Fear turned to horror when she saw that it was one of the Trahan clan--and he'd been shot in the back.

Coco is trying hard to forget her former boyfriend, get funding for her alligator research, and leave behind the Voodoo her Grandmother believes in for her new found Christian faith. Circumstances keep throwing her and her former boyfriend together though--such as his grandfather's murder. As Coco and her ex investigate they discover secrets from the past that involve both of their families. Will these secrets draw them together or force them apart?
A good solid romantic suspense story, I thought the relationship drama was kind of drawn out unrealistically.
Coco LeBlanc and Luc Trahan were engaged to be married until Luc broke it off. Since then they do their best to avoid each other. But it's pretty hard to avoid each other when Luc's uncle is throwing CoCo's family out of their home. Then Luc's uncle is murdered. CoCo finds the body and later finds the murder weapon. The murder weapon implicates Luc. As CoCo and Luc work together to find out who really killed his uncle they find much more than they bargained for.

Bayou Justice was a great mystery. You didn't know who the killer was until the very end.

Epigraph
I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me up out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hy... (show all)mn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord.
                               ---Psalms 40:1-2

First words
Humidity, the South's great oppressor, seized the Louisiana bayou firmly by the throat. Late afternoon heat washed through the air in waves, turning and mixing to make the region down-right sticky. CoCo LeBlanc wiped her brow... (show all) and squinted, scanning the grassy shores. A living bulk shifted on the lush embankment, then the alligator stretched its mouth, his jagged teeth glistening in the late afternoon sun. Moodoo appeared heathly. CoCo stared, smiling at the twelve-foot reptile. She let out a long sigh. It'd been a rough couple of weeks,nursing the prehistoric beast back from the brink of death. Stupid poachers---would they never learn they couldn't hunt alligators anytime they got the notion?  If she ever caught them . . .
