Murder on the bayou

…forcing rivals to unite.

When a young woman is found in a Louisiana swamp, police detective King Randolph finds his investigation hindered by private investigator Lenore Martin. He’s loath to share this murder investigation with such a problematic person. But despite mutual distrust, they forge a combative alliance. Soon, as more bodies drop, heat rises between the partners. And grave danger threatens from every corner of New Orleans.

King is is a police detective who seems to be coming across Lenore Martin a private investigator lately. It seems she's got people in high places but he's the police and he needs to do his job well without her getting into the way but it seems like she might be what he needs to get people around to talk to him. The more they investigate this case the more gruesome the details they come across and the more it seems that this might be an inside job and they will do everything they can to figure out what's going on and taking down the ring who is causing these murders.

Whew there's a lot to pack with this book. I really enjoyed watching as they work together on the case thanks for Rocky in the beginning but I enjoyed seeing how they eventually got over many hurdles. There's a better romance and a bit of steamy scenes. I thought it was interesting how they used their connections to get to what they needed. But as things got closer to ending the case things start to ramp up which is really interesting as well was wondering how that was played out because obviously these people are not going to want to get taken down so I'm wondering at what lengths they would take to stop them. Overall this was a really good book and I really enjoyed it.
