The Voodoo Child is an American young woman performing on stage in Germany. She is beautiful and everyone wants her Shelby Prevettee and her cousin, Zola, befriend her. They are in Berlin with Sarah Remley, an artist, and Beau LaHood, ex-Pullman Porter. It is winter of 1926 and Hitler is on the rise. He and the DNF are trying to obtain guns on the freighter, Pegasus. The ending is abrupt so I hope there will be a fourth book.
The book has a steady pace, the characters are developed, and it is written in third person. There are derogatory remarks about Blacks and Jews because of the times. The ending is confusing for me. I honestly do not know what happened. I liked the first two books in the series more than this. For me, it was too choppy with action jumping all over the place from one character to another quickly.
