The Publisher Says: As New Orleans continues to rebuild in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Chanse MacLeod becomes involved in a high profile case involving a golden couple of Hollywood who have committed themselves to helping New Orleans recover.
My Review: Chanse is the tortured
This story isn't quite up to the characters telling it. It's not bad. It's interesting, it's exciting, but...I don't quite know what to mention...there's something missing, perhaps because there's no romantic interest for our titillation...?
At all events, I'm into the series too deep to back out. The final book is already out, series-o-philes! No surprises!
Pardon me, I need to get to Death in the Arts District.

is found murdered. Not near as dark as the previous one. A bit easier to figure or clues were more obvious in this one than other in the series as well. Show Less
