About this listen

 In New Orleans, the intersection between the past and the present is all too often deadly. Archaeologist Faye Longchamp and her excavating team are horrified when a corpse surfaces that's far too new to be an archaeological find. Faye and her fiancé, Joe Wolf Mantooth, are drawn into the investigation by a detective who believes their professional expertise is critical to the case. They quickly learn that trouble swirled around the victim, Shelly Broussard, like winds around the still, quiet eye of a hurricane. Is Shelly's heroic rescue work in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina the key to her death? Or does the sheaf of photos in her work files hold the answer?©2009 Mary Anna Evans (P)2009 Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Critic reviews

"Evans's fifth is an exciting brew of mystery and romance with a touch of New Orleans charm." ( Kirkus Reviews)
"Engaging....Passages from a book about the Katrina disaster by a local author and extracts from the memoirs of a 19th-century military engineer provide insights and historical perspective. Faye's landlady, a part-time voodoo-mambo or priestess, adds spice." - ( Publishers Weekly)

As good as the previous books I’ve purchased in this series. Narration was also really good.

Excellent

Next book in the series. Fay rather miraculously does some of the archaeology she’s paid to do, Joe gets an opinion and New Orleans comes out sounding like a snobbish hell hole. Great fun.
