It may not be fair for me to rate this book, because I didn't get very far into it before I gave it up. By a few chapters in, I didn't care about any of the characters and actively disliked most of them. I didn't care at all who killed the guy. The roving first-person POV was not done well, so instead of being interested enough to sort out whose head I was in, I was just confused. PERHAPS if one was from NOLA or really a cultural insider, one might enjoy being part of the "in group" and understanding the references, but to this Yankee (who typically does enjoy insight into other cultures), the plot and characters weren't worth the research necessary to sort it all out. I'm also not into familial disfunction in my beach reading, and this book is full of tangled, sad family interaction.
