I'd have liked this a lot more if not for the totally bizarre inclusion of incorrect Spanish phrases from the main character, who constantly claims not to know much Spanish but is made to employ it as though it's her first language.

Post Katrina NOLA reporter is given her first big story (sex crimes) to write for the Times-Picayune. Great New Orleans ambiance, a flawed and troubled narrator who didn't drive me crazy, better than decent writing, the obligatory gay roommate, and, best of all, I didn't guess the ending. Castro has a second novel out with the same narrator, so it's an official series, now. Sign me up!

3.5 - 4 stars - my first book read in 2013! A very gritty read - not for the faint of stomach. A good solid, gritty female lead with qualities most often read in a male character. Good thrills and chills and twists. Full review pending...

If you had told me what this book was about, I wouldn't have picked it up. I don't, generally, like books that are this dark. But having said that, I'm glad I picked it up at the library thinking it would be a straight forward mystery (which it wasn't). Thank you new book shelf at the library.
