rather than try putting books in a 'not interested' folder, I'm going to claim I read them and give a low rating. Putting in not interested, the algorithm seems to think I like the book.

I wasn't convinced by the first two books in this series, but I'm glad I held in there. I'm hooked on Maureen Coughlin; Loehfelm has clearly hit his stride.

Picked this up because of the New Orleans setting and upcoming trip planned for New Orleans. Thought that I'd read it some time ago but found that I only remember the first couple of chapters so suspect I did not finish it for some reason. While I enjoyed the mystery and will go back to reread some of Loehfelm's other Maureen Coughlin books just because of the setting, I found myself frequently frustrated by the main character. For a someone described as a tough cookie, Coughlin sure doubts herself a bunch and caves to the desires and poor choices of others! Also, while New Orleans can be a pretty gritty city, there is a flip side to this that makes people love it, too. There's nothing but the grittiness in Loehfelm's books.

Main character goes thru a long of conflict trying to decide what is the right thing to do whether to back up fellow officers or tell the truth. She has some unresolved emotional conflicts from her past. She is a bit violent and enjoys it and drinks and smokes a little too much. The plot involved police corruption along with home grown terrorists and local scumbags. Wasn't sure how it all tied together at first and the ending was a bit unresolved. Not sure that I liked how the author left the main character hanging but it sets it up for another book.

Enjoyable and easy read, like the last one. It's always fun to dive back into New Orleans for a bit, although I felt that this book used less name-dropping than its predecessor.
