More Cajun Fun

Ellen Byron vividly describes Cajun country in this second installment of life in Pelican, Louisiana, Body on the Bayou. The larger than life Vanessa Fleer is finally marrying Rufus Durmand. Good thing because she is about to have his baby. 

When Vanessa's cousin Ginger arrives for the wedding, then is promptly murdered, it is up Maggie to find the killer and make sure the wedding goes off without a hitch. Inexplicably Maggie has been drafted as maid of honor for Vanessa and is assigned a long list of tasks to complete before the wedding. Each day more gets heaped on her. 

Adding to her stress is the arrival of her sort of boyfriend Bo's ex-wife who confides in Maggie that she wants to reconcile with her ex-husband, They have a special needs child and Maggie is sure she will lose in this battle for Bo. 

Another murder puts Vanessa behind bars on her wedding day and turns Pelican upside down. Fun, crazy exploits with a cast of characters you would love to know. Maggie has the patience of a saint to deal with maid of honor duties.
