This novel by Anne Logan (aka Barbara Colley) is definitely more a THRILLER MYSTERY than a contemporary romance, even down to a bad cop in New Orleans Police Department. The 1947 song "Old Devil Moon" is source of book's title, and love of music as a career plays a role in the book's storyline. The "trivia term" added to my repertoire of knowledge from this book was 'Greek revival home'. One of the bad guys lived in a small Greek revival, not characteristic for St. Charles Avenue in New Orleans. So the house would have had markings such as columns, a portico, and gabled roof.

This was pretty bad. Written in 1996 it hasn’t stood the test of time in its attitudes or writing. Think of it as a 90’s B Movie.
I like a lot of the oldies but not this one. Thin plot, one dimensional characters, no chemistry between the mains and seriously THE most clueless cop ever!

I enjoyed this story line and characters for a small book. She would do anything to prove her brothers innocence.
