Customer Reviews of Papa La-Bas (Carr, John Dickson)
Customer Rating:
Review Summary: Historical setting-- elements of black magic and passion
Review: This gripping mystery is set in 19th century New Orleans. There is passion and even discreet references to sex-- New Orleans in those days was a very exotic place. The characters are well drawn, and the plot involves murder (of course), jealosy, witchcraft, romantic rivalries. The historical setting really comes to live in every detail. Carr must have researched carefully. You will not be disappointed.
