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. Local law enforcement officials were quick to pursue a serial killer theory, opening a floodgate of media coverage—from CNN to TheNew York Times. Epic in scope and intensely suspenseful, Murderin 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.. 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

With a depraved and threatening cast of characters, Brown delivers a dogged, courageous inquiry into the murders of eight women. "Ethan Brown's daring and dangerous exposé uncovers a murky inferno of violence and corruption in south Louisiana, where it's hard to tell the good guys from the bad, and the brutal murders of eight prostitutes go unpunished, though not necessarily unsolved."—John Berendt, author of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil“A deeply reported, and disturbing, true crime story that is as puzzling as it is intriguing. This is a book about power: those who wield it, and those who, tragically, fall victim to it.”—Janet Reitman, contributing editor at Rolling Stone and author of the New York Times Notable Book Inside Scientology"By way of Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana, Ethan Brown casts light on an America that many people would pref

giving the facts that the author has discovered in an entertaining and easy to read manner Violence, corruption, incompetence, intimidation, cronyism, lies, cover ups and back door politics are just some of what this book uncovers in a little southwest Louisiana town. While it shines a magnifying lens on Jennings, La. be sure that this type of thing goes on in towns small and large all over the country. The book is well researched and well presented, giving the facts that the author has discovered in an entertaining and easy to read man. One of the best true crime books I have read, unfolding right now - Highly Recommended Bradley Bevers This is a concise book, just over 200 pages, and one of the best true crime/investigative books I have come across. Brown spent years and combed through thousands of pages of documents and interviews to research this, and its very well done - one of the things I hate the most about true crime books is how they tend to sprawl through 500-600 pages when they could have gotten there much faster. There is nothing wasted in this book.Beyond the meticul. Love it! Courtney reeves I could give this book a 10 out of 10! Loved it makes you think twice about trusting people in Jennings I'm too scared to walk down the road anymore, but shines light on these poor innocent women who deserve justice! Great work Ethan!
