Summary: could not hold my interest
Comment: Generally, I quite like Cameron's books--this is the first that failed to grab my attention and hold it--but it did fail. I found the conversations stilted and the rate of action both slow and uneven. Not her usual, for sure. The 2 main characters should have been interesting, but struck me more as "along for the ride" rather than being the ride. I give Cameron credit for some interesting side characters (Fr. Cyrus and "Wazoo") but secondary characters do not make or break a novel.

Summary: Awesome book
Comment: David Patin died in a mysterious fire that destroyed his popular New Orleans restaurant mere weeks after inheriting Rosebank from his brother, Guy. Rosebank had once been a magnificent plantation on the banks of Bayou Teche. Guy had decorated Rosebank with hundreds of monkeys and pineapples.
When David's wife, Charlotte, and daughter, Vivian, learned that the family finances were poor, they decided to make Rosebank prosper. With Vivian's degree in hotel management and charlotte's restaurant expertise, they would slowly turn Rosebank into a resort hotel.
Their dream began to crumble when the family lawyer was murdered on Rosebank's grounds. He had been coming with big news for Charlotte and Vivian only to be killed within walking distance of the estate. The envelope containing the wonderful news had vanished, leaving the Patins clueless as to what it had contained.
Unsatisfied with the laughable investigation by the local police (Errol Bonine), Vivian turned to Spike Devol, the deputy sheriff of a nearby town. Not only was Spike known to be smart and wily, not to mention sexy, but he had also been present when Vivian stumbled upon the first body (her lawyer). Spike and Errol are totally different and tempers toward each other run hot. However, Spike's growing attraction to Vivian will not let him back off from investigating on his own.
***** Author Stella Cameron has written another winner, in my opinion. The lush background of Louisiana accents the scenes, lending a beautiful but chilling tone to the story. A variety of characters abound in this tale of greed, murder, and romance. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Highly recommended reading here! *****

Summary: KISS THEM GOODBYE
Comment: KISS THEM GOODBYE is the much anticipated sequel to COLD DAY IN JULY and it was well worth waiting for. Vivian Patin, along with her mother Charlotte have moved into the house they inherited from her late uncle Guy. They want to convert the house into a hotel, being short on cash has the renovations going slowly. They hope that this will soon change when they get a phone call from their attorney Louis Martin who says he has some news for them.
Unfortunately there is someone else who is anxious to get their hands on Rosebank and will do anything to get it, including murder.
Vivian also finds her self drawn to Spike Devol, the sexy sheriff in Touissiant and his little girl Wendy.
KISS THEM GOODBYE gave me the chance to revisit Touissaint, Louisiana and my favorite priest Father Cyrus as well as the other members of the town, including Jill and Joe Gable and you also get to catch up with Marc and Reb Girard from COLD DAY IN JULY.
Do yourself a favor and get KISS THEM GOODBYE, you will be happy that you did.
