     Part 1: Ghosts in the Graveyard Nothing says New Orleans like a funeral parade. With the jazz and zydeco playing, Francesca Theriot, her family and friends celebrate the life of their recently deceased grandmother. But when the parade gets to the cemetery, they discover that someone has broken into the Theriot family mausoleum. The only thing gone is the gold cat idol that has always watched over the Theriot family’s dead. Newly promoted Sergeant Louis Adams agrees to help Frankie Theriot find out what happened to the missing gold idol. He’s pretty sure the entire thing is a hoax, but Frankie isn’t the kind of woman you refuse. As the two of them investigate the grave robbery, it becomes apparent that there is something truly strange about the Theriot family. They have a really weird affinity for cats. It does not take Louis long to realize that Frankie has more secrets than he could have possibly imagined. Part 2: Blue Moon Bayou When a young woman shows up on the doorstep of the Theriot’s big rambling house in New Orleans’ Garden District, Remy Theriot is ready to send her packing. His family has had enough drama lately and being suspicious of a stranger is in Remy’s nature anyway. But Olivia Jones has a fantastic story to tell. Olivia needs help. Her own family is being pushed off their land by the Bordelons. Theriots and Bordelons don’t get along. So, while Remy doesn’t trust Olivia, the enemy of your enemy is your friend.

Nick Bordelon has obviously come to the square for a reason, but Sasha has a feeling that even the big man from the bayou isn’t entirely sure what that reason is. Part 4: Love and Bread Pudding Sophie Theriot is tired of running the Theriot School of Cooking without any Theriots to help out with the hard work. This nonsense with the Bordelons and the Theriots’ own financial disasters have chased everyone away.

Soon enough Sophie and Xander are entering their recipes into a local radio show’s holiday cooking contest. But Sophie is starting to realize that there’s something a little off about her new employee and she’s not exactly sure what it is.
