Scientist Maryse Robicheaux thought that a lot of her problems had gone away with her mother-in-law’s death. The woman was rude, pushy, manipulative and used her considerable wealth to run herd over the entire town of Mudbug, Louisiana. 

Unfortunately, death doesn’t slow down Helena one bit.

DEA Agent Luc LeJeune is wondering what his undercover assignment investigating the sexy scientist has gotten him into – especially as it seems someone wants her dead. Keeping his secrets while protecting Maryse proves to be easier than fighting his attraction for the brainy beauty.

Louisiana gal. I loved this book from beginning to end!!!

Love this book. I read this book about 7 times.. I love the plot and the story line!! And the sex was not distasteful..

Just okay. I bought this short novel in the Romance section of iBooks but it is quite obvious that it is more of a comedy-mystery. Not much romance and the author is a bit too verbose for my liking. I felt caught up in a jumble of words and long-winded dialogues between characters. I often lost interest. Won't be continuing this series but I will say that the plot is unique with some good humor.

Trouble in Mudbug. I loved it with fun quirky characters and twisting plot I’ll be reading more from this Imaginative author

KWJN

Excellent. I loved the story line in this book. The characters could have been real. A lot of mystery covered up by a good story, a little humor and a little love. Excellent! I'll have to find more.

Liz 2006

Wasn't expecting much... I really enjoyed this book. And for the price of free, it's all the more awesome. There's mystery, romance and sarcasm, everything I like in a book. However, I didn't know this was a to be continued book... Loose ends, I don't like. Still entertaining and worth every penny.

Shor-tay

Trouble in Mudbug. A little too silly for my taste.

Angel of Mauve Hollow

Loved this!. It definitely turned out right in the end!

Ranelle D

The Travis Club. Great book! Full of suspense & surprises. Can't wait for the next one!

ExPalmNewton

Great minus the sex. Loved the story, didn’t want the fairly intense sex scene. Remember that with family sharing, every book you buy is available to every family member. Had to go in and remove this one from the purchases.

Proper grammarian

Trouble inMudbug. Lots of intelligence and humor behind this cute, down-home-town type action/mystery with kitchey characters caught up in some rather unusual circumstances. Keeps you guessing almost to the last couple of chapters. Would have been a better read if not for so many errors, such as extra and/or missing words. Hasn't anyone proofread the novel?

Jewelrydiva

Super Fun Read!. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

Jamieelizabeth77

Well rounded humor and mystery!. On recommendation from author Denise Grover Swank after her cowriting efforts with Jana DeLeon on their Christmas novella, I downloaded Trouble in Mudbug. It was truly a joy to read this book! I just finished listening to Trouble in Mudbug on audio, and it is an absolutely fantastic book! The humor is intermixed so well with the mystery and overall story. You can't help but fall in love with Helena while rooting for Luke and Maryse to come together in love as well as conquering the danger in Mudbug!

SpeedOfHuman

Too bad it's so homophobic. This was a fairly well-written book up until the point at which several homophobic remarks were made by characters within a few pages. Even if it's set in the South, we've still entered the 21st century, where these kinds of remarks are unwelcome and seen for the bigoted nonsense they are-unnecessary to move the plot along or develop characters.

Playing to relax

I can recommend this book.. I would skip the sex and yearning parts of the book but the mystery was good. The people were interesting and the writing was very good. I ordinarily avoid romances but this was free. It turned out to be much better than I expected and worth reading.

Eriknoel

More folks should read this book.. This story is very well written, with engaging characters and a fast pace. I live in a desert, and love it, so I was surprised to find I could easily feel the protagonist’s love for the bayou; the fetid, mosquito and alligator infested swamp I can never love. It takes an accomplished writer to evoke those feelings so now I’m going to find and read every story I can by Jana DeLeon.

Lweast

Loved it!!. From page one to the end, it was an enjoyable read!

JazzyBgirl

Azviolets

Trouble in Mudbug, and the whole Mudbug series. I loved the first book so much that, one by one, I bought the whole series! Then I re-read it all! Fun characters, fun plot, just fun! Thank you, Jana! I will watch for your books! Betty in Arizona

Shell@50bestshape

Trouble in Mudbug. What a great read everything a book should be mystery suspense and laugh out loud funny. Truly a pleasure to read can not wait to read the next one

Rush61

Mudbug lol killer name. Love this author's books. I've read several and always have a lot of laughs with them. Maybe I just get her humor better than some because I'm southern but she cracks me up! I could do with quite a bit less detail in some of the ...uh...steamy parts shall we say 😳 (these are definitely not for under the age of 18) but overall a fun read.

Dj_McKing

Great read. I enjoyed it fully.

IDpuzzler

Entertaining Story. Great assortment of quirky characters, unique storyline, and Louisiana flavor.

Legs48

Trouble in Mudbug. Thoroughly enjoyed this fun and quirky mystery! Can't wait to read the rest of the Ghost In Law series

C Lutz

Mudbug. Excellent reading, well thought out and expertly presented. Very entertaining, thank you. I think it is stupid that they expect people to write reviews in a pre-determended amount.

Cskings

Trouble in Mudbug. A little mystery, a little romance, and a few funny antics made this a perfect blend for reading enjoyment.

