Story3 out of 5 stars 61
St. Louis, Missouri, is a quietly dying river city until it hires a new police chief: a charismatic young woman from Bombay, India, named S. Jammu. No sooner has Jammu been installed, though, than the city's leading citizens become embroiled in an all-pervasive political conspiracy. A classic of contemporary fiction, The Twenty-Seventh City shows us an ordinary metropolis turned inside out, and the American dream unraveling into terror and dark comedy.

Distracting reader.
Reviewed: 02-04-24
The reader mispronounces so many words, it's distracting. She places emphasis in the wrong places and often doesn't seem to understand the story. Not good.
