Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Detective Dave Robicheaux is pitted against all types, from an oil tycoon's deformed brother to a sexually indiscreet minister. With these colorful characters running rampant, narrator Will Patton never stumbles in his delivery or interpretations, offering realistic, entertaining characters who are sure to engage listeners right from the start. Patton's voice is perfectly suited for Burke's rough and tumble tale, his gritty Southern dialect sets the tone for this brooding murder mystery. A Simon & Schuster hardcover (Reviews, May 19). (July)

4.0étoiles sur 5 One Thing Leads to Another: Karma Creates Connections, Aoû 26 2008
This review is from: Swan Peak (Hardcover)

Consider Swan Peak a taut Dave Robicheaux thriller about bringing down the bad guys transferred from Katrina-depleted Louisiana to sparking Montana. Since Louisiana is usually the major character in this series' books, that shift cuts down the local color by one star.

Are there sleazy people in Montana? They seem to be everywhere that Dave and Clete Purcell look.

Dave and Molly have left Louisiana to recover from Katrina, and Clete has joined them. Naturally, it doesn't take much for Clete to begin stirring things up. In this case, a choice of campground begins an escalating conflict that no one seems to be able to or wants to avoid.

Pretty soon bodies are piling up around Dave and Clete, but it's not clear what the motives are. Both with and without encouragement, Dave begins investigating. That search draws them both into the business of the local, reclusive rich who want to drill for oil and gas and make lots of money through evangelism. It's an odd group of people, and the closer you look . . . the odder it gets.

In a related story line, a convict looks to do his time and get out . . . but a gun bull has other ideas.

The book's main weakness is that James Lee Burke often tells rather than shows what's going on. At times, you'll feel like you are in a lecture hall rather than reading an engrossing book.

As usual, the story has more slime in it than ten usual murder mysteries. But overcoming the slime is part of the appeal of this series so I'm sure you know what to expect.

This review is from: Swan Peak: A Dave Robicheaux Novel (Hardcover)
James Lee Burke is probably the greatest living American novelist and possibly the greatest American novelist ever. His novels are voyages into the darkest parts of your mind. Brilliant characters, excellent plots and a pervading sadness are elements of all his novels. Tin Roof Blowdown was excellent, this one is possibly better.
