Ray Celestin - The Axeman’s Jazz [UK paperback Version]
Hello there! Last week I was at my boyfriend’s and didn’t really have time to read as much as I normally do. I haven’t yet finished this book, but still I wanted to give you my review on this one, because I can’t wait anymore!
The story is set in 1919 in New Orleans. The mysterious Axeman keeps killing people and three people, the policeman Michael Talbot, a private detector (who is accompanied by Lewis Armstrong, which I find amazing!) and a former detective who has just been released from prison investigate in the murders, each approaching the solution from a different angle. The solution, however, is entirely fictional. The actual Axeman was never caught.
I really, really loved the style of writing in the first place. Secondly, I love how the reader himself gets to solve the case with all those background information provided by three different people who solve the case piece by piece, but each hast different witnesses and different ways towards the conclusion.
I also loved how music is involved in this novel. I really like Jazz, and most of the time I’ve been reading I’ve been listening to Jazz simultaneously. I really felt dragged into the first decade of the 20th century. I loved it!
If you like detective novels and historic events - this is the book for you!
