Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
In two previous mysteries written under the pen name Alice Storey, Shankman introduced Atlanta journalist/detective Samantha Adams; here Sam is hired to find out if foul play is involved when an alcoholic ophthalmologist is run down by a car in New Orleans. PW called this "witty. . . . Shankman's engaging characters speak in authentic Southern dialogue and engage in swift repartee."

From Library Journal
Beauteous Samantha Adams, Atlanta journalist, visits New Orleans school chum Kitty for Mardi Gras. Sam gains entree to all the privileged parties, but uses her status to question family members about the hit-and-run death of Kitty's brother. She vies for information with handsome (younger) insurance investigator Harry Zack, nephew of Kitty's brother, so an interesting contest--heightened by mutual attraction--develops between the two. As they sort through mismatched people and illogical clues, the author pokes fun at Southern traditions and mannerisms, while at the same time steeping the reader in New Orleans atmosphere. A little bit corny and coy, but generally amusing and fun.

My favorite Sam Adams book.,
By "pp@dell.com" (Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Now Let's Talk of Graves (Paperback)
Sam Adams is back,and in New Orleans to help her friend and pr,Kitty Lee. The basis of the book without giving away any specific plot details,is that Sam runs into will be flame Harry,Harry is having problems of his own(you'll have to read the book to find out what they are),and in the middle of it all is Mardi Gras complete with gangsters galore and bulima. Got that? Oh,and don't forget that wonderful,moss dripping,hush your mouth New Orleans,Ann Rice,Old World snobbery,great food,scenery
