[Moonlight Murder 01] • The Journey of B.J. Donovan

Virgil slid a pint of whiskey out of his hip pocket. Sat on the floor beside his wife’s dead body. Stayed long past midnight. At daybreak, he took his five-year-old daughter to live with his older brother and the missus.

Bérénice Jacquette survived a horrific childhood in a secluded cabin in the swampland of Louisiana only to wind up trapped in a bitter, loveless marriage. In spite of a harrowing past still haunting her, she is determined to find her independence. Harboring ambitions to be a successful author she attempts to pen a work of fiction.

As the executive chef of a popular restaurant in New Orleans, she believes no one suspects her of committing murder in the light of the moon while writing a realistic crime novel.

When a homicide detective steps into her life she doesn’t wonder if he knows her secrets. She thinks only about how he can be useful to her.
