Belle Chasse is a Mississippi river boat, permanently docked in New Orleans. It is the office of boat salesman Glenn Kenney, a former Navy Seal and former husband of murder victim Debra Kenney. When police fail to move forward in finding Debra's killer, Glenn gets involved and what at first glance appeared to possibly be a jealousy motivated slaying becomes a whole new kettle of fish.It turns out that Glenn didn't know Debra very well even though she had been his wife.Glenn explores Debra's past, first holding back and then releasing the information he garners to police sergeant Connie Mellor, and the two eventually join forces to find the killer.The story is well-balanced and logically moves from one plane to the next for a very exciting read. Two beefs: Connie Mellor makes far too many mistakes to be credible as a good and dedicated cop and Glenn, who generally sees people clearly and has a very open mind, is far too naive about some of them including Debra.Whatever: I thoroughly enjoyed the book despite the shortcomings!
