As Nella entered her cousin's house on the Louisiana bayou she knew something was wrong. With 5 children in the house under the age of 8 there should be noises of some kind but the house was in total silence. Something drew her attention to the cramped room beneath the stairs. The door was colsed, but she'd heard a sound...a whisper. Inside the door crouched one of the little girls holding a doll, but then the doll moved. It was a newborn baby and both the baby and the little girl were covered in blood! 30 years later, Detective Evangeline Theroux is involved in investigating an unusual death of a prominent lawyer found in a deserted storm damaged home in New Orleans. The body is covered in snake bites. Both cases come together in a gripping novel that is a true page turner.

New Orleans homicide detective Evangeline Theroux is a recent widow with a new baby. She throws herself into the crime of a mother who brutally murdered her male children in an insane effort to root out an "evil" gene. But the mother's daughters survived and grew to adulthood, but one is carrying on her mother's grisly work. Very good read. Absorbing, a page turner.

Detective Evangeline Theroux and her partner Mitchell Hebert have snagged a bizarre murder. A prominent lawyer is found dead in an abandoned building on the wrong side of town bitten to death by snakebite. There is absolutely no chance that it is accidental. Strange incidents begin happening to Evangeline which somehow are connected to this crime scene. This book is full of religious zealots, psychopaths, psychiatric patients, cops and FBI agents. The constantly twisting plot and escalating suspense are riveting. It kept me turning pages faster and faster trying to solve the mystery. Though the biggest mystery of all turned out to be how Evangeline was connected to the murderer.

I enjoyed this book. It was a quick read, the story was interesting and it was set in New Orleans. Many of us parents can relate to the way Evangeline is feeling. Her partner Mitchell is just the kind of person I want watching my back.
