Crossroad Blues by Ace Atkins
4.0
Very solid first novel for Ace Atkins who submerge the reader in a New-Orleans scenery where you can almost feel the hot air, smell the cigarette smoke and alcohol, and hear the Delta Blues licks from Robert Johnson and all of his "influencees".
They're clearly are influences from Dan Brown on the way the story is told but I don't see that as a bad thing since Nick Travers is way more interesting than Brown's Langdon.
Read the first few pages and you'll want to finish the book with your back against a massive oak, in the shade of a 100 degrees sun listening to some old records, sipping Dixie beer.
A nice read.
