I won this through the Goodreads First Reads program.
I really like the setting of the book - a behind the scenes view of pre-Katrina French Quarter, New Orleans. It seems very much like a place that I would love to visit. And though I've never made it to New Orleans, everything matches what friends who lived in the city prior to Katrina have described to me.

I won a copy of this book from Goodreads first reads. NO Quarter is a murder mystery set in the Quarter of pre Katrina New Orleans . This book is written as chapters which alternate between the point of view of the two main characters Bones and Maestro. I found that reading the same bit of action from two points of views bogged down the story. However seeing the Quarter bar scene from the point of view of the residents rather than tourists was interesting.
