All I can say is WOW. Five stars and then some. This is a mystery in a series, and too bad I've never run across it before. Set in contemporary New Orleans, it is scary and suspenseful, funny, really sad, and can even be lyrical, especially when setting the scene in southern Louisiana. The description of the unreality of the beauty, tragedy and mayhem impressed me.
If I read another book by Mr. Burke and it is just as good, Walter Mosley's crown as my favorite living author may be in danger.
