Floodgates

A Faye Longchamp Mystery

By: Mary Anna Evans

Narrated by: Cassandra Campbell

In New Orleans, the intersection between the past and the present is all too often deadly. Archaeologist Faye Longchamp and her excavating team are horrified when a corpse surfaces that's far too new to be an archaeological find. Faye and her fiancé, Joe Wolf Mantooth, are drawn into the investigation by a detective who believes their professional expertise is critical to the case. They quickly learn that trouble swirled around the victim, Shelly Broussard, like winds around the still, quiet eye of a hurricane. Is Shelly's heroic rescue work in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina the key to her death? Or does the sheaf of photos in her work files hold the answer?©2009 Mary Anna Evans (P)2009 Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Critic reviews

"Evans's fifth is an exciting brew of mystery and romance with a touch of New Orleans charm." ( Kirkus Reviews)
"Engaging....Passages from a book about the Katrina disaster by a local author and extracts from the memoirs of a 19th-century military engineer provide insights and historical perspective. Faye's landlady, a part-time voodoo-mambo or priestess, adds spice." - ( Publishers Weekly)

New Orleans explained

What I love most about these books is how each one takes us to a different area of Southern USA. The history is entwined with the story happening in the 22st Century. I don’t think anyone in the world missed hearing about the devastation of Hurricane Katrina and this book really brought home the horror. Of course Faye and Joe continue their story and Faye learns more about her heritage. I am addicted to this series

A+++

This is a great series. Faye and the rest of the characters are very likable and intersting. The plot is believable and quickly paced. I would recommend this series to anyone.

Totally enjoyable series

Each of the books in this series has further developed the characters, and dealt with interesting history of different parts of the south. Totally recommend !

Live this series!

I just want to say I am rooting for joe. I really like the character building in these books, more and more is revealed in each book. I have a hard time to put the “book” down as I can’t wait to see the reveal of the whodunnit . I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Faye and Joe next.

easy listening

I have become hook on Fay's and Joe's adventures. The reader voice is pleasant and smooth. The mix races of all the characters even the ones that come and go is what building America was. wanting more dealing with the native dig sites.
