I think this is the best book so far, in the series. We get more of a glimpse into Ben and Rose's relationship and more local history. Very dramatic action sequences.

I love all of the Benjamin January books. This one was satisfying for the development of the relationships between the characters. The plot really took a backseat to that for me, but it was a perfectly acceptable mystery. Can't wait to get the next one!

This book has emotional depth and a silly, silly plot with a silly, silly ending.

I enjoyed this part of the Benjamin January series, but the emotional beats were stronger than the plot IMO.

I love this series of historical mysteries set in New Orleans in the 19th century. Hambly's writing is, as always, evocative and her characters fascinating and well-developed. I just wish she was still writing fantasy...
