About this listen
In this debut thriller, a troubled child psychologist returns to a small Louisiana town to protect her secrets but winds up having to protect her life.
Dr. Willa Watters is a prominent child psychologist at the height of her career. But when a viral video of a disastrous television interview puts her reputation on the line, Willa retreats to Broken Bayou, the town where she spent most of her childhood summers. There she visits her aunts’ old house and discovers some of her unstable mother’s belongings still languishing in the attic—dusty mementos harboring secrets of her harrowing past.
Willa’s hopes for a respite are quickly crushed, not only by what she finds in that attic but also by what’s been found in the bayou.
With waters dropping due to drought, mysterious barrels containing human remains have surfaced, alongside something else from Willa’s past, something she never thought she’d see again. Divers, police, and media flood the area, including a news reporter gunning for Willa and Travis Arceneaux—a local deputy and old flame.
Willa’s fate seems eerily tied to the murders. And with no one to trust, she must use her wits to stay above water and make it out alive.

Crime analyst and newly disgraced deputy police chief Vera Boyett doesn’t visit home often, and she certainly doesn’t venture back into the cave on her family land. But when the remains of her long-missing stepmother are discovered, Vera will have to face a past that threatens all she is. She and her sister Eve had a fairy-tale childhood: good until it was tragic, with a stepmother they never found a bond with. At least they had each other, a baby half-sister, and a mutual devotion that would have them do the unthinkable.

Critic reviews
“Sophie Amoss handles the narration of this audio mystery wonderfully.… Amoss stays energetically involved with the plot and characters and handles a range of Southern accents beautifully. She brings drawls and pacing changes to everyone around Willa, especially her mother, whose life is filled with problems. This mystery keeps the listener involved as Amoss guides the story.” —AudioFile Magazine
“The prose here is taut. Suspense and malevolence ooze from every page…An amazing tense debut.” —Midwest Book Review
“An atmospheric debut that will keep you on the edge of your seat! Broken Bayou had me hooked from the first page!” —Ashley Elston, New York Times bestselling author of First Lie Wins

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Jackson (Reid Scott) and Grimes (Cobie Smulders) race to find the killer, setting them on a collision course with the city’s crime underbelly, and a perpetrator who seems happy to toy with them. “Rule number two.

Back to the place where it happened, to where, as carefree teenagers, we lost our elder sister in the most brutal of circumstances. As executors of our grandmother’s will, my twin brother, Ollie, and I needed to empty the house for resale.

They’ve gathered to reminisce at Bea’s family’s estate, a once-glorious mansion straight out of a gothic novel. Best friends, old flames, secret enemies, and new lovers are all under one roof. But when the weather turns and they’re snowed in at the edge of eternity, there’s nowhere left to hide from their shared history. As the walls close in, the pretense of normality gives way to long-buried grief, bitterness, and rage.

Thrilling Southern Mystery - perfect Summer Read!
"Broken Bayou" is an electrifying thriller that takes the reader deep into the heart of Southern Louisiana. The story's setting is so vividly described that it becomes a character in its own right, with the bayou's murky waters, dense fog, and hidden dangers perfectly mirroring the novel's suspenseful and mysterious tone.
From the first page, the author hooks you with a gripping narrative filled with unexpected twists and turns. The plot is masterfully crafted, keeping you on the edge of your seat and constantly second-guessing what will happen next. Just when you think you've figured it out, the story takes another sharp turn, leading to a climax that you won't see coming.
The characters are well-developed, each with their own secrets and motivations that add depth to the story. The interplay between them is intriguing and keeps the reader invested in their fates. The protagonist's complexity makes her vulnerable and likeable. The desciption of the dark and murky bayou is both thrilling and chilling, capturing the essence of the setting perfectly.
I loved "Broken Bayou" for its atmospheric storytelling, complex characters, and unpredictable plot. It's a must-read for anyone who enjoys a good thriller with a Southern twist. The ending is particularly satisfying, wrapping up the story in a way that feels surprising. The narrator captures the south perfectly with her dialect.
"Broken Bayou" is a testament to Jennifer Moorhead]'s storytelling prowess and a thrilling ride from start to finish. Highly recommended! Can't wait for her next book!!

Held My Interest, But...
Nothing really new or exciting. The twist was disappointing. I'd rather have no twist than one that was written just to shock with zero lead-up. The whole "person you'd least expect" trope is getting cliché, especially when there was nothing that really ever pointed to them throughout the story. When a twist comes, I want it to be a surprise, yes...but I want it to be one that makes everything fall into place and make me wonder how I missed it, not say, "I could have never seen that coming because I was never given the right clues to get there." But overall, it was a decent read, and the writing style was engaging enough with some character development thrown in there.

Moody Mystery Thriller
This is a pretty standard mystery thriller - girl goes back to her hometown, confronts things in her past, old secrets come to light.... but I thought this was done really well. No gratuitous violence/gore/sex. I loved the setting and really thought it added to my enjoyment of the story. While I started to piece things together, there were a few really good red herrings toward the end. This book was very enjoyable, nothing too dark, nothing to cutesy - just right.
