The Axeman's Jazz
Ratings13
Average rating3.4
What do a cop, a corrupt ex cop now working for the Mafia and a female Pinkerton Detective have in common? They are all trying to find the notorious axe murderer in New Orleans.
So New Orleans 1919 and there’s a serial killer on loose, sign me up, sounds great!
But I don’t really get into it, it’s too slow, nothing really at stake. No suspense and no thrills. Another book that makes me go meh, has such a promise though. Feels like a book I will forget I ever read before the year is over.
I did like the characters but I think they could have popped more, if the axeman gets them… oh well.
Wait, what? It was THE Louis Armstrong? Why?!

So I gave in and finished it but I don't really know why tbh. Like I said we're following to many perspectives and I found myself not caring for any of them. So yeah all in all I'm just really disappointed by this. I really wanted to love this. It had so much rooting for it but for me it just didn't deliver. 😔
