More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
In his most enthralling novel since the acclaimed Tupelo Nights, John Ed Bradley tells a scorching story of sex and death in sultry New Orleans.
After years as an “actress” in California, Juliet Beauvais is drawn back to town with the promise of a big inheritance. But she finds her “dying” mother all too healthy and making other plans. Fortunately for Juliet, Sonny LaMott has been carrying a torch for her all these years, and he’s easily lured into a scheme that’s sure to get Juliet what she deserves. Twisted, gothically atmospheric, and replete with surprise, My Juliet is a deliciously dark and mordantly funny tale.

Hot New Orleans Nights!
19 Aug 2000
Format:Hardcover
Wow! What a woman! This Juliet is unlike any character I've ever encountered in life or in fiction. This novel is like New Orleans itself; gorgeous and fun loving on the outside, steamy, sexy, and decaying on the inside. Poor Sonny LaMott! He has the bad luck to fall in love with Juliet, a person of almost no morals and no interest in anything but herself and her own pleasure. Like 'Tupelo Nights,' 'My Juliet' is a terrific read. It is a dark and twisted woman who leads us down a dark and twisted path. A path that is ultimately satisfying because the writing is so wonderful, the characters unforgettable, and the story so seductive.

LOVED this book!
6 Oct 2000
Format:Hardcover
"My Juliet" by John Ed Bradley is a departure for me. It's not really a book that I would be drawn too, but I was so wrong. It was dramatic, emotional, harsh, and crafty. I was fascinated by this tale of two people who are wildly drawn to each other. Their love is dangerous and not healthy. But, you can't stop reading...just like you can't help but look at a car accident. It was tumultuous read, and I was absorbed by these people. Almost obsessively so. I think that if you're a "real" reader with patience and a knowledge of good literature you'll appreciate what the author was trying to do. He was successful and I was enchanted. Wonderful Book!

Loved the start
13 Jan 2001
Format:Hardcover
This book has a fantastic beginning! For me, there is nothing than a good novel from the American south, and this book starts out just that way! The characters are astounding! Juliet has it all! The things that drive us and the characters in the book to her and the same things that drive us away. What a powerful start! About midway, the book takes a turn towards a mundane murder mystery. As a police mystery, the book was not nearly as interesting as it was as a Southern novel. The ending was even weaker. I enjoyed it, but wished that Bradley had continued his write to his strengths to the end.
