A historical thriller set in 1835 New Orleans. A society woman is found murdered in a particularly dangerous part of town. Who killed her and why? Part of the Benjamin January series, the book evokes scenes of old plantations, mysterious swamps, and the dangerous underside of old N'awlins.

This is a most enjoyable series. It's good to see Benjamin January find someone to love after the loss of his wife, Ayasha, in Paris, of cholera. However, Rose has issues of her own. Having been raped, she is reluctant to become close to with any man. Yes, she is attracted to Benjamin enough so that they spend hours together but when her fear of what could happen arises, she draws away from him. Be patient says his sister and he vows that he will, knowing that he cherishes this woman perhaps as much as Ayasha. In this novel he loses a bright and talented young man to whom both he and Rose are close. He's the son that Benjamin has not had. When he is murdered, the two vow to find the murderer. And, the murder of a poor woman from his earlier life puzzles him so much that he is searching for whoever that may be. Coupled with a slave rising, a hurricane and fleeing through the deadly swamps, Rose and Benjamin look for answers. Finding them in unusual ways, they love strengthens even more. If you read this series, I think you will enjoy this one very much. I did.

I enjoy this mystery series which takes place in New Orleans during the 1800s with Benjamin January, a free black musician with medical training.
