Resumen del Editor

Best-selling author Barbara Hambly’s A Free Man of Color and Fever Season established Benjamin January as one of mystery’s most exciting heroes. Now he returns in a powerful new novel, a sensual mosaic of old New Orleans, where cultures clash and murder can hover around every darkened corner.

It is St. John’s Eve in the summer of 1834 when Benjamin January - Creole physician and music teacher - is shattered by the news that his sister has been arrested for murder. The Guards have only a shadow of a case against her. But Olympe - mystical and rebellious - is a woman of color, whose chance for justice is slim.

As Benjamin probes the allegation, he is targeted by a new threat: graveyard dust sprinkled at his door, whispering of a voodoo death curse. Now, to save Olympe’s life - and his own - Benjamin knows he must glean information wherever he can find it. For in the heavy darkness of New Orleans, the truth is what you make it, and justice can disappear with the night’s warm breeze as easy as graveyard dust.

Entertains

I found myself leaning in to hear what would happen next. I loved the performance of the reader.

Very enjoyable.

I’m enjoying the Benjamin January series very much. As a frequent visitor to New Orleans, i find the author’s descriptions of people & places really help me visualize how it the French Quarter must’ve been long ago. The narration is captivating, allowing me to easily picture the characters and to follow their dialog-the narrator appears to maintain the different character voices throughout the chapters so their individual dialogs are separate & distinct.
