Bayou Judgment

Bayou #3

by Robin Caroll

"Christian Crisis Hotline. How may I help you?" For once, it was phone counselor Felicia Trahan who desperately needed to dial in. She'd come home to her apartment to find Jolie, her roommate and coworker, dead. And few clues to the killer's identity: There was a shady boyfriend. A rival at the crisis center. And disturbing phone calls from a distraught young woman who was becoming increasingly unhinged. So much so that the center's tough-guy pastor feared for Felicia's safety. Spencer Bertrand promised to protect her, even if he lost his heart in the process. Yet drawing out a killer hiding in the Louisiana bayou could be the only way to save them all.

[Barbara · Rating 3 out of 5]

The heroine of this book is enough reason to read it: Felicity Trahan, Christian crisis hotline operator, strong independent woman. And did I mention she has cerebral palsy, yet is doing intensive physical therapy in an attempt to learn to walk?

Winnie, a caller, leaves disturbing messages for Felicity and she worries that someone may get hurt. Her roommate, Jolie, is then murdered and Jolie's boyfriend is immediately suspected. With the aid of her overprotective brother, Luc and his fiancee, CoCo, Felicity must find out who killed Jolie. Along the way, she is wooed by her pastor, the reformed Spencer Bertrand.

It's nice to see Felicity not blame God for her handicap, and issues about dealing with one's past are explored through Spencer's character. Makes you wonder how the apostle Paul felt when visiting synagogues filled with people he used to persecute.

I am really enjoying this author. I love the south Louisiana setting, the incorporation of Cajun culture and language, and the fearlessness of her primary female characters. These are not your typical Christian romance novels. They have plenty of mystery and suspense. This one in particular had quite a bit of violence and a couple of well done action scenes. I'm looking forward to more from Robin Caroll!

[Elizabeth Plumb · Rating 5 out of 5]

A veritable page turner! It sucked me in and didn't let go until the end.

[Jess H · Rating 4 out of 5]

Had this figured out very early in the book😎, still enjoyed the read. On to the next!

[Cathy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Felicia was an annoying character to me. Too stubborn to the point of stupidity and I didn't like how she reacted to Spencer's confession. I also found the yes? At the end of every sentence repetitive and annoying. The killer I figure out well before everyone. BUT that said, I still really enjoyed this book and the writing was superb and seeing the characters from other books come back made me happy. I'll be sad to end this series!

When her room-mate is murdered, Felicia has to decide where to put her trust. Part of series but still good as a separate book. Christian writer.
