"I managed to keep it a secret when it happened. I'm pretty sure I can keep it a secret now."
New Orleans' historic Darkwater Inn not only hosts a myriad of guests, but plenty of secrets as well. General Manager Adelaide Fontaine has just discovered that her painful past is tragically on the brink of exposure; how can she keep the light of truth from shining too far back into the darkness?
Detective Beau Savoie is tasked with investigating the murder at the Darkwater; and his beloved childhood friend appears to be right in the middle of it, especially after preliminary evidence casts suspicion on Addie Fontaine's motives and connections. And what about her coworker Dimitri Pampalon? They seem quite cozy and Beau is not at all sure what he thinks about that. "If only he'd been able to tell her . . . .before now . . . . . If only he'd been able to tell her and her father the truth so many years ago." Well now, it seems that Beau has secrets of his own.
Enjoy this intriguing foray into the bowels of the magnificent New Orleans' French Quarter, where sights, sounds, and mysteries abound; and in this case, a curious love triangle deliciously dangles, warranting another exciting trip to the Darkwater Inn!
