Bad Moon Rising Katherine Sutcliffe 9780515134872 Books Reviews

J.D. Damascus lost his reason to live the night that his wife and children were murdered. Four years after he lost his family, J.D. is only going through the motions of living. Showing up in court to defend clients that can never pay him, and then going home and going to bed. After that he wakes up in the morning and does it all over again. When a series of murders begin that are an eerie reinactment of the serial killer that killed his wife, J.D. is convinced that they put the wrong man to death for the murder of his family. Then a woman comes into his life that forces him to live again.
Holly Jones has vowed to herself never to come back to New Orleans. Even though it could cost her her life, Holly returns when she receives a desperate call from her best friend. When she finds herself in need of a lawyer, she finds J.D.'s number on a stall in the women's restroom. Praying he doesn't recognize her, Holly convinces J.D. to help her find her friend. They had no idea that their search would bring them full circle.
Bad Moon Rising is an awesome suspense and a great romance. J.D. and Holly come together in a time of need for both of them. Both have pasts that they would rather put behind them, but until they forgive themselves, they will never be able to forgive themselves. Together they help each other and try to find a murderer.
Don't miss it!
"Darkling I Listen" intrigued me with its eery atmosphere and compelling characters, and now "Bad Moon Rising" has made me a loyal fan of Katherine Sutcliffe. Sutcliffe portrays her characters so passionately that the reader not only understands the forces that drive them but feels their hurt.
Holly Jones best friend is in trouble. Nothing else would draw her back to New Orleans. With noone left to turn to in the city from which she had barely escaped a few years ago Holly calls burnt out attorney J. D. Damascus. Damascus is fighting his own demons since the brutal murders of his wife and beloved children by the notorious French Quarter killer four years earlier. He reluctantly comes to the aid of this mysterious and beautiful former prostitute when he realizes that they might have a common goal- to find and stop the psychopath who murdered his family and several of Holly's former associates. The same person might now have abducted Holly's missing friend. Although a despicable child molester has been sentenced and put to death for the crime, Damascus is certain that for political purposes the wrong man has been punished. In the process of searching for a killer these two scarred souls find far more than they wanted to, but will their hidden secrets jeopardize their budding relationship as well as their lives?
Here is a story that is as well plotted as it is beautifully written. I was sorry to leave these characters. I certainly look forward to the next book by Katherine Sutcliffe.
This is a very serious story of recovery from life's greatest tragedies and making new starts. It is a story of murder and
prostitution, drugs and a mentally deranged killer. It is a very well written book but make no mistake, it is a dark book. Hope shines in the end but not before. This is my second Katherine Sutcliffe book. I had read Darkling, I Listen prior to Bad Moon Rising and consider Darkling a better book although it was a dark book as well. Both of these novels tend to have a certain amount of grotesqueness and extreme evil. I found the graphic description of killings in Bad Moon Rising too much for comfort but it is still within the framework of a tender story.
J.D. Damascus at one time was an infamous Assistant District Attorney in New Orleans with a great reputation as a prosecutor and roots of a powerful political family. His father had been governor of Louisiana and his family is still immersed in politics. J.D., however, is no longer an active part of that family. He no longer is the powerful prosecutor and he has lost his own personal family. A few years previously his wife and two children were violently murdered and J.D. has since lived in a cloud of alcohol, guilt, and regret. He believes the wrong man was executed for his family's murders and still searches hopelessly for the real killer. J.D. now barely makes ends meet with a law practice representing the less desirable clients of New Orleans.
Holly Jones is a reformed New Orleans prostitute now living a normal life in Branson, Missouri and has no desire to ever return to New Orleans. She is one of the lucky ones and has been able to escape the horrors of her previous life. Holly had left the city after a number of prostitutes were murdered. She seems to know something that no one else knows and suspects the real killer was never apprehended although a man was executed for the murders. When Holly receives a frantic call from one of her close friends still living the life of a prostitute in New Orleans, Holly worries that the real murderer has returned and fears for her friend's life and returns to find her.
J.D. meets Holly when he receives a call to represent her for shooting New Orleans's chief of police. Holly had shot the chief in self-defense and J.D., knowing the chief's carnal weaknesses, threatens to expose him unless he drops the charges against Holly. Once Holly is out of jail, she discovers her car is stolen which contains all of her possessions. With no money and no place to go, J.D. invites her to his apartment for a temporary housing. He rationalizes that he is helping her out but realizes that he is strongly attracted to her.
Clearly Holly is beautiful and irresistible enough for J.D. to consider her former life unimportant. Or it could be that he honestly does not have a judgmental personality. J.D. is truly attractive as the hero both in body and personality as long as he isn't drinking. Holly is attracted to him as well but will not be seduced by him and will not entertain any thoughts that there could ever be anything real between the two of them. As the reader, I had to agree with her thoughts. Somehow, this romance does not ever seem real. It is a thing of fairy tales and doesn't ring true. We see very little of the leads together and certainly even a smaller percentage with them happy together and alone. Those times are mostly just during the sensual scenes. Those scenes rate about a 3.5 out of 5.0 (see More About Me for rating guidelines). They are infrequent and since he is drunk a good part of the time and she is an ex-hooker, it is hard to envision this side of their relationship as meaningful. Perhaps if the leads had been given more pages in the book to grow their relationship, it may have seemed real.
As Holly and J.D.'s circumstances grow worse daily, we are drawn deeper and deeper into their lives. There are some surprises along the way. This is not predictable writing. It is a fine suspense story and although the leads' romance seems too good to be true, it is a story of tenderness and healing. It was not, however, a book that compelled me to keep reading to find out what happened next. In my opinion, it was not an exceptional book - rather an average book. But I do think it is worth your time to read Bad Moon Rising if you can accept the fact that the romance is actually secondary to several other aspects of the book. I have previously written a review on Darkling I Listen should you desire a comparison of the two books.
After being left hanging and wanting more from Hot August Moon...I was soon knee deep in its continuation in Bad Moon Rising.This second instalment and conclusion of the story does not let one down with twists and turns that made me unable to put the book down until I had finished it...Another good read...
I love Katherine Sutcliffe Books she's a great Writer!!!
I have no completes about this Book!!!
The Book come Early!!!
I was so intrigued by the emotionally-damaged, yet strong characters and gut-wrenching plot, I didn't even notice the evening go by. Sutcliffe harnesses her talent in this tightly-plotted, twisted tale with a dash of undeniable attraction between two characters who have suffered great tragedies and come out stronger.
Good story. Great author
