Retired exotic dancer, Maggie "The Mouth" Moreau, stumbles across a forgotten tunnel beneath the French Quarter. While exploring, she doesn't expect to find her own name in a decades-old journal. With the help of Lawrence, a ghost hunter with a shaky flashlight and a stiff drink, Maggie uncovers a hidden war beneath the city's cobblestones. An ancient force is waking, and it remembers her.
Whispers in the Quarter gives Nancy Drew vibes - if Nancy Drew were a 72-year-old retired stripper with a foul mouth and a penchant for sarcasm. Amanda Johnson writes haunted things, clever women, and mysteries that smell like wet stone and bourbon. This is her debut in the Maggie & Lawrence series.
