Skip Langdon #7
Crescent City Kill
As the rich novels of Julie Smith remind us, New Orleans is a city of excess. These days the local philosophy that too much is not enough seems to encompass not only the famed Crescent City pleasures of sex, music, and food, but also the escalating horror of violent death.
However, with a new, honest police superintendent, NOPD detective Skip Langdon feels there's hope for the city she loves. But no sooner does Superintendent Albert Good take office than he is gunned down by an assassin, and within hours the killer himself is killed. A mysterious entity calling itself The Jury claims credit for this act of vigilante justice.
Who or what is The Jury? No one knows, but Skip perceives in it the evil brilliance of her old adversary, charismatic con man and cold-blooded killer Errol Jacomine. She's always suspected it's just a matter of time before Jacomine's megalomaniacal ego orchestrates his revenge.
The time is now.
From across the South, the players in the unfolding drama come together--a pretty college student on the run, a monk who has packed a lifetime's worth of misery into a few years, and a madman with a murderous agenda.
Beautiful New Orleans gathers them all into her casual embrace, while Detective Skip Langdon races (perhaps to her own destruction) to forestall the bloodshed to come.

This was one of my favorite authors for a long while. I don't recall why I stopped reading her books. I came back to this series, recently, after many, many years away. It was great to catch up with the tall, red-headed, woman detective, Skip Langdon, though I did not remember all the changes in her life. She has a significant other in her life now, Steve, which I only vaguely remember, and I certainly don't remember them being as close as they are now.
I decided to read this book, as she tangles again with an old nemesis - Errol Jacomine. This guy is a real piece of work - very dangerous, evil, cruel and just plain crazy (or at least, delusional by most standards). This was a very intriguing and intense book. Very complicated, but still, relatively easy to follow. The story just twists, turns and builds so much so that it was very hard to put down. I only put it down because of the Thanksgiving holiday.
I was so excited to pick it up again, only to find, after all the tension, suspense and danger, Skip's old nemesis escapes, again. I'm also not quite happy with the explanation of his escape; it was alluded to earlier in the book, but I don't recall that it was ever fully explained. (Maybe this was my faulty memory.)
I guess I was expecting resolution after all this time, only to be disappointed. I'I sure Skip and Jacomine will meet again. (After all, they have tangled a few times already.) I'm not sure I'll want to read the tangle yet again, without a more satisfactory conclusion.

This book is my introduction to Skip Langdon although it is Julie Smith's 7th novel in the series. The author refers back to previous events often enough, with brief and concise comments, so I easily kept pace with the plot. Her writing is crisp and her characters tend to jump off the page 3-D fashion. The action led without pause into more action, scenes boiling with tension.
The style of presentation had a unique touch with several plotlines sans main protagonist outlined and built upon until the lines inevitably converged and built to a logical climax.
Having already been in possession of the first books in the series, and now owning the complete Skip Langdon set to date, my TBR list has plenty of great choices for my summer reading enjoyment. Beach, here I come.

I have read plenty of novels in a series, with one main lead character and of course the same supporting characters; that's fine, they almost always have different stories with different villains and are self-contained enough that if you haven't read the novel before (or don't remember it well) you're still ok. I do not, however, care for novels that use the same villain and are written with little or no closure because the author wants to return to the same bad guy. Same city, same cast of characters all the way through, boring... Arthur Conan Doyle could do it with Sherlock and Dr. Moriarty but Julie Smith is no Conan Doyle. Unfortunately, her stories are just good enough that I do want to know when the bad guy (in this case, the almost unbelievably evil Errol Jacomine) is caught. I would not pay two cents for the next book - thank goodness for libraries. If he isn't caught in the next one, I'll give up on her.

While this was a fascinating look at some really interesting characters, for me it was ruined by the presence once again of Skip's lunatic nemesis Errol Jacomine. I was hopeful that the massive confrontation that concludes the book would mean his end, I was disappointed that he escaped again. How can such an unhinged violent individual inspire a constant supply of followers? How can a delusional maniac plan clever escapes again and again, even as more and more forces of law and order become involved in the hunt?
Honestly, knowing I'd have to experience Jacomine's hatefulness often kept me from picking up the book to continue reading. I love Skip, Steve, Jimmy Dee, Cindy Lou and the many characters who pass through the series. I just think it's possible to have an interesting plot without a megalomaniac "Mastermind" to oppose Skip.

