Author / illustrator Rick Geary doesn't try to solve this case, but instead lays out the confusing, horrible facts. He illustrates strictly in black-and-white drawings, using basic but effective facial expressions and lots of straight lines in his buildings and rooms. His small panel drawings are very good, but in two instances - a swamp and Mardi Gras - his drawings are hard to interpret, largely because of the lack of color. Irritatingly, he provided a map of New Orleans with axes plunged in the crime sites but fails to make clear which attack took place at which site. ( )
