Goodreads beskrivning
It's 1950, and as the French Quarter of New
Orleans simmers with secrets, seventeen-year-old Josie Moraine is
silently stirring a pot of her own. Known among locals as the daughter
of a brothel prostitute, Josie wants more out of life than the Big Easy
has to offer. She devises a plan get out, but a mysterious death in the
Quarter leaves Josie tangled in an investigation that will challenge her
allegiance to her mother, her conscience, and Willie Woodley, the
brusque madam on Conti Street.
Josie is caught between the dream of an elite college and a clandestine underworld. New Orleans lures her in her quest for truth, dangling temptation at every turn, and escalating to the ultimate test.
With characters as captivating as those in her internationally bestselling novel Between Shades of Gray, Ruta Sepetys skillfully creates a rich story of secrets, lies, and the haunting reminder that decisions can shape our destiny.

Mina åsikter
Jag gillade majoriteten av karaktärerna som vi får möta i den här boken, däribland Josie, Patrick, Jesse, Cokie, Sadie, Willie och Charlie. Boken var mycket snabbläst och hade en intressant handling med en prostituerads dotter som huvudkaraktär. Boken var spännande och man ville hela tiden veta vad som komma skulle. När jag hade läst ut boken så kände jag dock att det fortfarande fanns en del obesvarade frågor som jag hade velat få svar på. Så slutet var alltså inte 100% tillfredsställande.
Mitt betyg
Boken får 4 av 5 stjärnor i betyg.
