Excerpt
Danni headed down the hallway and into the store. Moving a few props, she reached the store side of her left facing display window. The mannequin wasn’t heavy, just a little awkward. She picked it up first and set it down, staring at the creation. It was damned good. She’d bought it from a friend in Louisiana’s booming film business. The eyes almost seemed to follow her. She wagged a finger at the mannequin. “Sick murderer, playing on legend. How could you kill that beautiful young woman who never hurt a soul? Or kill anyone. Look at the legacy you’ve left.” Crawling back into the window, she hurriedly gathered the rest of the items that had made up the display, tossing them into the shop. Then she looked around, trying to decide what she was going to put up in place of the display on Count D’Oro and the rougarou. Billie came into the shop. “Egyptian,” she announced. “We have that mannequin of Cleopatra. We can add a lot of the local jewelry. There’s a really beautiful ankh and then, to the side, we can add in a display of those fleur-de-lis pendants. Not Egyptian per se, but for now it will do.” “Aye, lass, got it. I’ll need Bo Ray to help.” He turned and left her, heading back down the hallway. The mannequin of Count D’Oro suddenly fell over. The cane rolled across the floor and landed at Danni’s feet, the silver wolf’s head seeming to stare up at her. For a moment, she froze. The way the mannequin had landed, it seemed to be staring at her too. She trembled despite herself, then walked over and glared down at the mannequin, kicking the cane to the side. “We will end this,” she said with determination. And it almost seemed like the mannequin disagreed. Challenging her to do so.
DayReader Amy M's Review
I have not read anything from Heather Graham until this book, Blood on the Bayou. I have to say after just reading the prologue I was put on alert since I read when my husband is at work and the entire apartment is too quiet. Following Quinn and Cafferty through this amazingly told detective story to find out what or whom and how blood got on the bayou was incredibly thrilling for me. To say I was put on alert after chapter one is an understatement now, I was now frightened. I pictured this enormously tall creature walking around trying to find young woman to beat and kill just because it could. Throughout this book I had so many theories on who or what this thing was that was killing people at the swamp in Louisiana but to say I was shocked at how this one ended doesn’t come close to how I was feeling. At times I had to stop reading this book because of the eerie feeling I got sitting at home alone in the quiet, I read every chance I got during the day. Everyone has seen a scary movie but it becomes a completely different feeling when you read a scary book. I was extremely nervous and a little anxious reading this book but it was completely worth the read. Do not miss out on this 5 star shocking mystery-thriller by Heather Graham.
About BLOOD ON THE BAYOU: A Cafferty & Quinn Novella From New York Times bestseller Heather Graham... It's winter and a chill has settled over New Orleans, binding a stream of blood that leads a tourist to a dead man, face down in the bayou. The man has been done in by a vicious beating, so violent that his skull has been crashed in. It's barely a day before a second victim is found . . . once again so badly thrashed that the water runs red. The city becomes riddled with fear. An old family friend comes to Danni Cafferty, telling her that he's terrified, he's certain that he's received a message from the Blood Bayou killer--It's your turn to pay, blood on the bayou. The two quickly become involved, and--as they all begin to realize that a gruesome local history is being repeated--they find themselves in a fight to save not just a friend, but, perhaps, their very own lives.
