Sashé Boudreaux: Entanglements, Espionage, and Étouffée

Winner of the Eric Hoffer Award for Best Commercial Fiction and the First Horizon Award for debut novel, the Sashé Boudreaux Mysteries return with a tale of espionage, secrets, and Southern grit.Sashé Boudreaux knows everybody in Cypress Grove and just about everything worth knowing. Or at least she thought she did... until the annual chainsaw carving competition. The most dangerous thing about that hot Louisiana day should have been splinters, sawdust, and maybe one too many deep-fried elephant ears. But when she falls head over heels into the arms of a stranger, she lands squarely in the crosshairs of something far more dangerous.Before she can catch her breath, two men in the crowd make their move, and suddenly a twisted ankle is the least of her problems. What begins as a close call quickly spirals into something far bigger than Cypress Grove, reaching beyond the bayou into a global web ofdeception.With foreign operatives closing in and a hurricane barreling toward the coast, Sashé-former beauty queen, color consultant, and meals-on-wheels gal-isn't about to abandon her shut-ins or back down from a fight. Even if all she's got are her good instincts, a can of bear spray, and a bottle of Crystal hot sauce.Blending Southern charm, Cajun culture, suspense, humor, history, and international intrigue, Sashé Boudreaux: Entanglements, Espionage & Étouffée continues the adventures of one of Louisiana's most memorable amateur sleuths. Perfect for readers who enjoy small-town mysteries, strong female protagonists, colorful characters, and stories where danger lurks beneath the surface of everyday life.
