I am so glad I read these in a row. Book 1, 2, and 3. The characters are so real, they feel like friends and enemies. I learned not to mess with voodoo, don't go to French Quarter late at night, and don't tick off Nick. I enjoyed all three of the books and recommend them to all mystery lovers.
What a collection of suspenseful stories. The characters and the plot just outstanding. Impossible to stop after one story. Totally gripping.
Judith Lucci, Crescent City Chronicles - I like that there's an overview for all three books, so the reader knows what the book is about before reading it. I received this set from a website giving away free thrillers. 5*Judith Lucci, Chaos at Crescent City Medical Center #1 - Full of intrigue. A well written, fast paced suspense novel with developed characters and a thought out plot. This is my first book by the author and I'm happy with the substance and intrigue that's thorough out the story....
Chaos is well written with colorful characters. Suspense and tension keeps you on the edge of your seat. New Orleans, Mardi Gras and voodoo. What more could you ask for? This is a must read!Imposter is highly intriguing. There is a psycho on the loose in New Orleans. There has been a gruesome murder in the French Quarter. A nurse has been attacked after she finished her shift at the Psych Ward at a major hospital. An elderly patient is assaulted and killed. Who is responsible? Could it be a psyc...
One of the key points that makes a top thriller stand out from the run of the mill crime and intrigue books is the attention to detail. This means either an author has done a huge amount of research or, if we are really lucky as readers, the author is an expert in the subject about which they are writing. The latter, which always makes for much better, more authentic tales, is what the ‘Crescent City Chronicles’ boxset has in spades. Author Judith Lucci has an impressive background as a medical

I have been a fan of Judith Lucci's books for years. I love that she writes about two locations that I know and love - Virginia around Richmond and New Orleans. I love that her background as a doctorate in nursing means that she can explain the politics, both internal and external, that hospitals have to deal with. Her plot lines are also intriguing (and somewhat worrisome in that Lucci bases her plots on facts). I always set aside a whole day for reading when I open one of Lucci's novels and pu...
Judith Lucci has a winning combination in this series- the world of a top-notch hospital and a murderer on the loose. A taut, fast paced series, the books are stand alone stories but linked by the main characters. Alex is a nurse who is now the hospital's lawyer, hence understands the full ramifications of what is happening. Each book is very interesting, and cannot be put down easily... i read each of them in one sitting. An absolute must read series.
Review of Viral IntentThis is a review of the third book in this series. Reviews of the first 2 books were done separately. A very chilling, scary book about Jihadists that are killing people with a deadly virus. Juduth's books not only are very scary but they make the reader really think about things that can really happen. Excellently written. Once I start reading, I can't seem to put it down until I am finished!
Great! thrilling set of 3 books withgreat plots, each one different & more filled with scary blood & gore from the last! The characters are interesting, likeable & well developed! I had a hard time putting them down! All take place in the best hospital in New Orleans! Unusual plots with interesting twists & turns! I look forward to reading other books in the series! Best books I have read in ahiile!
Excellent bookset!Alex, legal counsel for CCMC, finds herself drawn, through 3 books, to murder and political mysteries, which include psychopaths, terrorists, and suspicious viruses. Judith Lucci is one of my favorite authors. Her books are always wonderful stories which keep you on the edge of your seat through unexpected twists and turns!
Some pretty good, some really badWriting not bad, a few typos. Very repetitive dialogue. Very dark and horrific one sentence, laughing and carefree the next. Nine tenths of the third book detailed and in depth no ending in story line time, just summarized in epilogue. Almost like cliff notes for the final 2 chapters. Not bad stories, just not polished
The first three of the Alexandra Destephano series are well plotted with characters you tend to like. Alex is a little more emotional than most lawyers/nurses I've met. The police chief is very much like Pete Marino in the Patricia Cornwell Kay Scarpetta novels. The stories are plausible but I thought there could have been a little better editing and proof reading.
Amazingly Intense TrilogyEach book is full of very real loveable good characters and truly evil bad characters. The main character goes through greater and greater confrontations and personal attacks. Through it all she overcomes and remains positive. Glad there were only three tales. My heart couldn't take any more.
This is a great series! You can tell Judith has done her research in writing this series. I was given this books for a honest review. I enjoyed reading these books and I look forward to reading more books by Judith!
Easy reading The characters were well developed and the plots were easy to follow. It was interesting reading about New Orleans. The author certainly gave them more than their share of troubles.
