James Lee Burke is deservedly one of the most read crime writers of today. His plots are fast moving, and his characters are finely drawn, but I enjoy the writer's descriptions and philosophy as well. Swan Peak quickly rises to the top of his work. The main character, Dave Robicheaux, is a flawed and mightly interesting policeman. He has a dark past and leads a daily struggle, and when paired with his best friend (a private decective) you can expect jumping from one exciting event into another. In this tale the two are off on a fly fishing vacation...expecting to refuel their tired souls. But, of course, trouble awaits. Characters involve a country singer, a prison guard, a bartender who enjoys the kill, two college students, a porn actress and director, a family of power and evil and religion, etc.Read full review
J.L. Burke is one of my favorite authors . I buy the audio books for my truck travels . I find myself sitting in the truck , even after I arrive at destination , to see what happens next . Will Patton is the best Story Telling reader of all . He makes it REAL ..
