How can you go wrong with a book set in New Orleans involving being haunted by Cajun musician A.P.Savoie-- and with such an evocative title?

I came across this book in a free book box at my favorite local place for a coffee, the Sherman Cafe. No one had tagged it, so I took it home to do so. I shall undoubtedly release it again.

A delightfully creepy story, suspenseful without being bloody (thank goodness). Not a book that will win prizes for innovative writing, perhaps, but a fun and engaging read. Such longing--! The children are particularly well-drawn (to the extent that you get really irritated with some of them). More than anything I found it refreshing to read a book set in the [US] South and written by a Southerner, but without any overt axe-grinding about it being so-- almost taking for granted the beauty and difference of this part of the country compared to the rest of it. Ahhhh.

Given to a friend in the hopes that she will both enjoy it & maybe get sucked into the wonderful world of bookcrossing (heh, heh, heh).
