Wined and Died in New Orleans

Praise for Bayou Book Thief:
“Rickie James-Diaz and her quintessential New Orleans friends are bound to captivate readers as they wander their way through mayhem and murder! Don't miss this first in a new series!”
– Terrie Farley Moran, Agatha Award-winning author of the Read 'Em and Eat Mysteries
 
“Byron’s love of New Orleans, its people, its history, its culture, its food, shines in every page in this charming book. California transplant, the delightful Ricky heads a cast of exceptional supporting characters, all as quirky as the city in which they’re lucky enough to live.   Bayou Book Thief is the start of what I am sure will soon become one of my favourite series and I can’t wait for my next visit.”
– Vicki Delany, National Bestselling author
 
"With a compelling New Orleans setting that makes me want to move from Los Angeles to Louisiana, just like fearless Ricki, Bayou Book Thief is an unguessable culinary mystery that will steal any book lover’s heart."
– Jennifer J. Chow, Lefty Award-Nominated author of the Sassy Cat Mysteries
 
“Ellen Byron is taking us on a trip to the Big Easy with her new Vintage Cookbook Mystery series. Not only do we get to experience delicious cuisine, a rich variety of characters, and a pair of naughty peacocks, THE BAYOU BOOK THIEF offers layers of mysteries that kept me guessing until the very end. Bravo!”
– Dorothy St. James, author of A Perfect Bind
 
“Ellen Byron's latest debut cozy is as delightful as the vintage cookbooks she features. Whet your appetite for murder with Bayou Book Thief!"
– Diane Vallere, national bestselling author of the Costume Shop Mysteries
