Broken Bayou

Good read. Interesting in parts!
Disappointing (or at least an abrupt) end!

This book was brilliant! I don't know what I was expecting but it sure wasn't a wild ride! The plot was totally unhinged and you never quite know who did what, when they did it or if they even did do it.

Willa has to return to the home of her aunts die and there is evidence in their attic that needs to be collected to protect her mother. Her mother has severe mental health issues and the only time Willa and her sister had a semi normal life was summer when they were at the aunts house.

Will is a now a child psychologist and after a disasterous interview on tv, she is eager to get out of the lime light. Problem is she returning to a place with a serial killer who puts women in barrels and they find something in the lake that Willa hoped would never come back out. The more she dogs, the more danger she is in and she does not know who to trust.

It was such a thrilling book! The narration was epic and I was on the edge of my seat!!

4.5 stars!! AMAZING BOOK

This isn't bad for a debut. Really more of a 3.5. Broken Bayou was easy to get lost in, and I really enjoyed the narrator which made this a pretty quick listen.

I will say that for me, I didn't like the main character all that much. For who she was professionally and who she was personally...I suppose I expected different behaviors but not THAT different. It didn't vibe for me. I also knew where this was going and who the killer would be. Despite all that, the story wasn't bad and I did enjoy how it played out. I would definitely pick up another book by this author.

Overall, I enjoyed the audiobook in it's entirety and would recommend this for fans of the genre. Thank you to Books Forward for the review copy. All opinions are my own.
