Mardi Gras Murder (Cajun Country Mystery, #4)

Ellen Byron is a new author for me but I found the book to work well as a standalone mystery. A torrential rain hits the small town of Pelican, Louisana. After the waters finally recede, a stranger's dead body is found. It is up to Maggie Crozat to find out the identity of the stranger and solve a mystery that seems to get bigger and bigger the more she investigates. This was so much fun to read especially learning about Mardi Gras, Gumbo pageants, orphan trains, and much more. The characters and story are well fleshed out and the book is well worth a read for those who love cozy mysteries.

3/5 Stars
