Claire Dewitt and the city of the dead

Claire Dewitt and the city of the dead by Sara Gran 273 pgs.

Claire Dewitt is the worlds greatest private eye...at least that is what she will tell you.  She started as a teen and feels like the good PI's are called to it and are "naturals".  She is a devoted follower of Jacques Silette who wrote a handbook that reveals more mysteries than it solves. Claire is in New Orleans trying to find out what happened to Leon's uncle Vic who disappeared in the hurricane.  Vic was an assistant DA in a city whose justice system is a bit messed up from the bottom to the top.  Claire is haunted by many things in her past but is able to make strides on the case.  Her original suspect Andray is a kid with nothing to lose and yet they become friendly and respect each other.  This is different than any other mystery I've read.  The idea that the clues are in front of you and you must allow yourself to see them is interesting.  I am looking forward to the next in this series.