Bellestales

Trouble in Mudbug. Fast moving, page turning, fun!

AmberJo1234

lol moments. This is a fun and lighthearted, but also deep at times, mystery. There were moments when I actually laughed out loud(not so good when I'm at work! Ha). Hope you enjoy as much as I did!

Lanie62017

Trouble in Mudbug. Love this book! Suspenseful and funny! Can't wait to read another one by Jana DeLeon!

Osmalo

Trouble inMudbug. Great reading. One of the better mysteries I read over the past few years. Couldn't stop reading it until the end.

Lady Vols, NCAA Champions

Good read. Humorous and exciting at the same time, a novelty for today’s books. Great characters and a nice plot. Only drawback was the continuing lie about chemical and oil companies portrayed in a bad light. I can refute the lies 10 times to Sunday if anyone will make the charges in public. Idiot authors should know better than get on a wagon with only three wheels.

Tbirdtenn

Fantastic!. I absolutely loved this book. As a matter of fact as I read more and more I couldn't help but think what a great movie this story would make. I could just picture Helena in her pink polyester!! Can't wait to read the next book in the series!!!

Otitus

Fun and well written. Good plot. Good character development. Good dialogue. Reads smoothly and well paced.

Trouble in Mughog. Funny, fast moving, witty and impossible to put down!

Perkier

Trouble in Mudbug. An easy read with some nice plot twists; my favourite character was the ghost, which also added more humour.

Wine please

Girl power!. What fun. The "girls" come together to sort out the world of Mudbug. Anyone who has lived in a small town will laugh at many of situations that happen. Never underestimate the smarts of a gun toting grey hair. I ended up reading all this series!

BeeK113

Well worth reading. For a free book, even if I had to pay for it, this was a great read with some genuinely funny moments and a well written story

W130938

What a great book. I loved this book. I was a bit unsure about the whole ghost bit when I started, but it really works. The book contains drama, humour, murder, romance and is a most enjoyable read. I will definitely be reading more from this author. She really knows how to write a good book.

Dolly Nicks

Awesome Book. It's such a fun book to read. I was looking for something to read a found this. I' glad I did.

AniApplestuff

Loved the book. Casual story... Combination of suspense and humour ....shld definitely download a copy and read ....

TheOtherJulie

Good fun. This was a freebie, but it was an amazing read. The characters are well written and engaging, and you probably won't figure out who the bad guy is until the characters do. Have now bought the box set so I can read the next two books.

Talyrikma

Trouble in Mudbug. Loved it lots of suspense and a lot of laughs. Thank you

Janie2613

JennaGray

Trouble in mud bug. A fabulous if slightly credible story . Romance. Friendship and a mystery all wrapped up in one . Read because I love the sinful series . And this has the same laugh out loud humour too . Will definitely have to read this whilst I’m waiting for more of the Sinful crowd . A definite must .

Yilluppony

Great for a freebie. A great light read. A nice touch of humour and an original story. Definitely worth downloading...

Excellent. A very good read. Had me searching out more books by this author. Memo for my will - Please! I don't want to be buried in a hated outfit!

Erin1110

Great !. A good bit of humour, with some romance and unusual twist thrown in, easily read.

SophieJosie

Great read!. Unexpected plot, even after reading the blurb. The story line kept me hooked although I did find my attention straying sometimes and the characters weren't described enough for me to get a visual in my head. Helena is a fantastic character, she made me laugh out loud many times. A good read but not one of the best, the few issues I have with the book contribute to the reason I gave it 4 stars. But heck, for a free read it isn't half bad, so go for it!

Umeammarah

Trouble in mud bug. Good book, made me laugh out Loud a few times, kept me reading on!

Pirates Golfer

Great book. It makes a change to read a book that wants you to keep reading it. One of the very few that got me to purchase the rest of the series. Well done.

Awesome. Excellent plot. Well written.

Fluffynbtchy

Loved it!. Loved this book, I couldn't put it down. Looking forward to reading the next in the series.

Apt342

Trouble In Mudblood. Enjoyable little read. The characters are quirky and you're held in suspense every step of the way. As with typical romance novels, people always fight their feelings for each other which isn't at all what people do in real life but that's part of the journey, isn't it?

Morgan Stringer

Definitely a good quick read. The book was cute and kept you guessing.

GFL32601

Well Worth a Read. Cute, funny, intriguing, heartfelt, romantic. All in all, a great book. I love to figure out mysteries and I thought this was gonna be a predictable "mystery" romantic comedy, but it had me guessing till the end. Loved how it explored all of the relationships between all of the characters. I laughed out loud, I got a little emotional, and overall was hooked. Best part is the very end, it reminds you, you have to read the whole series!!

K J Morris

Trouble in Mudbug. Made me laugh so hard I cried on more than one occasion. Well written & definitely worth sitting down with, I enjoyed every page-

Asfrj12356

Loved it!. I loved this book! The characters were amazing, Helena was hilarious. I was enthralled from the beginning of the book until the end of the book. I would've definitely paid for this book

TMMBA

Trouble in Mudbug. This is an enjoyable, easy read! It kept my interest right to the end. I look forward to reading more Mudbug books.

Green4evamore

Great book. Loved the story. Only problem was with the X-ray of the head. I've never seen one done. I've seen cat scans but never an x-ray.
