NEW ORLEANS MOURNING

Murder among the blue bloods of New Orleans is a complicated juju of clues and secrets. Written by a true insider, this highly recommended novel brings the French Quarter and some of its complicated characters to vivid life. Cristine McMurdo-Wallis's many voices make the story throughly engrossing. But the screeching of some characters may grate on listeners' nerves. Further, some of the dramatic moments seem misinterpreted, requiring intense quiet instead of clamor. B.H.B. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 00]
