Murder mystery, romance, women's rights, friendships, scandal, fate, revenge, and more. Overall a great heartwarming story set in 1920s small town of Bayou Rosa, Louisiana.

Engrossing read. The characters were complex and compelling, the plot energetic and twisty, the setting easy to imagine. After reading the book, every character’s decision made sense and and the ending both surprised and satisfied. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good mysterious yarn.

Ramona DeFelice Long hits it out of the park with this historical southern gothic set immediately post-WWI in Louisiana bayou country. Her ability to bring the setting - people, place, food, language - to life is exceptional. I could smell the swamp and taste the gumbo, and feel for the cares of each of the characters I met as the story unfolded. In part page-turner, and in part an immersion into a way of life and being, this novel was the best kind of reading experience for me - it took me away from myself into a different world. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
