Hambly, Barbara Die Upon a Kiss
April 30, 2002 0-553-58165-1 / 9780553581652 Mass Market Pa used; excellent
The opening in New Orleans in 1835 of a new opera company propels Hambly'sfifth atmospheric historical mystery (after 2000's Sold Down the River) featuring freed slave Benjamin January. As with the other entries in this popular series, the background is a hook on which Hambly hangs her main theme the conflicts of a society based on race, sex and class. A widowed, European-trained surgeon who makes his living as a piano player and teacher, January is in the orchestra of an Italian opera company backed by the "Americans"who are moving south into New Orleans and threatening the power of the Creoles those of French and Spanish heritage in a city still French three decades after the Louisiana Purchase. When two members of the company are attacked and a backer murdered, January and his colleague, the erudite, consumptive, white violinist Hannibal Sefton, help their friend Abishag Shaw, the wily Kentuckian of the New Orleans City Guards, to investigate. The BenjaminJanuary series is well worth reading for the depth and richness of the author's historical research and her exquisite evocation of the Byzantine class structure, exotic culture and menacing politics of antebellum New Orleans.

Hambly, Barbara Sold Down the River
May 29, 2001 0-553-57529-5 / 9780553575293 Mass Market Pa used; excellent
The darkest time in American history comes alive in Hambley's unforgettableseries of mysteries, of which this is the fourth, after Graveyard Dust. In1835 New Orleans, Benjamin January is a Paris-educated surgeon and musician, but he's also a former slave. Along with white American policeman Abishag Shaw, Ben is asked to help out on an investigation into possible sabotageand murder at a sugar plantation up the river from the city. The catch isthat the person asking is his former owner, the thoroughly evil Simon Fourchet. Ben must go to Fourchet's plantation, Mon Triomphe, and work undercover as a slave, chopping the sugarcane in the fields. Ben agrees to take on the dreadful job because he knows that if the "hoodoo" isn't found quickly,the lives and well-being of many slaves will be in jeopardy. Already, "lesblankittes" (the whites) believe a slave revolt is brewing on the plantation, and their punishment of the slaves will surely be terrible if more incidents occur. In order to learn the truth, Ben has to undergo all the appalling and humiliating experiences that the plantation slaves routinely endure.Hambly's fiercely burning picture of the horrors of slavery inevitably overwhelms the specifics of the plot, but she evokes the period marvelously, piling detail upon detail to create a finely wrought portrait of the daily lives of slaves on the notorious Louisiana sugar plantations. And her mastery of the slave songs, the backbreaking labor of the harvest, the African-French-Creole culture and the medicine (both traditional and voodoo) is astonishing.

Hambly, Barbara Wet Grave
April 29, 2003 0-553-58159-7 / 9780553581591 Mass Market Pa used; excellent
After an excruciatingly slow start, Hambly's sixth novel featuring BenjaminJanuary (after 2001's Die Upon a Kiss) builds to hurricane force as the former slave and Creole surgeon looks into the murder of a drunken whore whomno one seems to care about. Despite his education and musical and medicalaccomplishments, January is only a short, catastrophic step up from bottomin the oddly stratified society of 1830s New Orleans. January proceeds as carefully with his investigation as he does with his wooing of Rose Vitrac,whose traumatic past he only partially knows and understands. Only when another murder strikes much closer to January's home and heart does the pace quicken. To a desire for vengeance is added a thirst for justice. Still cautious, but steeled by anger, January goes on a search that will lead beyondthe fetid city into the surrounding bayous, swamps and islands.
