In At The Kill

by S.K. McClafferty

Los Angeles attorney Lily Martin is a woman running from dangerous memories, secrets too deep and dark to reveal. But a call in the night changes everything, sending Lily back to her roots in the bay outs of Louisiana, and to the three men who changed her life - one of whom is now dead...Michel Dugas, parish priest, beloved community leader, and Lily's closest friend, has been brutally murdered by a killer with a grim message. On a desperate search for answers, Lily is forced to confront her past that includes her ex-husband, town sheriff Hugh Lothair - and dangerously sexy Cajun Gitan Boudreaux, the fearless bad boy who'd done hard time for a crime he didn't commit. Now, the demons and desires Gitan and Lily have run from for so long are demanding their due - and one way or another, someone will have to pay...

[Margaret Watkins · Rating 4 out of 5]

A highly suspenseful book, this story is pretty gruesome and dark but does come to a successful conclusion. I found it slow moving in parts, however, it would seem to fit the culture and background in which the novel is set. I personally found the story difficult to read and kept putting it down to go and do household chores when I hit the more tragic parts, a sure sign of the extent of the tension I was feeling. Certainly, this book is not for the faint of heart. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily post this review. This is my honest review.

[Dianne · Rating 1 out of 5]

Thinly written mystery in the “puzzle with modest romance” genre. We do not become very involved with the characters, and the plot is not particularly engaging. Better than emphasis on blood and gore, but the sort of work one forgets as soon as the book is set down.
