He's the author of twelve novels, four cookbooks, many short stories, and Murder Etouffee, a book that defies classification.

    I have enjoyed all of he books in the French Quarter Mystery series with Wyatt Thomas. Mr. Wilder does a great job weaving many layers of characters and culture into his stories. The main character is the city of New Orleans and I love that I’m transported to many of my favorite parts of the Quarter when I read these books. The only thing I didn’t love was the Eddie Toledo part of the story. I would’ve enjoyed it more if it wound together with Wyatt’s part, but it didn’t at all. While interesting, it felt like filler. Still, I definitely recommend this book and the whole series. Very enjoyable. On a side note, I’d love to know which bar is the inspiration for Bertrum’s Bar on Chartres.

    This is the first book I have read by Eric Wilder. I have been wanting to read this series for a while. I love New Orleans, especially the abundant history that can be learned during a guided tour of the cemeteries. The author did a great job with the setting and the characters. I actually felt as if I was back in the Big Easy with the characters. It took time for me to read the book because I am a chicken, afraid of things that go bump in the night, so I started reading long before my bedtime. It was a great story and one I discovered I could read in the night.

    What I liked most about this book were the mystery and suspense. I was disappointed each time I had to stop reading. The best part is the mystery and suspense last all the way until the end. The only part of the story I rushed past was the treasure hunt. I have to admit, I did not find those characters as interesting and entertaining. All I wanted to do was stay with Wyatt, Adela, Taj, and Mama. I even enjoyed the time travel and the characters there. Some of the words shocked me because I was not expecting them, but when put in the context of the historical time, the shock wore off.

    Although I started at the end of the series, the story was complete. I never felt I was missing anything. I will definitely read more in this series.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2021

    I had a really hard time fully getting into and staying into this book. I could easily put it down and get sidetracked on other things, and that's very unusual when I've got a book in my hand...especially most of Eric's. The whole Eddie story was a little confusing and over the top to me, I didn't see much benefit yet. However I'm hoping it leads either to a book of it's own or even a new series. All of the characters were likable except Aleda/Aisling her personality kept changing and just made her really unlikable. Anyway none of this was a real deal break because I'm off to read the next. Later friends ✌
