Rating: 4 out of 5

The author deftly ties together meteorology and a crime mystery in a story that has many peaks.  This is the first time I've read a book that has multiple plot peaks.  First, we go through Hurricane Katrina as viewed by Corbin and Shay and this is well done and very intense.  After the hurricane, we follow the couple as they settle into a precarious relationship punctuated by interactions with her parents and the occasional murder.  Then, the confrontation with the murderer and hurricane Rita.All through the book is social commentary about the response to Katrina, how the rich business moguls manipulate people and reactions, and a lot of political commentary.Overall, the book was enjoyable and satisfying.  There were a for times when I lost interest but kept reading knowing that something would bring the story back on track.
