Description
An explosive, true-life southern gothic story, Murder in the Bayou chronicles the twists and turns of a high-stakes investigation into the murders of eight women in a troubled Louisiana parish.
Between 2005 and 2009, the bodies of eight women were discovered around the murky canals and crawfish ponds of Jennings, Louisiana, a bayou town of 10,000 in the heart of the Jefferson Davis parish. Local law enforcement officials were quick to pursue a serial killer theory, opening a floodgate of media coverage, from CNN to the New York Times. Collectively the victims became known as the "Jeff Davis 8," and their lives, their deaths, and the ongoing investigation reveals a small southern community's most closely guarded secrets.
As Ethan Brown suggests, these homicides were not the work of a single serial killer, but the violent fallout of Jennings' brutal sex and drug trade, a backwoods underworld hidden in plain sight. Mixing muckraking research and immersive journalism over the course of a five-year investigation, Ethan Brown reviewed thousands of pages of previously unseen homicide files to determine what happened during each victim's final hours.
Epic in scope and intensely suspenseful, Murder in the Bayou is the story of an American town buckling under the dark forces of poverty, race, and class division - and a lightning rod for justice for the daughters it lost.

Frightening and informative
Traber Burns is a spectacular narrator for this disturbingly gripping look into police corruption in Louisiana. Having gone to LUNO, I knew all about political corruption but this opened my eyes to the scary depths said corruption goes.

Great investigative journalism 👌🏻
Ethan Brown did an amazing job, his compassion for the victims comes through, as well as his knowledge of Southwestern Louisiana. Learned a lot about Louisiana history and loved that he went into the economic background of the counties or parishes the women came from, lived, and died in. Really paints the scene for how hopeless this place is, with no economic prospects for those without a foot in with the elite, and how corruption is at the heart of the ruin, and ruins everything around it. The people he interviews are complicated. I saw the documentary on Crave, and liked it. Then listening to this book, and hearing the details that did not make it into the documentary just leaves so many more questions! Book is better than the show, but would recommend both! Thanks very much!
