I like the sound of the main character.

It surely sounds intriguing; I don't really mind slow starts to books if it eventually picks up and allows me time to really grow accustomed to the characters and get addicted to the plot. Would you recommend I start reading Neill's books with this one or her other works?

The first books tend to be a bit slower. To be honest, the setting alone is enough to intrigue me, I have so much love for New Orleans and every book that takes place there is something I have to read. Neil deserves some credit, which means I can be patient enough and tolerate a slower beginning.
