RaveNOW...Sara Gran\'s first book of a new series is one of the most original I\'ve read ... Gran\'s story is as deep as the waters that engulfed the city. In a clever move, she\'s inserted a book within the book, that being fictional French detective Jacques Silette\'s handbook Détection, a talisman that flows like a lifeline through the story and whose philosophy of patience and observation guides Claire in her quest ... The people of New Orleans were largely abandoned after the hurricane. Gran gives a spellbinding account of what that felt like.
