New Orleans
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I love Julie Smith books because of the great New Orleans feeling they give. The Skip Langdon books are my favorite.
The Best Yet!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I have read many of Julie Smith's books and this has got to be her best work! The story is engaging, the characters are rich, the whole book is a treat! If you're not sure whether to try Julie Smith, start with this one. Some of her later Skip Langdon novels get a little far out there, but this one is a gem.
A Great Mystery Novel
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I am not yet to the end of this book and I have already ordered two more books by Julie Smith. Her writing is excellent. I am at the edge of my seat and I can't wait to see how this turns out. I love a great murder mystery and Skip Langdon is a great character. Keep up the excellent work.
Engrossing characters and a strong plot...

... always make for the best mysteries. None of the characters are dull, Skip, the Hebert family and the always irrepressible Jimmie Dee keep you turning the pages. While the ending may not be a surprise to some readers, you'll have fun getting there. As an added bonus, Julie Smith's passages about New Orleans make you want to hop on the next fight.
