4,3 4,3 su 5 stelle 533 voti

"Forget about it, Wyatt. It's the Big Easy."

Step into the sultry streets of New Orleans and enter a world of voodoo, mystery, and murder in this gripping crime thriller. N.O.P.D. homicide detective Tony Nicosia faces the biggest challenge of his career: a sadistic killer who revels in the ritualistic murder of his victims. With voodoo as the only link, Tony turns to French Quarter private investigator Wyatt Thomas and voodoo mambo Mama Mulate, to unravel the mystery and bring the killer to justice.

As Tony and Mama delve deeper into the world of voodoo, they discover a shocking truth: the killer is none other than a former U.S. senator and a prominent member of New Orleans’ high society. With the clock ticking and the stakes higher than ever, Tony must navigate the treacherous waters of local politics and corruption to stop the killer before it is too late.

Meanwhile, Wyatt and Mama are hired by a wealthy patron to locate his mother’s grave, leading them on a dangerous journey through the city’s underbelly. Wyatt’s client’s attractive daughter Celeste, enamors him, further complicating the situation. As the tension builds to a heart-stopping climax, Wyatt finds himself in the crosshairs of two N.O.P.D. officers determined to take down the voodoo killer, even if it means sacrificing innocent lives.

Will Wyatt survive, and will Tony and his team solve the case before the killer strikes again? Find out in this riveting crime thriller set in the Big Easy.

4,0 su 5 stelle Voodoo Meets Crimefighters
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 27 ottobre 2014
This is the first book of Eric's that I've read, and it certainly won't be the last. His style of writing pulls you right in to the story and you can almost imagine yourself on the streets of New Orleans. It centres around a private detective, a Voodoo priestess & 2 police detectives. I also love the way he has several sub-plots going on.

It kept me hooked from start to finish. I don't normally go for crime novels, but Eric has changed my mind. Can't wait to read another.

5,0 su 5 stelle Big Easy voodoo murders
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 27 gennaio 2011
Although I don't normally read police/murder mysteries, I thoroughly enjoyed Big Easy. The book takes place in post-Katrina New Orleans, such a unique city, and someone is murdering street people in the French Quarter. Detective Tony Nicosia is assigned to solve these homicides. The killer has left grisly clues that indicate these deaths have a connection with voodoo, and all are strangely connected to a nearby mission. Unschooled in voodoo, Nicosia enlists the help of Wyatt Thomas and Mama Mulate, a powerful voodoo mambo, to help stop this deranged killer or killers. The story progresses through several unexpected twists and turns, especially towards the end of the book.

Eric Wilder writes in a concise, easy-to-read manner that gives the reader just enough details to make the story enjoyable. I liked the way he wove the story around real restaurants/bars in the French Quarter and nearby areas. He apparently is very familiar with New Orleans and its culture, and did quite a bit of research on voodoo. I liked everything about the book, including the cover depicting the tomb of Marie Laveau, the most famous voodoo queen. Having everything that could translate into a good movie, I could easily see this book being adapted to a film version.

3,0 su 5 stelle Not a series for me
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 19 novembre 2016
I love books about New Orleans and the whole voodoo mythos but this just didn't work for me and I found myself skim reading. It's not badly written but I couldn't connect with the characters.

4,0 su 5 stelle Laissez bon temps rouler - Let the good times roll!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 26 marzo 2015
This is the first time I'm leaving a review and was asked questions beforehand. I answered those questions compared to other novels I've read, so if anyone doesn't agree, this is why.

Now on to the review!

I purchased this novel after I saw a couple of tweets about it on Twitter. Being my family is from Louisiana, and some from New Orleans, I jumped on it like a beignet laid hot and sweet on a plate! I knew this was risky, as I didn't know the author and I had trouble liking some indie books I've purchased. Turns out this is a book to keep in my Kindle library to enjoy again at another time.

There are good characters in this book. Wyatt and Mama Mulatte (sp?) are two of them, but there's more. From someone who's spent time in the French Quarters of New Orleans, I feel that the author was spot on with his description, the novel's ambience and some of the vernacular cracked me up with laughter, making me feel like I was home!

A murder has taken place and two detectives are searching for the killer. It leads them to Wyatt and into the realm of Voodoo (lightly), and anyone from home know that Voodoo is just as synonymous to New Orleans as jazz, Bourbon Street and a good bowl of gumbo. I loved the subplot! I'm not giving away any spoilers, but I think many of the readers would enjoy it, too. Things get a little hot and steamy and the plot does thicken. Will the detectives survive this case? Has Wyatt and Mama Mulatte gotten in too deep? You won't hear the answers from me. You have to read it to find out.

As always here's what I liked most about this book. The plot! This isn't one of those stories where you knew what's coming before you get close enough. The suspense and tension causes you to turn the page. We're talking straight out survival mode and a few of the characters are conjuring spells to ensure they stay alive. But people are still dying and two detectives must realize that sometimes you have to pay attention to things even if you don't want to believe in the supernatural. Especially when you're surrounded by one or more people who may want to do you harm. Do you trust your gut or do you listen to the voodoo mambo and what she has to say?

The pace of this novel was great. I read it in two sittings and hated when the story ended. The good thing is this author has more books to follow up behind this one. Yay! No waiting, except for the time it takes to download to my Kindle.

Awesome job, Mr. Wilder, because this was indeed a story worth telling and reading.

5,0 su 5 stelle Big Easy, A Review
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 2 settembre 2015
I read the sample of this book about a year ago and was put off by the brutal opening and set it down. Since then, I've read many indie ebooks, and had run out of books and authors who grabbed me right away. I had read Eric Wilder's two sequels to Big Easy and found them brilliant, so I decided to give Big Easy another try. After I got through the first chapter, I found the groove again and finished Big Easy in two nights. I found it a real page turner and enjoyed it immensely. There were a lot of typos in this book that I don't remember from the next two, and I was considering giving it 4 stars because of that. But by the time I reached the end, I found the story telling so good, I had to give it 5 stars. Mr. Wilder is a brilliant story teller. There was much criticism of his need fpr proof reading and an editor for this book, but I have seen far, far worse from traditional publishing. And for 99 cents, I don't think you could get better reading value. Editing is expensive. If you want better editing, stand behind indie authors. Buy their books. Review the story, not the typos. And be prepared to pay a lot more.
