Normally, I am not a reader of mystery novels, but a friend recommended it, and some of the initial descriptions and language/writing so captivated me, I read through to the very devastating end. No spoilers here, just a recommendation to pick up the book. Not only will it provide an intriguing read, if not from Louisiana, will give you a glimpse into a different part of the country and our culture.
This is a Great read ...I couldn’t put it down. It had the all the right components of a good book .The end blew me away .I loved it. Don’t know if it’s a stand alone or if Morgan and Cj are going to come across more jambalaya!!
I have not read a murder mystery in many years. It’s clearly not a genre I am drawn to. This book, however, may have changed that. I truly appreciated the author’s ability to develop characters, particularly the heroine, and capture the reader’s interest. This is a page turner. I didn’t want to put it down, even when I was reading it on a tropical vacation with many outdoor activities to enjoy (snorkeling, swimming, etc). I highly recommend it.
I really enjoy the story couldn't put it down. I was so interested in what was going to happen next. a must read. I enjoyed the mystery and was so surprised by her mom.
