Title: The best Benjamin January yet...
Review: I have been reading this series faithfully. I believe this one, so full of all the regular characters (save one), once more saturated in the New Orleans culture of the early nineteenth century, is the finest effort Ms. Hambly has come up with. I too enjoyed that Lt. Shaw, in all his crude glory, was featured, with a hint that there's more to this man (a tragic love affair?). Like Anne Perry, Barbara Hambly writes about another era with such skill that one can almost believe that he or she is there--smell the fetid swamps, feel the moist heat... The excitement of the final scenes kept me riveted. I wanted to make this book "last," but I could not! I look forward avidly for the next installment.
