Talba Wallis， hip and happening PI， a.k.a. the Baroness Pontalba， star of the New Orleans avant garde， was first introduced in Louisiana Hotshot and returns in this deft， well-written mystery about Babalu Maya， a "healer" who wants to know if her boyfriend is cheating on her. Shortly after Talba confirms her client s suspicions， Babalu dies of a heroin overdose the police are certain is a suicide. But both Talba and Jason， Babalu s contrite and confused boyfriend， find it such an improbable scenario that he hires Talba to find out what really happened. Unraveling the mystery takes the sassy sleuth with the attitude that s bigger than she is to the small Louisiana town where Babalu was born and to the prominent， influential family that turned its back on her a long time ago. While the plot isn t much more than a routine Southern gothic， the heroine is: Talba Wallis is a lively， engaging protagonist with family secrets of her own that are revealed in a secondary plot that s much more interesting than the primary one. Smith， the author of three other series， has a real winner in this one. --Jane Adams