Skip is getting back to normal after her shooting of a suspect and now finds herself back in confrontation with her old enemy Errol Jacomine who has reappeared as a self appointed judge, jury and executioner of miscreants whom the courts have found not guilty. It begins when Errol Jacomine has his son kidnap his daughter from college, She gets away and heads to New Orleans to find her Uncle. Another kidnaping brings in the FBI and Sip finds herself in the middle and also the target of Jacomine herself. Action with a New Orleans flavor keeps this tale moving along.

Enjoyed this book. So glad I took a chance and picked up Julie Smith. Found her in a thrift shop. Publish date 1997, # 7 in the Skip Langdon series. Skip is a detective with the New Orleans Police.
Langdon fears her old enemy has returned to cause trouble. Her fears are answered when he abducts a 6 year old girl.

This is better than your typical murder/suspense thriller. I liked the strong focus on some of the secondary characters, and I especially liked that the author did not have the reader experience everything that happened through the main character's eyes. I didn't like the idea that the main villain keeps getting away to cause chaos in the next book in the series. Please, let the 'good gal' win the day and find a new villain for the next book!

New Orleans, LA. Detective Skip Langdon (f, NOPD homicide) watched as Danny LaSalle shot Herbert (nephew).
Steve Steinman (lover), & Skip were watching the TV news flash: Billy Ray Hutchison (A/A, husband, football player) was gunned down.
He had murdered a woman.
Woody, & Candy (17), had picked Lovelace Jacomine (20, narrator, daughter/sister, Michelle’s roommate, Errol's granddaughter, NWU soph college student, roommate) hitchhiking.
NOPD. Asst. Chief Albert Goodlett (superintendent) called the AM meeting to order.
Those in attendance were: Corinne (Homicide secretary), Detective Langdon, Sergeant Sylvia Cappello, DeFusco (m), Jerry Boudreaux, Charlie Dilzell, & Sergeant Adam Abasolo.
What was Rosemarie Owens (grandma) telling Daniel Jacomine (husband/father, son/brother)?
What is Reverend Errol Jacomine (father) plans?
Warning: This book contains extremely graphic adult content, violence, or expletive language (N word; jungle bunny) &/or uncensored sexually explicit material which is only suitable for mature readers. It may be offensive or have potential adverse psychological effects on the reader.

A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written murder mystery book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a huge set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great murder mystery movie, or better yet a mini TV series. To be continued. There is no doubt in my mind this is a very easy rating of 5 stars.

This book had been on my to-read shelf for a while. I decided to read it on a flight back from a short visit to New Orleans, and I'm very glad I finally did get around to it.
Crescent City Connection is a suspenseful and entertaining crime novel with a large cast of interesting and sometimes colorful characters. The protagonist, New Orleans Police Detective Skip Langdon, is an intelligent, brave, and resourceful cop, but she's also vulnerable and caring. Her nemesis, Earl Jacomine, with whom she has a history, is narcissistic, cold, and manipulative. Although his agenda is big and ambitious, it also includes a personal vendetta against Langdon.
I liked how author Julie Smith advances the plot through multiple strands focusing on different characters. It's a very effective method of giving the reader insights into the personal characteristics and motivations of several characters beyond the primary antagonists, Langdon and Jacomine. At first, it's not very clear how these strands are related, but Smith gradually weaves them together into a powerful conclusion.
This was my first exposure to the world of Skip Langdon, but I'm looking forward to revisiting it soon and reading more of the books in the series.

Another Suspenseful Skip Langdon Mystery
Even with her foibles and flaws, Skip Langdon is a great mystery action character. Another run in with Errol Jacomine involves some new characters from Errol's family. Lovelace is his granddaughter and Isaac is his son also known as the White Monk.
Errol wants Skip dead and is not above using his granddaughter or the young daughter of a man Skip had shot and killed while investigating in as previous story. The lengths he goes to in his quest are devious and disturbing. He's also the leader of a violent religious cult and a ruthless killer.
The book is full of action and sub-plots add I h to the interest. The ending is especially tense for Skip and while she accomplished what she immediately needed to do there are loose ends that will surface in another book.

