Mad Madame Lalaurie

Sarah Agterhuis

I am extremely intrigued by the story of the LaLaurie Family and Mansion in the French Quarter, New Orleans. So when this book came out I was extremely excited. Unfortunately it didn't quite hit the mark for me. 

While it is a great historical account of the known facts, the storytelling and structure isn't very strong and I found it a struggle to get through. 

That said, if you are interested in the history it is a treasure trove of historical accounts and the background of the story, which I haven't found anywhere else.
