Murder in the bayou boneyard
(Book)

Maggie Crozat, proprietor of a historic Cajun Country B&B, uses a Halloween-themed marketing scheme to draw visitors to Pelican, Louisiana. Five local plantation B&Bs will host "Pelican's Spooky Past" packages, featuring regional crafts, unique menus, and a pet costume parade. Topping it off, the derelict Dupois cemetery is the suitably sepulchral setting for the spine-chilling play Resurrection of a Spirit. When someone costumed as a rougarou-- a werewolf-- dies after stumbling onstage during the play, Maggie fears that Pelican's spooky past has nothing on its bloodcurdling present. -- adapted from jacket
