KATHERINE W. (wylchild) reviewed on 3/31/2006 + 115 more book reviews

Vivian Patin has become the target of a killer just a few weeks after inheriting a huge estate in Bayou Teche, LA. Unfortunately, the local law enforcement is not only inept, but also unwilling to put much time and effort into finding the killer because the lead detective HATES Deputy Sheriff Spike Devol from the next parish, who happens to be very good friends with Vivian.

So Vivian and her mother "hire" Spike to do a bit of sleuthing outside of his regular Sheriff duties since he's also a licensed private investigator. Spike is reluctant at first because his friendship with Vivian quickly turns into a blazing attraction that neither can resist.

I liked the premise behind this story. It had a good plot. However, I thought it had too many characters for the reader to keep up with. By the time the identity of the killer was revealed, I had to flip back through the book to remember who the guy was and what his relationship was to the rest of the characters.
