Murder in the Bayou: Who Killed the Women Known as the Jeff Davis 8? by Ethan Brown
3.0
3.5 stars- Insanely well-researched dive into decades long corruption in southwest Louisiana. Brown does an amazing job blowing the cover off an “atmosphere of total unaccountability … on the streets, but it appeared more ominously in law enforcement…”
The lawlessness and fear that higher ups use to control these women is terrifying and you will appreciate the respect/sensitivity shown by Brown as well as his dedication to get to the bottom of the story.
There is a lot of he said/she said and it can be a bit hard to follow at times, but i feel like that is to be expected from any type of investigation reporting. Picture the board with the strings connecting all the pictures. That being said I do think this was an eye opening book in many ways.
