This was a great listen! The story carries itself, and the narrator enhances the story and characters with great voices and narration.
Lazarus is a necromancer. A woman stops him on his way home and tells him someone is trying to kill her. He blow her off only to find her dead on his doorstep the next morning and he is the prime suspect. A female cop, to her chagrin, winds up helping him investigate to find the real murderer, but she is very skeptical throughout and still thinks Laz had something to do with it.
New Orleans is the setting, so there is magic and voodoo, along with Death and Baron Samedi, and they may be trying to take Laz with them for good.
Fun start to a new series that I will be looking for more of.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
