The Axeman's Jazz by Ray Celestin
5.0
This book was so good! I actually loved everything about this book and enjoyed every single page.
I loved the story, the characters, the setting, the writing, the cover. Everything.
I've always wanted to go to New Orleans, so I loved how this book painted the city and made me feel like, and wish, I was there.
I found all the characters lovable, flaws and all. My heart broke for them all on many occasions, but they all had the strength to carry on. I didn't expect this book to play with my heart, but it realy did. I was invested in all the characters, their personal stories as well as their investigations of the Axeman's Murders.
Set in 1918-1919, it really opens your eyes to how different the world was back then. You see the kindness of strangers, and hardships for people who are different. I find it heartbreaking knowing how badly people were treated just because of there race or colour, but that is often the truth of the world.
This book was excellent and made me feel a lot more than I expected from a murder mystery. I most definitely will be reading the next two books in this series, and the third when it is out in September. I have discovered a new author to add to my favourites list.
