Thank you @booksforward for the #gifted copy! These thoughts are my own.
One of my favorite things is to read a book that is set where I am. South Louisiana is so distinct it really could be a trope of its own, but Southern Gothic fits perfectly. The bayous, steamy days and nights, and all the lore that surrounds it make for a perfect thriller and this one did not disappoint. A serial killer is not something new here, Derrick Todd Lee and all the bodies that show up on the I10 corridor along the Atchafalaya Basin, help Broken Bayou fit in as a realistic piece of fiction.
I enjoyed this one. The premise was intriguing and the flawed characters were interesting. I did figure out who the killer was but I was still invested. Check this one out!
