Praise for David Fulmer's Mysteries

"Fulmer brings alive this earlier time with descriptions so lively one can hear the music's wildness and the crowd's bustle."—The Baltimore Sun

"The best part . . . is the writing, the see-it, feel-it, touch-it style that Fulmer uses to wonderful effect. . . . It's a wonderful rendition of a particular world as a very distinctive time."--The Times-Picayune (New Orleans)
