Assassination At Bayou Sauvage (An Andy Broussard/Lit Franklin Mystery) by D.J. Donaldson is a hair-raising murder mystery and forensic thriller set in New Orleans. Andy Broussard is New Orleans' medical examiner and is taking the day off to attend a family gathering celebrating his Uncle Joe's birthday. While sitting at a picnic table with his Uncle Joe, a gunshot is fired from the lake and the birthday becomes a chaotic shambles. The guest of honor has been shot in the head, and his killer is standing in an offshore boat. Unexpectedly, the shooter turns the gun on himself and falls into the water.

With the killer committing suicide in the presence of so many witnesses, it seems like an open and shut case. However, Andy is not convinced, and when more of Uncle Joe's descendants are brutally murdered, his suspicions seem to have some foundation to them. Who is killing them and what is the purpose of killing off Uncle Joe's family line? Andy begins his own investigation into his family lineage and makes a startling discovery. Will it change his future?

Assassination At Bayou Sauvage (An Andy Broussard/Lit Franklin Mystery) by D.J. Donaldson is an exciting and blood-chilling forensic thriller. This gripping murder mystery with explicit crime scenes and gory details will captivate the reader and keep them on the edge of their seat until the shocking and unexpected conclusion. The author is a retired medical school professor and uses his knowledge to enhance this realistic and electrifying murder mystery. Blood, guts, and chills abound in this jolting thriller.
