I'd heard lots of good things about Les Edgerton from people whose opinion I respect. The first work of his I got, "Just Like That," was something I liked but didn't love. I found "The Perfect Crime" to be a much clearer signal of how Edgerton earned such a strong reputation in crime fiction. Plot, pacing, characters, and atmosphere (especially the insider's portrait of New Orleans) all came together in a highly satisfying way for me.
