Viva Durant, teen detective, is back in New Orleans to crack her latest case! This audio original features original music from the creator, Ashli St. Armant, and an engaging performance from Audible Hall of Fame narrator Bahni Turpin.

Now that she’s returned to New Orleans for Thanksgiving break, Viva is charged with figuring out the truth behind a mysterious bout of illness traced back to a local creole restaurant called Madame Bouchard’s. Were customers poisoned on purpose, or was it a simple cooking mistake? And who could be behind the chaos? Viva only has a week to solve the culinary mystery, and to do so, she’ll have to contend with a longtime rivalry, rumors of voodoo magic, and Thanksgiving dinner with her extended family!

Listeners will love the continued detective adventures of Viva Durant and her stern-yet-spirited Gram!

This was a great second entry into the short, sweet mystery story. The characters are fun, and the puzzles have just enough to keep you interested. If love to see a TV or movie series made of this.

Great

I love Bahni Turpin’s voice and she is a perfect match for the setting of the story.

The mystery was excellent and the writing cadence kept the action and interest non-stop. This story has more plot and character development than a lot of adult target series.

I like the Grandma/Granddaughter relationship in the story. Grandma is a tough ol’ lady with a sharp mind!

Excellent Fun story for all ages

I really enjoyed this audiobook. I had previously listened to the first one, and as soon as I saw that there was a new one, I leaped at the chance to try it. The author does a really great job of leading the listener through the book, and there are a lot of twists and turns throughout the story. Another common thing that I find in Audiobooks is that the narrator is incredibly annoying, but this narrator is AMAZING! She does a really great job! You should totally read this!

Really Great Listen

Looking forward to more of these! I like how everything is progressing for our young emerging sleuth! Liked the musical interludes in this one.

Almost as good as the first

This Viva Durant Series is both funny and very intriguing! That’s very hard to find in a book and this series hits it perfectly! Also the narrator does a great job changing voices, the music in the background for it just makes it all the worthwhile. But the other thing is the mystery that the author wrote in the books the way that the mystery transitions into different chapters and different parts in the story makes it an incredible and fun story to listen to! I completely recommend this story to all who seek it and look forward to more!
