Terror stalks the streets of Bayou Breaux, Louisiana. But pursuing the investigation will mean forming an alliance. Hoag but you'll definitely enjoy the story with or without it.Terror stalks the streets of Bayou Breaux, Louisiana. Tami Hoag doesn't write romance novels but there is always some small element of romance included. It's a book that you wanted to end just to find out who did it but you didn't want it to end because it was so exciting. This story had everything cops, lawyers, district attorneys, victims, crazy relatives and many many suspects. It did provide some great comic relief moments though.Ī great story of murder, stalking, police brutality, vigilantism, conspiracy, harrassment and rape. I really liked Nick's edginess though it really made his job difficult. Nick is a little crazy (well maybe a lot) and Annie is reluctant to get involved with him even if it is only for his investigation notes. The interplay between Annie and Nick is fabulous and edgy as hell. Annie is suspicious of the cop in charge and begins her own investigation. Detective Nick Fourcade is prime on the case and goes over the line forcing his suspension. Again just WOW!ĭeputy Annie Broussard gets entangled in the murder of Pam Bission since she is the one who found the body. A Thin Dark Line really keeps you guessing right up until the final chapter. Man, the story leads you in one direction, to one killer and then WHAM it's not him! And then there's another likely suspect and it's not him.

Wow what a book! Tami Hoag uses misdirection upon misdirection upon misdirection to confuse the shit out of you.
