"A stunning story of life in the South. The comparison and contrast of the people and the natural environment is revealing. The story is magnetic, I couldn't put it down. Its rich with alliterations. Whew."
"I did not enjoy this as much as my first Burke read, Pegasus. Perhaps if I knew more cop/gangster slang (or if a glossary were included), but I was mystified by whole chunks of dialogue. And the stream of perfect wives is beginning to grate..."
"i recommend all of James Lee Burke books. if you have never read him, i recommend doing the Rob. series in order but not necessary. they are beautifully written."
"As detective fiction goes, Burke's novels have been some of the best I've read. He has more literary lyricism than most other detective novelists, which helps add to the usuals to the plot devices."
