Blood on the Bayou
Location(s): New Orleans
Genre(s): Crime, Fiction
Era(s): Modern
New Orleans’s plump and proud chief medical examiner, Andy Broussard, and his gorgeous assistant, criminal psychologist Kit Franklyn, set off to investigate a series of violent murders.
Examination of the victims leads to the discovery that each has the throat ripped out: with a garden fork and something unrecognizable–something no man could have made.
‘Blood on the Bayou’ is written in Donaldson’s unique style: A hard-hitting, punchy, action-packed prose that’s dripping with a folksy, decidedly southern, sense of irony. Add in Donaldson’s brilliant first-hand knowledge of forensics and the sultry flavour of New Orleans, and the result is first class forensic procedural within an irresistibly delectable mystery.
