Chatting Books Online Day 155. This weekend I returned to a sure thing and read an Erica Spindler book I had not come across before and "Watch Me Die" did not disappoint. Filled with fast paced, chilling thrills and suspense this one is set in New Orleans (and I am almost hesitant to say this part) 6 years post-Katrina. I say that I am hesitant about that because I for one, am not a fan of "Katrina Books". I feel like I lived through it once I don't need to wallow in it. This book does not. Yes, it refers to the fact that it is 6 years Post-Katrina but more as background information for the characters and their motivations, what makes them tick. It does not dwell on the storm but I guess is more like we will always refer to 2020 as the year of the Covid-Lockdowns and things that happen this year will forever have that stamp so things that happened in 2005 in New Orleans will always be associated with Katrina.
With an engaging cast of characters lead by Mira Gallier, a stain glass artist you will be swallowed up by this book. It ties in the police force, the arts world, the world of New Orleans and Mardi Gras royalty and the Catholic church with a prominent part given to Mary Magdalene and her story. It was one of those books that kept me guessing until the end and I did not want to put the book down until I got there.
