Murder in the Bayou: Who Killed the Women Known as the Jeff Davis 8? by Ethan Brown

3.0

While it’s clear a lot of time and research had gone into this book, I think Murder in the Bayou fell right into dated true crime tropes. The victims were not described more than being just victims—troubled, addicts, mentally ill. There was very little effort to humanize them or show a more complete portrait of the human toll of police corruption. Disappointing all around.
