Book Description

From NY Times and USA Today bestselling author, Jana DeLeon, the second book in the Ghost-in-Law mystery/romance series:

Family can be the death of you…..

Sabine LaVeche needs to locate a blood relative fast – her life depends on it.

Then Helena Henry shows up offering to help, and Sabine knows she’s really in trouble when it’s the best idea she’s heard in a while. When private investigator Beau Villeneuve takes on Sabine’s case, things heat up in more ways than one, and Sabine struggles to balance thoughts of a life with Beau against her chances of living at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4 1/2 + stars...good mystery with a little romance November 8, 2009

Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

2nd in the Mudbug (Ghost-in-law) series.

Sabine LaVeche needs to find her biological family for medical reasons. When she hires Beau Villeneuve, she wasn't expecting him to be so downright H-O-T. He is concerned that she won't get the desired results in finding her family and finds himself trying to protect her--for more than just professional reasons.

When Sabines starts hearing Helena Henry, the deceased mother-in-law of her best friend, Maryse, she gets concerned that something really bad is about to happen to her--Helena only seems to appear to people in mortal danger.

I highly recommend reading the first book in the series, Trouble in Mudbug, before this one. Although this book is a stand alone, it will help with the finer details to read the other book.

I really enjoyed this one. The mystery was a good one...the clues are subtle and played out very well. Some things are a little obvious, but it works well in the story.

I'm looking forward to the next book where more about Helena's death is revealed (and solved, I believe).

4.0 out of 5 stars engaging sequel October 3, 2009

By Harriet Klausner #1 HALL OF FAME

Format:Mass Market Paperback

After Helena the ghost makes a disturbing appearance during a client's visit, Mudbug psychic Sabine LeVeche learns from Dr. Breaux that her biopsy test affirms she suffers from acute myeloid leukemia; a type that with treatment most people go into remission especially if the person receives a bone marrow transplant from a close relative.

However, Sabine has a minor problem with the bone marrow therapy; she needs a relative, but knows of none in spite of her efforts to find kin. Private investigator Beau Villeneuve, her BFF Maryse and Helena help the stunned twenty-eight years old woman. However, their efforts are sidetracked by someone trying to kill Sabine and her attraction to Beau who feels the same way about her.

This is an engaging sequel, but the TROUBLE IN MUDBUG is that several key support characters (especially Helena) cannot stand alone without having read the previous book. Still Sabine's search for blood relatives takes a serious health turn that makes for a serious story line while her mutually shared feelings with Beau adds a naked romantic element to the recipe. The suspense subplot adds tension, but also takes a back seat to the health crisis and the attraction as Jana DeLeon cooks an interesting spin in Mudbug.

I just LOVE Jana DeLeon!!! This is the 2nd in the series and i just love, love It.. I've laughed so much that when I'am reading it somewhere people look at me like I'am nuts, and that's when I tell them about this series. I got the 1st one free but I"m going to by the other's so that I can read them again!!!!!!!! The 3rd in the series was a 5 star also... I laughed so much at Helena that I dang near wet my pants!!! I'am sad that this is the last of the series and I'am about to start one of her other books and I hope that it's just as good as the "Mudbug" series..... Thank You Ms. DeLeon for the GREAT read....

Jana's books are like dark chocolate...hard to stop at just one. They are also fun to read with just a slight twist of bittersweet that makes you stop and think about your own life.

More About the Author

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jana DeLeon was raised in southwest Louisiana among the bayous and gators. Her hometown is Carlyss, but you probably won't find it on a map. Her family owned a camp located on a bayou just off the Gulf of Mexico that you could only get there by boat. The most important feature was the rope hammock hanging in the shade on a huge deck that stretched out over the water where Jana spent many hours reading books.

Jana and her brother spent thousands of hours combing the bayous in a flat-bottom aluminum boat, studying the natural habitat of many birds, nutria and alligators. She would like you to know that no animals were injured during these "studies," but they kept makers of peroxide in business.

Jana has never stumbled across a mystery or a ghost like her heroines, but she's still hopeful.

She now resides in Dallas, Texas, with the most spoiled Sheltie in the world.
