This book has been sitting on Mt. TBR for about a year, because while Dead on the Delta was a great read I Could Not Invest In Anabelle. She irritated me on almost every level; a self absorbed underachiever content to drink her worries away. Sure she rose to the occasion, but she wasn't the least bit likable.

I am kicking myself for waiting so long.

What a ride! Blood on the Bayou took the alcoholic slacker from Dead on the Delta who hid from everyone and everything, put her in the drivers seat and boy did she deliver. Lots of personal growth, Many many challenges, and several out of the blue twists made this book a page turner. I loved this story right up until the last 17 pages when Jay took the story in a direction that felt at odds with of all the growth and maturing Annabelle did during the story.
