Claire DeWitt is not your average private investigator. She has brilliant skills of deduction and is an ace at discovering evidence. But Claire also uses her dreams, omens, and mind-expanding herbs to help her solve mysteries, and relies on Détection—the only book published by the great and mysterious French detective Jacques Silette before his death.

The tattooed, pot-smoking Claire has just arrived in post-Katrina New Orleans, the city she’s avoided since her mentor, Silette’s student Constance Darling, was murdered there. Claire is investigating the disappearance of Vic Willing, a prosecutor known for winning convictions in a homicide-plagued city. Has an angry criminal enacted revenge on Vic? Or did he use the storm as means to disappear? Claire follows the clues, finding old friends and making new enemies—foremost among them Andray Fairview, a young gang member who just might hold the key to the mystery.

I got this book through some sort of promotion or other. Always a good way to meet a new writer, though it's hit and miss. This book was good enough that I will keep choosing her books and I hope they are as good as this one.

The story moved along well and the character development was excellent. It isn't a supernatural story, the IChing and her dreams are just a portion of what she uses to solve the mystery and are related sort of in passing. It's a good choice for a listen.

Fast paced and interesting

What did you like best about Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead? What did you like least?

As a Louisiana native, I'm always looking for a story set in New Orleans. I found the narration a little corny. And I didn't find myself terribly attached to any of the characters. Disappointing.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Possibly. Mainly for the New Orleans setting.

A little dull

Ms. Gran needs work on her character development. I liked her heroine and the story, but there is no depth to her writing

an O.K. read

One of my top ten audiobooks. I listen to it every couple of years. this author and narrator were made for each other.

A perfect book, an even more perfect audio book.

I found this a somewhat mystical adventure with purpose into the after effects and of Hurricane Katrina.
