Search - Fever Season (Benjamin January, Bk 2)

This is a great series, with strong and fascinating characters. It takes place during a period of Southern history that not many authors write about. If you love New Orleans, you'll enjoy this book.

The Benjamin January series features an African American hero who was born in still-French Louisiana at the turn of the 19th century. His mother is the mistress of a plantation owner and his sister is following that path as well. Benjamin went to Paris to train as a doctor and returns to New Orleans only after the death of his beloved wife. This installment has him trying to solve a baffling murder while yellow fever is killing rich and poor all around him.

Interesting account of life in pre-Civil War New Orleans. Characters and story well developed. I highly recommend this book

Second book in the Benjamin January series.
