Trouble in Mudbug

by Jana DeLeon

Maryse Robicheaux, a scientist in the quirky town of Mudbug, Louisiana, has a problem: her recently deceased, meddling mother-in-law, Helena, is now a ghost. And Helena is not about to let a little thing like death stop her from stirring up trouble or helping Maryse solve a murder. Enter DEA Agent Luc LeJeune, undercover and tasked with keeping an eye on Maryse, but quickly finding himself battling both a killer and an undeniable attraction to her. Reading this feels like a spirited visit to the bayou, full of laugh-out-loud moments and a surprisingly cozy mystery. It's a charming, fast-paced story perfect for anyone who loves a humorous mystery with a touch of the paranormal, a dash of romance, and a small-town setting where everyone knows everyone's business – even the dead ones.
