It's not Always Murder - A John Evans mystery, #1

John is a purchasing agent with nothing to live for in Minneapolis in the year 2000. In 1945, he is dropped naked into a steamyNew Orleans shower. This is the bizarre reality our hero confronts. He becomes private investigator John Evans, armed with nothingbut his wit and a thirst for answers. John isn't just on a mission to survive the sweltering heat and jazz-soaked nights of the Big Easy. He quickly becomes entangled in a web ofintrigue tasked with solving a case as brutal as it is baffling.  But John is not just any gumshoe.
He is a man out of time grappling with the cultural clashes and historical oddities of a bygone era. His modern sensibilities clash with the ingrained prejudices of the past, forcing him to adapt and improvise in a world where futuristic kknowledge is both an advantage and a liability.  It's a story about reinvention, finding your place in a new world and cracking a case that transcends societal boundaries.  I was hooked within the first few lines.
A great novel with the echo of the 50s black and white detective films. Long live John Evans, which ever decade he's in. Oops, I may have given away parts of book two... Natacha Cohen SNRBS
