Mele Kalikimaka from LouLou, Louisiana! Christmas in small-town Louisiana looks a little different. There’s no chance of snow, and Santa’s sleigh is pulled not by reindeer but by alligators instead. In LouLou, the quaint town square is adorned with its holiday finery. The stores are stocked with gifts of Christmas cheer, but something is spoiling everyone’s eggnog. This is supposed to be a time of comfort and joy, but a mysterious thief is robbing the townspeople blind. And to make matters worse, the police station phone is ringing off the hook with calls claiming that the thief isn’t exactly human…Could a rougarou, a legendary Cajun swamp monster, really be behind these robberies? Down at the Cajun Coconut, tiki bar owner Sunny Beach is hoping for the perfect holiday. She’s decked out the bar in enough string lights to blow several fuses, selected her Christmas music playlist with care, and is ready to throw one swinging Holiday Hukilau party for everyone in town. There are going to be tasty tropical drinks, Hawaiian shirts worn with Santa hats, and…a dead body? Between solving a murder, catching a swamp monster, dealing with her moody teenage son, and coping with hot flashes, is Sunny’s perfect holiday still within reach? For readers who want Midsomer Murders meets the Enchanted Tiki Room!
