Description

Scientist Maryse Robicheaux thought that a lot of her problems had gone away with her mother-in-law’s death. The woman was rude, pushy, manipulative and used her considerable wealth to run herd over the entire town of Mudbug, Louisiana. 

Unfortunately, death doesn’t slow down Helena one bit.

DEA Agent Luc LeJeune is wondering what his undercover assignment investigating the sexy scientist has gotten him into – especially as it seems someone wants her dead. Keeping his secrets while protecting Maryse proves to be easier than fighting his attraction for the brainy beauty. 

(Note: This book is part of the author’s backlist, originally released in print in 2009 by Dorchester Publishing)

    I didn’t think I would really like this but found out that I really enjoyed the read. Towards the end I really wanted to give Helena a big hug. Somebody should have. 5 30 2025 Camie12

    There’s nothing better than reading a murder mystery in a familiar southern tone. The humor and charm with the brazen gumption that comes from growing up strong, these characters are delightfully drawn. Bravo. Looking forward to reading the entire series.
  • Great 1st book in the Mudbug series.

    This story is very well written, with engaging characters and a fast pace. I live in a desert, and love it, so I was surprised to find I could easily feel the protagonist’s love for the bayou; the fetid, mosquito and alligator infested swamp I can never love. It takes an accomplished writer to evoke those feelings so now I’m going to find and read every story I can by Jana DeLeon.

    Excellent reading, well thought out and expertly presented. Very entertaining, thank you. I think it is stupid that they expect people to write reviews in a pre-determended amount.

    Humorous and exciting at the same time, a novelty for today’s books. Great characters and a nice plot. Only drawback was the continuing lie about chemical and oil companies portrayed in a bad light. I can refute the lies 10 times to Sunday if anyone will make the charges in public. Idiot authors should know better than get on a wagon with only three wheels.
