I have liked this author's past mysteries but this one totally turned me off. Her detective, Micky Knight, has become thoroughly obnoxious. Maybe she always was and I didn't notice? Maybe she has not aged well? Anyway, characters like her remind me that it is possible for lesbians to be just as misogynistic and sexist as men. As to the mystery itself...very derivative. As if she is trying to rewrite "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" only without the atmosphere and charm. I did not make it to the bitter end so perhaps I shouldn't review this but I read Enough and skimmed to the end.

Death of a Dying Man was the hardest one to read so far in the fabulous Micky knight series. Heartbreaking events throughout the story made it a very emotional read because this is book 5 and I know the characters so well by now. And to see them go through so much hurt is tough.

Micky and Cordelia… oh boy. My heart bleeds for both of them and I don’t know if they can mend things between them. I am almost fearful to read book 6.

J.M. Redmann’s masterful writing keeps me glued to the pages from beginning to end. If you haven’t read any of the series yet I urge you to start at book one. You won’t be sorry.

f/f explicit

Themes: New Orleans, a dying man and the search for a possible daughter, an altered will, hurricane Katrina, infidelity, loss, nothing will be the same ever again.
