For years the local ladies of Lehigh, Pennsylvania, have wished aloud that Debbie Shatsky would meet an untimely end—so they could get their hands on Phil Shatsky, sports-hating, dinner-cooking, massage-giving husband extraordinaire. But when Debbie gets hair extensions at the House of Beauty and dies from a reaction to the glue, it’s salon owner Sandy who gets the blame.

Meet Bubbles Yablonsky, beautician-reporter-sleuth and blazing star of Strohmeyer’s entertaining, establishment-bashing debut as a mystery writer. Like the mills that gird the book’s seen-better-days steel town of Lehigh, Pa., the city is itself a seething cauldron.

Dave Robicheaux returns in another Bayou adventure, this one more gruesome and gut-wrenching than any that have come before. Hurricane Katrina has ravaged New Orleans, leaving the streets and buildings flooded and the city awash with opportunists, looters, and vicious criminals. There is no order, no law. Police are shooting randomly at innocent people, prison guards have abandoned their posts, and bodies float through the streets and hang from trees.

great story great characters
Reviewed: 08-04-07
I love this dective and I especially like his pal Clete. This is a great tale with a great comments about Katrina and how our goverment failed these people. I applaud the writer for making more awareness to the plight of the Katrina victims put together with a great detective story. The ending was superb. By the way the narrartor does a great job also. I wish there were more books the were unabridged. I don't like wasting a credit on an unabridged book that is just a few hours long. I am now hooked on James Burke and Dave and Clete
