Voodoo murder

This is another fun easy cozy mystery by this author, full of food to make your mouth water, a well trained dog and a mystery to keep you guessing. This is part of a series that is well worth a listen and can be picked up and put down in any order. I liked the New Orleans theme throughout the book and It made It very different from the rest of the series and the author has obviously been there or done her homework in order to write this story. The mystery was interesting and I liked the different choice of suspects and motives, although I did think for someone to have come from New Orleans Nicole would have taken the threat from the Voodoo dolls more seriously and acted accordingly. Otherwise a good mystery.
When Judy comes to stay at her friend Liz's B&B and spar retreat she likes to balance out all the treatments with a session at the gym, where she meets Nicole. Nicole has recently moved to Red Cedar for the position of bank manager and consequently doesn't know anyone. This makes It all the harder to understand why she would keep finding voodoo dolls dressed up to look like her, wherever she goes. Judy worried about her new friend, she asks Liz to find out what she can about voodoo dolls on her up coming cooking trip to New Orleans and to accompany her to her house when she can't be reached. She can't be reached because someone has killed her and left another doll. The Sheriff is more worried about issuing enough traffic tickets than some doll and getting a pay rise over investigating a murder. So while Liz is visiting the big easy she can't help but do some investigating in to voodoo, hex's and dark magic, especially when Nicole's boyfriend starts to receive the same gifts. Can Liz find the killer? Or is she going to need some help and magic of her own to keep everybody safe?
I liked the narrator, she did sound a bit younger than I imagined Liz but her good performance soon had me forgetting that fact.
