1930s noir and a vampire with a heart who interacts with the mob.
P. N. Elrod is amazing in her depiction of the time period. You can see, smell, feel, and hear it as you read.

Still enjoying this series. I can eat 'em up like candy.

This is the 10th book in the series and I haven't read any of the previous, so I had no idea what to expect. After a relatively slow start reminescent of some of the TV series where the main character solves a small case at the beginning and then moves on to the major case of the episodes it quite quickly turns into a fast paced, intense, witty story of classic gangster Chicago of the 1930s. With vampires. Loved it. (I should definitely get a hold of the rest, at least the next one, especially if it takes care of some of the loose ends this one leaves.)
Edit: After reading all the previous ones, it's much more satisfying to get to this one again with much better understanding of characters and setting. Glad I read it again.
