Alligators and Arson (en Inglés) - Jann Franklin

A Cozy Crossover with Southern Sass, Canine Chaos, and a Case That's Hot Off the Grill

The Graisseville food pantry burns to the ground and everyone is heartbroken-but when a body is discovered in the ashes, the mood shifts. Is there a killer loose in their small town?

For Evangeline Delafose, it's more than just a tragedy. It's personal. And just as the investigation begins to heat up, in rolls Ro Bergeron-the cousin Ev has never met, armed with three dogs, a sharp wit, and mad sleuthing skills of her own.

Ro's visit was supposed to be a simple family introduction, but the mystery pulls her in fast. As the cousins navigate their unexpected bond, they uncover more than soot and secrets. Zydeco's disdain for Ro's canine crew, the town swirling with gossip, and a rogue alligator dropping in from the swamp add to the mix as Ev and Ro work together to solve a case that's anything but neighborly.

In this twisty, heartwarming installment, the only thing more combustible than the crime scene... is the family reunion.
