Praise for

A Connecticut Yankee in Criminal Court

“An enjoyable tour of 1890’s New Orleans . . . Twain can take a bow for his performance. Heck takes a colorful city (New Orleans) and a colorful character (Mark Twain), adds a murder, a duel, some voodoo and period detail and conjures up an entertaining sequel to Death on the Mississippi.”

—Publishers Weekly

“A period charmer . . . Against the background of this famous city with its colorful mix of characters, cultures, food, music, and religion, the famous author and his loyal sidekick worm their way into the heart of a scandalous murder.”

—Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine

“Packed with casual racists, unregenerate Civil War veterans, superstitious rationalists, and poseurs of every stripe—exactly the sort of colorful cast that brings its satiric hero’s famous talent for unmasking pretension into brilliant relief.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“This Crescent City mystery simmers.”

—Booklist

“The second of Heck’s Mark Twain detective novels is a charming winner. Twain is as fabulous a personality in fiction as he was a real-life writer . . . A unique, intriguing reading experience.”

—Ed’s Internet Book Review

“Exciting.”
