This novel by Anne Logan (aka Barbara Colley) is definitely more a THRILLER MYSTERY than a contemporary romance, even down to a bad cop in New Orleans Police Department. The 1947 song "Old Devil Moon" is source of book's title, and love of music as a career plays a role in the book's storyline. The "trivia term" added to my repertoire of knowledge from this book was 'Greek revival home'. One of the bad guys lived in a small Greek revival, not characteristic for St. Charles Avenue in New Orleans. So the house would have had markings such as columns, a portico, and gabled roof.

I enjoyed this story line and characters for a small book. She would do anything to prove her brothers innocence.
