The Crozats quickly establish alibis, but Maggie's boyfriend, Detective Bo Durand, remains under suspicion. With Bo sidelined during the investigation, Maggie finds herself forced to work with an unlikely ally: longtime family enemy Rufus Durand. Her sleuthing uncovers more suspects than drummers drumming, and lands her in the crosshairs of the murderer.
The sleigh bells are jingling, and the clock is ticking for Maggie and Rufus, who must catch the killer, or it will be the opposite of a Joyeux Noël.

Starred review from August 7, 2017
Byron’s superb third Cajun Country mystery featuring artist Maggie Crozat (after 2016’s Body on the Bayou) finds Maggie’s father, Tug, under a lot of stress because the family business, Preferred Property Collection, is under threat. Maggie learns from Uncle Tig, Tug’s twin brother, who buys historic properties and turns them into boutique hotels, that unscrupulous hedge fund manager Steve Harmon—a guest at the Crozat Plantation B and B—plans to take over PPC. Later, while giving a tour at Doucet Plantation, her maternal family’s ancestral home, Maggie discovers Harmon dead in a wing chair. In addition to various members of the Crozat family, Maggie’s main man, Det. Bo Durand of the Pelican, La., PD, becomes a suspect in Harmon’s murder. With Christmas and the arrival of the Cajun Santa, Papa Noel, just ahead, Maggie has to work fast to solve the crime. Stir in Bo’s ex-wife and Maggie’s former fiancé, and there’s no end to the mischief and mayhem in this exceptional cozy. Agent: Doug Grad, Doug Grad Literary Agency.
