Story
As New Orleans recovers from Hurricane Katrina, Detective Sept Savoie recovers from a gunshot wound with the help of her new love Keegan Blanchard. As the city returns to normal, so does the crime rate. Sept’s first case back on the job is a strangely ritualistic killing, which quickly escalates into serial murder. As the bodies start to pile up, the last thing Sept needs is the city’s newest celebrity crime writer, Nicole Voles, poking into the case looking for information for a new bestseller, especially when Nicole appears just as interested in Keegan as she is in murder.

Publisher's Summary
Detective Sept Savoie is a cop who thinks making a relationship work is harder than catching a serial killer, but her current case may prove her wrong.
Six months after Hurricane Katrina has devastated most of New Orleans, detective Sept Savoie is battling the nightmare of everything the storm has taken from her when a brutalized body turns up behind one of New Orleans's most famous restaurants, which is run by Keegan Blanchard. The more Sept works through the clues, the more they point to Keegan, which makes the relationship growing between them anything but love at first sight. The first death is only the beginning, though, as the miles of deserted neighborhoods Katrina left behind provide the perfect stage for murder.
A Sept Savoie Romantic Thriller.

Second Book I’ve read of Ali’s
I read Blue Skies and loved it so immediately went searching for another book by the same author. I am really enjoying these books, I would love to find another military one like Blue Skies but this one was really good as well.

Twist, turn, back up, race forward, this book will surprise you.
The basics... a detective must find a killer. Ms Vali takes you to the aftermath of Katrina, in search of a killer. Each chapter brings a clue, a twist, and a turn. New Orleans is explored; religion is brought up; and family is always important. The characters were developed and the audible reader was able to bring the New Orleans, southern bell accent, to life with each character and each word. The question is, “Will you find the killer before Sept?” Hint... Sept is pronounced Set in French.

Interesting read . . .
Having lived through Katrina and it's aftermath, this book brought back a lot of dark memories. I know this was a work of fiction, but the author did a good job in painting the city during a dark time. It was easy for me to visualize the places I loved the characters. I loved the name Sept, being the seventh and last child in my own family. The book made me laugh and had me on the edge of my seat. Very entertaining!

I love this book and the narration of this book. Paige McKinney is one of my favorite narrators and she brings this book to life for me. I have listened to this book at least 6 times this year. And as soon as the next book comes out I will be having a mini marathon. Can't wait to here more about Sept and Keegan and Mike. And whatever new mystery Sept has to solve.

Poorly Narrated
I've gone back to the reviews to see whether I was perhaps not concentrating when I read them before purchasing but, no, the narrator received glowing reviews. i can't understand why. I've returned the audible booked based solely on the narrator. The pace of the reading is disconcerting. Slow and well enunciated is normally to be recommended. This, especially during dialogue ... is... more...like...a...slog...through...treacle. It is also sing song and the continual up and down cadence makes it incredibly difficult to follow the story. It intrudes so dramatically that I found I couldn't connect with the characters at all.
The story is good and I've bought the kindle version just to enjoy the story.
