Wow, I am fascinated with the whole Storyville history, love Bellocq's photos and this book really captured the atmosphere of what that era must have been life. I took the afternoon off and read the whole book. I did NOT guess who the murderer was.
A fine read!

Murder in the brothels of New Orleans in 1907. Very strong feel for the city and the social life of the time in the backstreets. Winner of the Shamus Award.

I grew up in the New Orleans area and love my heritage so much that I have studied many aspects of the town, including Storyville. Even though this book is fictional, it has accurate facts about Storyville along with the music of the era. I was very surprised to learn that this was David Fulmer's first novel.

A great mystery in 1890s New Orleans--a little gritty (the victims are all prostitutes), but it was very gripping.
