New Orleans is famous for its pralines, beignets, jazz, Bourbon Street, and the French Quarter. But there's a darker side to the Big Easy, one that involves voodoo and gris-gris. Nicole Rogers recently moved to Red Cedar from New Orleans. She'd lost weight, became engaged, and had a new job as the manager of a local bank in the small town. But when she found voodoo dolls in her gym locker, work desk, and on her front porch, she was scared. She knew what receiving the dolls meant - someone wanted to hurt her or kill her, and she was right. A few days later, Nicole's body was found on her front porch with a voodoo doll next to it. She'd been murdered. What is the connection between Nicole's murder and the voodoo dolls? Liz Lucas, an amateur sleuth, is determined to find the connection and catch the killer. While on a trip to New Orleans to attend a cooking school known for its Cajun-Creole style of cooking, she learns a lot from a gris-gris doctor who specializes in voodoo, hexes, spells, and superstitions. But who would want to kill Nicole? Was it the bank employee Nicole fired? What about Nicole's sister, who had legally changed her name to Marie Leveau (the Queen of Voodoo in New Orleans)? Or Candace Norgan, the woman her fianc dropped when he fell in love with Nicole? Or even Maddie, Nicole's friend and the Assistant Manager at the bank? Join Liz and her dog Winston as they search for the killer. As always, plenty of mouth-watering recipes
