    Beyond excellent!

    Very good book! I found the main character interesting. The Author is now one my favorite and go to Author's. Wish I had found him years ago.

    Not for me...

    The novel is way, too coarse for my personal reading taste. I like mysteries and was a police officer for 28 years so I rubbed up against a few unsavory characters. Just not a book for me.

  • Good story, lively but some troubling stereotypes.

    Well written with lively characters. The story was more realistic in the mid 20th century than now. The ethnic stereotypes in the book were troubling. Hopefully, the author will make amends for that in future books.

  • Wonderful, authentic, feels like you are in New Orleans/Louisiana - unbelieveable, metaphors, imagery.

  • Intense drama with characters that are flawed magnificently within settings that are unique

    James Lee Burke is one of the most descriptive writer I've ever read and his characters come to life.
