of a Joyeux Noël.

After the events in Body on the Bayou, Maggie Crozat is back home in Pelican, LA, helping her family run the Crozat Plantation B&B. They're busy fielding guests and preparing for Christmas Eve on the Mississippi levee, where houses along the river will celebrate the holiday with bonfires. The season is feeling less than joyful, though, when an investor threatens the family business and then ends up murdered. With Maggie and her family under suspicion, she plays sleuth along with boyfriend Det. Bo Durand. VERDICT Amid the slew of Christmas cozies, Byron spices up the genre with her colorful Cajun Louisiana setting and entertaining protagonist; the Cajun recipes are an added treat.

Starred review from August 7, 2017
Byron’s superb third Cajun Country mystery featuring artist Maggie Crozat (after 2016’s Body on the Bayou) finds Maggie’s father, Tug, under a lot of stress because the family business, Preferred Property Collection, is under threat. Maggie learns from Uncle Tig, Tug’s twin brother, who buys historic properties and turns them into boutique hotels, that unscrupulous hedge fund manager Steve Harmon—a guest at the Crozat Plantation B and B—plans to take over PPC. Later, while giving a tour at Doucet Plantation, her maternal family’s ancestral home, Maggie discovers Harmon dead in a wing chair. In addition to various members of the Crozat family, Maggie’s main man, Det. Bo Durand of the Pelican, La., PD, becomes a suspect in Harmon’s murder. With Christmas and the arrival of the Cajun Santa, Papa Noel, just ahead, Maggie has to work fast to solve the crime. Stir in Bo’s ex-wife and Maggie’s former fiancé, and there’s no end to the mischief and mayhem in this exceptional cozy. Agent: Doug Grad, Doug Grad Literary Agency.
