A contemporary Bluebeard story set in the shadowy edges of New Orleans'
French Quarter by the New York Times best-selling author Melissa Marr
Note: This Audible Original contains sensitive material and may be
upsetting to some listeners.
After receiving a lead from an unlikely source, Juliana, the mortician
tasked with the bodies of victims of the "Carolina Creeper", the South's
most notorious serial killer in decades, sets off to New Orleans in
search of Theresa Morris, an heiress and presumably the Creeper's only
surviving victim.
Theresa now goes by "Tess" and is a shadow of her former heiress self.
She's also being pursued by famous novelist Michael, who sets his sights
on Tess as the muse of his work-in-progress, oblivious to her former
identity.
As Michael gets closer to Tess and begins to put the pieces of her
traumatic past together, Juliana zeroes in on her whereabouts. They
don't know it, but the three of them are on a collision course, hurtling
straight into the Creeper's path.
