"This is my first introduction to Detective Dave Robicheaux and New Iberia, LA. I really, really enjoyed James Lee Burke's writing, characters and plot development. Robicheaux and the inhabitants of New Iberia are coming to my kindle!"
"James Lee Burke is one of those writers that I never tire of. He has great, gritty characters in gritty transforming situations. Add murder, mystery, love and you've got it all."
"I really enjoyed how Burke can paint a very clear, sometimes, odd or off, picture of the area you are entering in the book, or how the people are looking or acting with 3 words or short descriptions."
"I thought this was one of the best Burke/Dave Robicheaux novels until I got to towards the end and it seemed almost as though Burke wanted to quickly wrap it up.
If you know the drill, each time Dave's on a case it pans out like a Shakespearean tragedy -- thrilling and dramatic with a cast of extraordinary characters. But in this one, some characters were inexplicably pushed to the margins as Burke dived deeper into plotting complexity.
But then reading Burke is a Zen like experience because it's all about fiction in the moment -- and the plots, good as they are, aren't really the main deal. It's always an Odyssey, a journey into the social underbelly that can never be tamed -- only regulated through violence which is at once both brutal and liberating."
