Two years after a night out with his
family became a tragedy that still haunts him, Clint Wolf has moved to the
small Louisiana of Mechant Loup. He is the new Chief of Police and is lucky to
survive his first day on the job and a close encounter with an alligator.
Someone else was not so lucky as
soon an alligator is found with an arm in its mouth. The search for the owner
of the arm eventually results in the recovery of a body that has been shot in
the head. A murder in their midst is just the surface of the swamp in the
latest mystery from Louisiana author B. J. Bourg titled But Not Forgotten.
Rich in setting and characters this
mystery read powers along from start to finish. Author B. J. Bourg stirs in
elements of a romance, mixed martial arts, and plenty of local politics and law
enforcement details to make But Not Forgotten a must read. Like
his novel James
516 released last year, the world of law enforcement plays a strong
role in the read while making those involved very much human and not the
sterile, non-feeling types often portrayed in the media.
But Not Forgotten touches familiar themes of the author’s work such as
honesty, doing the job correctly under difficult conditions, and integrity
while also providing a deep backstory and plenty of current mystery. Multiple
things are at work in the read and steadily builds to a very strong climax in a
mystery that hopefully is the start of a series.

This book sounds like a good change of pace from my Illinois environment. Although we do have a scant amount of coyotes roaming around, plus too many mosquitoes in the summer, we certainly don't have alligators to be concerned about.
It would be very different, Morgan.
Sounds good. BJ Bourg never disappoints.
