Helpful Score: 1


A well plotted mystery full of surprises, taking place in the unusual setting of 1833 New Orleans, in the Creole community. All sorts of fascinating glimpses into issues of race and culture of the time. Protagonist Benjamin January is himself a mystery, one who doesn't quite get solved in one book.
