Empire of Sin: A Story of Sex, Jazz, Murder, and the Battle for Modern New Orleans

Lively. Any reader who recognizes how lively a place New Orleans has been during our own lifetimes will discover that even more excitement was in that place at the turn of the twentieth century after reading Gary Krist’s fine account of that period titled, Empire of Sin: A Story of Sex, Jazz, Murder, and the Battle for Modern New Orleans. Krist immerses readers into a world of corruption using vivid details to bring that era to life. The characters Krist offers to readers reveal the full range of human behavior, and I found myself engrossed in their exciting lives. Rating: Four-star (I like it) Click here to purchase Empire of Sin from amazon.com.
