Hey guys, a book that I read in first semester was the book Murder in the Bayou, written by Ethan Brown. My book was a true crime book so it was filled with very specific details with each crime that was committed. The book has 224 pages of scary, exciting, sad, gross content, but it is all worth the read. So the book starts out with a boy finding a body in the river while fishing. He calls the police and notifies them on the situation they automatically suspect him to be the killer which he is not. After that whole situation there are 7 more crimes like that throughout the book. The setting of the book is in Jefferson Louisiana and these crimes are notified as the Jeff 8. Every death that occurred in this book were all connected, and the casualties were all women. There wasn’t a main character, but you can count the women as main characters. I did not feel any type of connection with this book, due to it being a true crime book. The writing in this book was narrative, and expository, because the author got his facts by going through the city and trying to figure out who committed the crimes. I really enjoyed the book my rating would be and eight out of ten, I recommend this book if you enjoy crime.
