A review by nerdyrev
Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead by Sara Gran

4.0

Set in post Katrina New Orleans, it is the twisty story of who killed Vic. Claire DeWitt is such an interesting character and the use of dreams to help her solve the crime was an interesting take as she knows what is happening, but just can't see it for herself. New Orleans really comes alive in this book, but it isn't the Bourbon St tourist part, but rather the real parts of single and doublewides. It is where the neighborhood people are. DeWitt herself isn't a characterture either as she struggles, gets high, loses thought, and has baggage. My only complaint, if there is one, it ends at least 3 times, but then keeps going each time. I enjoyed it.