I first read a SKIP LANGDON mystery after a trip to New Orleans... oh . . . 16 years ago, I think. Great to dip into another one.
Julie Smith really brings the NEW Orleans atmosphere to life. Her character of homicide detective Langdon is not like the flip private eye of the Sue Grafton novels - Langdon has to deal with political, jurisdictional and bureaucratic hurdles to "get her perp". While there is ample humour in the novels, these are more serious crime procedurals. For me, constant wise-cracking can wear me out so I appreciate a more muted approach.
Ultimately, a very brisk and assured ventertainment. (And it was a free Kindle e-book ... even better. The others in the series are at bargain rates and I intend on picking them up.)

Skip Langdon is a complicated woman -- with personal insecurities and professional problems too. She's a New Orleans Police Dept homicide detective. Many new characters were introduced in the first quarter of the book but then the main theme emerged: Skip vs her old nemeses Errol Jacomine. He's a minister turned politician, a power-hungry man, an accused murderer.
I like Skip and her circle of friends. She is complicated but tries to do her job to "serve and protect" even when her tactics are often outside the box. She loves her hometown, New Orleans, the pulse, music, food, and even its problems.

Ut oh! Another Fantastic Writer!!
This is the 1st of Julie Smith's writings I've read. It is just WONDERFUL! Boy, can this woman weave a great tale!! No spoiler alert, but the ending was quite different from any other books like this that I've read, & I mean that in a very good way. I'm going to have to decide between cleaning my house, or reading her books -- & since I'm retired, reading her books wins!! You'll see...

I am rereading the series. I think I can see why I stopped reading these after a while. I enjoyed the earlier books that had a different theme with each book but now we are on the Jacomine storyline for the third book? I actually found myself less interested. The author is usually brilliant in describing all of the characters in the orbit of the theme and that happens with this one too. It just doesn’t interest me to read about a crackpot cult over and over again.

Really?...God's work?
The Jury haunts Skip claiming to right wrongs that the police can't. After shooting Dorise's husband, She finds herself enmeshed in the tangled vigilante twisted justice. Self-proclaimed Reverend and his loyal followers mete out their own version of justice as the police tried desperately to capture the leader. Dorise's daughter is hostage as Reverend wants an exchange - his granddaughter for Dorise's daughter.
And it looks like this won't end well.

Joined this series at book.7 so took some time to adjust to the style. Disappointed that we will.need to.deal.with the criminal again in future books. Fascinating how characters Introduced in early chapters meet and engage as.the plot progresses. Have read other books by this author and admire her style.

A Terrific Story Line And Plot
Sometimes You Feel Like A Nut, Sometimes You Don't as the jingle goes...if you do, this is right up your alley. I fear some of its characters are depictions of the real thing! That is a scary thought! But, I try to stay away from politicians as much as possible. On a more serious note, read this one and enjoy the certifiably nuts detective.

Ms. Smith writes eloquently of New Orleans and populates her novels with interesting characters doing a variety of not-so-nice things. She has apparently been suffering from the Murdoch Mysteries Syndrome, requiring an ongoing evil genius type as a foil for her likable hero, Skip Langdon. I was in it up until the bad guy got away in a summarized explanation. Absolutely disappointing.

Nice to read a good, tense detective novel where the focus isn't the romantic relationship for once! A good hearted, flawed set or characters who all stand out, apth9ugh the ending was a little pat for my liking. Still happy to read another in the series if I should come across it.

Never a dull moment
Great crime novel with insight into the psychology of cults, families, law enforcement, OCD, and life. But it is not a "psychological thriller.". Very nice blend of action and emotion. Looking forward to reading more of her novels.

I love these stories
Even the slightly improbable is believable in the Skip Langdon series. These are so well written, and thought out, and the characters just seem natural, even the crazy ones, I recommend these books highly.

I always enjoy the Skip Langdon books. It is always an action packed adventure with many interesting characters. Hang on until the last paragraph because it will always end with a surprise. Enjoy!

Tired storyline with decent characters
The plot was an old one. Religious fanatic turned avenger, tough female cop with a partial death wish, and innocents drawn into intrigue. The story had a chance to go deeper but stayed on the fringes. It wrapped up to easily.

Another great addition to the Skip Langdon series. These books make you feel like you are there, you can just imagine the people and how they look and how they interact with each other. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

The Brave Cop
The book was satisfactory it could have been better. I have read a couple of her books and found it to be okay. I will still read your books Ms Smith
because you are a fine writer.

The saving grace was that it’s set in New Orleans. It was a bit of an unbelievable story with an unsatisfying ending. Starts out as a murdering reverend is out to serve own justice along with getting at the detective who has been his bane.
