Down in New Orleans

By: Heather Graham

Narrated by: Lauren Ezzo

A woman plunges into the dark corners of the Big Easy to clear her ex-husband of murder in a novel by the New York Times best-selling author of Deadly Fate.

Ann and Jon Marcel are a rare case; five years after their divorce, they're good friends, and Ann has come to love Jon's hometown of New Orleans. Until the day Jon staggers through her door covered in blood and mumbling, "I didn't do it." Jon is charged with murdering a stripper, and in order to save him, Ann will have to dive into the sordid New Orleans underworld, looking for clues in erotic clubs and seamy jazz spots. And, if that weren't enough, she must deal with the resolute detective bent on bringing her husband to justice - the eagle-eyed lieutenant who dogs her steps and surfaces in her dreams. But despite her wavering affections, Ann has bigger concerns as she becomes embroiled in a fight not only for Jon's freedom, but also for her life.

Down in New Orleans is a thrilling tale of romantic suspense by the best-selling and award-winning author of the Krewe of Hunters series, called “a master” by Booklist.

Twisted!

It was a great story that keeps you guessing. I never suspected the real killer!

Great story…..

Really had me stumped on this one! I thought I had it figured out until the very end! Great twist!

Not one of her better stories

It seemed rushed and it was hard to keep up on the characters. Did have a surprise ending I wasn’t expecting!

Not as good as Heather Graham’s other novels.

I found the 2 main characters infuriating. Ann is a stubborn idiot and Mark is a toxic asshole. I found myself yelling at them throughout this book. The murder mystery itself was good but if it weren’t for that, I would have stopped listening well before the end.

Did not see that coming.

Spicy as the city it is set scene in. I did not see the twist coming.
Great performance and storyline.
It’s on my list of books to listen to again.

New Orleans' Thriller

I enjoyed the building of suspense; however, fewer sex scenes, which broke up the story, would have made the thriller's suspense easier to maintain. I enjoy everything I have read by Heather Graham. I am just not into sex scenes.

Not the best

I enjoy the author’s books. I hard a very hard time getting into this one.

I couldn't stand all the bickering between the 2 main characters. it was very tiresome.

I did not like the story. I did not like Ann or Mark. I have read a lot of Heather Graham's books and am a fan but I struggled to read this book through to the end.
