"I have dear friends and beloved relatives who love James Lee Burke's Robicheaux books but, though I am determined to perservere at least through Tin Roof Blowdown, I just can't catch the fever.
I am interested, though, in Robicheaux cypress house. Apparently there are those who advocate that the cypress shotgun houses in New Orleans's Lower Ninth Ward should be/should have been preserved because they are capable of withstanding floods and they contribute to the unique society of the Nine."
"any book by james lee burke featuring dave robicheaux is sure to be a good read. he has wonderful characters, sometimes recurring, and a great way of using language. this one gives us more of the background of young dave, and his troubled parents. there is a lot of action and mysteries to solve there in bayou land."
"Reading a James Lee Burke novel is like going to an annual party and seeing all your friends. First of all, of course, there's Dave Robicheaux, his lovely wife Bootsie Mouton, their spunky daughter Alafair, Batiste at the bait shop, the good old boy Sheriff, Dave's steadfast partner, Helen Soileau. And let's not forget Clete Purcell and the cast of dozens of south Louisiana's finest debutantes and their distinguished escorts. I loved it.
I did a little research on the train called the Sunset Limited. Sixty years ago, it left New Orleans every day just before noon and arrived in Los Angeles 48 hours later. Currently, Amtrak has a train of the same name with an identical schedule!"
