Swamp Sweets by Jana Deleon

Just Desserts?

It's November in Sinful and everyone is gearing up for Thanksgiving. But when Fortune, Ida Belle, and Gertie bag a body on their turkey hunting trip, the quiet enjoyment of fall is over. No one really knew Miles Broussard well, and as he'd recently sold the building his business was in to retire in another state, no one could explain how he'd ended up murdered and dumped in the bayou.

Ally Lemarque has been waiting her entire life to open her bakery, and that day finally arrived when she purchased the building from Miles. But when she visits the site late at night and interrupts an intruder, she comes away with a crack on her head and concerns about why someone would break into an empty building.

Fortune doesn't think for a minute that Miles's murder and the attack on Ally are unrelated. And Swamp Team 3 won't rest until they're sure Ally is safe.

Jana DeLeon, a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, grew up in southwest Louisiana, surrounded by bayous and gators. Carlyss is her hometown, although you won't locate it on a map. Her family had a camp on a bayou just off the coast of the Gulf of Mexico that could only be reached by boat. The rope hammock, which hung in the shade on a large terrace that stretched out over the sea and where Jana spent many hours reading novels, was the most significant element. Jana and her brother spent countless hours in a flat-bottom aluminum boat scouring the bayous, researching the natural habitat of various birds, nutria, and alligators.

She would like you to know that no animals were harmed in the course of these research, but they did keep peroxide manufacturers in business. Jana has never encountered a mystery or a ghost like her heroines, but she remains optimistic. She now lives in Dallas, Texas, with the world's most spoilt Sheltie.
