â€œDelicious and addictive.â€â€”Salon.com

â€œReads . . .Â as if David Lynch directed a Raymond Chandler novel.â€â€”CNN

â€œWhat would you get if that punkish dragon girl Lisbeth Salander met up with Jim Sallisâ€™s Lew Griffin walking the back streets of New Orleans? Or Sue Graftonâ€™s Kinsey Millhone transformed herself into a tattooed magnolia driving a 4x4? Clare DeWitt, thatâ€™s what youâ€™d get . . . DeWittâ€™s mesmerizing character and memorable voice take your breath away.â€â€”New Orleans Times-Picayune

This knock-out start to a bracingly original new series features Claire DeWitt, the worldâ€™s greatest PIâ€”at least, that's what she calls herself. A one-time teen detective in Brooklyn, she is a follower of the esoteric French detective Jacques Silette, whose mysterious handbook DÃ©tection inspired Claireâ€™s unusual practices. Claire also has deep roots in New Orleans, where she was mentored by Siletteâ€™s student the brilliant Constance Darlingâ€”until Darling was murdered. When a respected DA goes missing she returns to the hurricane-ravaged city to find out why.

â€œThe hard-living, wisecracking titular detective bounces around post-Katrina New Orleans trying to track down a missing prosecutor in this auspicious debut of a new mystery seriesâ€”and the Big Easy is every bit her equal in sass and flavor.â€â€”Elle

â€œReminds me why I fell in love with the genre.â€â€”Laura Lippman
