Murder in the Bayou: Who Killed the Women Known as the Jeff Davis 8? by Ethan Brown
3.0
"It's Jennings, man." He gave me a friendly, almost collegial clap on the shoulder. "Welcome to the dirty south."
This was an interesting and deeply sad story. A small town, population about 10,000, has had a horrible habit of losing some of its most vulnerable members - women who are struggling on the fringes of their town - but losing them to murder.
All of these women left family behind - mothers, siblings and sometimes even children. And the mystery around all their deaths, the author's reasons to tie them together but also to tie them to certain people who maybe probably did it. It was an interesting read full of heartache but also anger. How have these not been solved?! I'm anxious to see the show they made out the book.
