Less New Orleans, more psycho perversity. Skip gets to chase any number of red herrings before running this one to earth. Less New Orleans, but that which motivates a serial killer is bound up in hard-line southern perversity.
The boyfriend Skip acquired in the first book is back, I'm glad - he is a very likeable character and someday may actually manage to convince six-foot Skip that beautiful doesn't have to be dainty, delicate, and petite.
The plot revolves around the apparent resurrection of a serial killer of the period immediately following WWI. The Axeman was a jazz aficionado who went around killing people who were either ignoring or desecrating his notion of jazz by bashing them with a hatchet. The current killer is more into manual strangulation and has a terrifying method of selecting his victims.
