Great mystery! It kept me guessing, and I found the portrayal of the setting (New Orleans, 1830s) as interesting as the story.
Fifth book in the Benjamin January series.
Inspired me to visit New Orleans, the story brought history to life so vididly and the fast paced action made it a great read. Couldn't put it down.
This is one of my favorite series - Benjamin January is a free man of color in New Orleans in the early 1800's. Excellent period writing.
