A review by beytwice
The Axeman's Jazz by Ray Celestin
5.0
A beautifully written thriller; all expectations were exceeded as I did not anticipate Celestin’s first novel to be a five-star read for me. The storylines are not so separate as to feel disjointed, only intertwining in very subtle instances, but correlated enough to let the story flow and tell itself perfectly.
The atmosphere is drenched in musical tones and conveys the spirit of New Orleans to a T. Locations in general are depicted with great imagery, from the claustrophobic scene of a party to the watery half-world of the bayou. Nothing but praise and excitement to read the next.
