The Vanishing Bloodstain: The search for a murderer before it can kill again.

A Margo Fontaine Mystery Welcome to Lafayette, Louisiana. The azaleas are blooming, the weather is mild, and murder is plentiful. A loving family congregates in a stately old plantation home to celebrate the 80th birthday of matriarch Carolyn Bingham-Breaux. Soon it becomes obvious that there is an undercurrent of greed and resentment that has brought friends and family together, because Carolyn Bingham-Breaux is a very wealthy woman, and without natural heirs, it’s only expected that her estate will be distributed among the loved ones present.

When Father Armand-guest at the celebration-sees all the tension and the bickering among the guests, he realizes that someone might want to off his old friend the birthday girl, all in the name of earthly rewards. Hoping that there’s still time to save her, he enlists the help of private investigator Margo Fontaine, who soon arrives in town together with her clever cats, Ice and Fenway, to find out whodunit, and why. Before the candles have been blown out on the birthday cake, everyone will discover that you’re never too old to die!

Follow Margo Fontaine and her cats in her Murder Mystery Series in the land of swamps, alligators, haunted hotels, and plantation homes, where well-kept secrets, and the stories of old Southern families, will conspire to keep you reading into the night.
