By Walter M. Brasch
New Orleans is some-more than a French Quarter and Mardi Gras. More than what a people saw and examination during Hurricane Katrina.
In Kelly Jameson's latest book, a suspenseful psychological thriller, What Remained of Katrina, a opposite New Orleans appears. One that might be truer to a suggestion of a city.
During Hurricane Katrina, Katrina Williams Jones Thomas Jackson Miller, an artist who believes she's a re-creation of Van Gogh, was cumulative to a radiator by a malicious and sceptical fourth husband. To escape, she had to cut off her left hand.
It's a detriment of that palm that becomes an initial partial of a suspenseful poser a novel as Katrina watches her possess commemorative service, and afterwards searches for her ex-husband. She's a injured character, a hard-scrabbled impression to whom a whirly and a extinction had small effect. Because of that, What Remained of Katrina becomes a absolute story of a city's underclass, a one occasionally reported by a media, a one occasionally visited by tourists.
This is Jameson's third novel, and might be a best one yet.

Author Penelope Przekop says, "Kelly Jameson's What Remained of Katrina is strikingly scary in a honest, nonetheless oppressive description of extinction and loss. Through a characterization of her protagonist, Katrina, she manages to move a whirly to life. Jameson's voice is singular and her imagination impressive."
