Praise for this book
The author writes about murder, mayhem, and metaphysics that lead down winding roads through old San Francisco, just before and culminating in the earthquake of 1906. It's a work of fiction set in a specific time in history. You wonder what will happen to McRae, who finds himself in truly unfamiliar territory, and other characters who are woven into the story. You'll spend a pleasant evening with this entertaining story.
Though not in the realm of reality, the story is crafted to pull the reader in. It’s not great literature, but the story is interesting and, at time, mischievous.
Kept me n the edge of my seat. Very different. I will read more of the MacRae mysteries if available.
