Old secrets are rising up to haunt the inhabitants of Louisiana's small, rustic St. Germaine Parish, where no one is quite who they seem, and restless spirits are rumored to roam the woods and the antebellum mansion of the town's richest family, the St. Michels. Successful New York City artist Mignon Thibeaux doesn't believe in ghosts, but even she can't resist the rumors that the St. Michel mansion may be haunted, especially since its owner, Luc St. Michel, was the same man whom her mother ran off with 25 years ago before disappearing into thin air. Convinced that there was more to her mother's strange departure, Mignon returns to her hometown of LaValle, Louisiana to investigate. Once there, she doesn't know who she can trust - from the handsome, rugged sheriff who seems to have his own agenda, the guarded Louisiana Supreme Court judge who hides behind a wall of lies, and finally to Eleanor St. Michel, Luc's vindictive wife, who is relentless in her pursuit of the supernatural, convinced that the séances she hosts in the dead of night will appease the spirits and put an end to the hauntings. Bayou Moon is a gripping tale of murder, revenge, and voodoo in small town Louisiana that captures all the ambience and charm of the rural South. Someone has a secret that must be kept hidden, and God help the one who tries to uncover it...… (mehr)

Garlande Thibeaux disappeared 25 years ago with her lover. Her daughter, artist Mignon, believes she was murdered and so she has come back La Valle, Louisiana to get the murderer to confess.

There is a strong paranormal thread running thru this investigation into a possible murder. It heightens the suspense and caused twists and turns to my who-done-it list. Excellent plotting, great character development and pacing that caused me to want to not to have to put the book down for even a minute. ( )

It is common knowledge that Luc St. Michael and Garlande Thibeaux left their spouses and children and ran off together. Twenty-five years later Garlande's daughter, Mignon, a famous painter, returns to St. Germaine Parish in northwestern Louisiana to find the answers that has eluded her all her life. She is a beautiful woman; the exact image of her mother and her return has shaken up many influential people in the town.
Mignon's plan is working because she believes there are people in town who knows exactly what happened to Luc and Garlande. She needs to shake it out of them using Eleanor St. Michael's interest in the spirit world to do so. Already subtle threats have been made against her but Mignon intends to find justice for those falsely maligned no matter who pays the price.

Lovers who have been missing for twenty-five years, the children and a wife they left behind, corrupt politicians and policemen, voodoo and a southern mansion with a ghost. What else do you need to make a great novel? Bayou Moon is a fantastic blend of authentic, small-town, Louisiana culture and sordid crime. 4.5 stars for a great first effort. ( )

It was ok. There were some questions I needed to get answered, but the book did not seem to answer them. ( )
