Review:  Alexandra is a wonder with the amount of books she has coming out soon! She is a woman who has alot of characters 'a callin' in her creative mind, and that is fine with me! I love this series and am happy it is segueing off into the Dallas series, as I'm sure Alexandra will keep him coming back to New Orleans! She captures a wonderful part of the culture of the city and wraps it around the plot line like a warm flannel coat in all of her books!

This was a very quick read- I finished in about 90 minutes! Course that could have been because I wanted to see what was going to happen next! I loved that Alexandra brought the story to the Northshore of NOLA (St Tammany Parish) this time. It is already interesting to try to guess which locales she is using in her stories! This is a wonderful little mystery that will keep you guessing til the end and a great NOLA read!
