Author Riley does a first-rate job of steeping the reader in the milieu of South Louisiana and Cajun mores. From murders at mudbug fests to menacing mosquito swarms to monumentally malevolent snake pits, he puts the heat and humidly on every page. He‘s also adept at weaving a spider-webbed plot that is both intricate & credible. There‘s action, suspense, humor, and even a dash of romance in this gumbo of a novel.
