This book is so dark and Dave Robicheaux acts so stupidly and selfishly--with disastrous consequences--that it is almost enough to make me quit the series. The story also drags on too long. Compared to the first book in the series, Neon Rain, I wasn't sure this was even the same character. In the end, Burke succeeds in leaving us with something, and we realize what a damaged character Robicheaux is. I guess if he had made it crystal clear in the first book, perhaps it would have been more difficult to publish. At this point, as a reader (or listener) you just have to buy in to whether you are willing to follow the character down what appears to be a long dark road. It's made a bit easier by the fact that Burke is a real stylist, and the picture of Cajun Country and New Orleans he paints is as real as it gets. Few novels immerse the reader in a more convincing world. As an audiobook, this suffered from being read by Mark Hammer rather than the superb Will Patton. Hammer isn't bad in his own right, but whereas Patton made each voice distinct, in a lot of the dialogues in this book, it is hard to tell Robicheaux from the other characters. In the end, I guess I'll recommend this, but expect to be infuriated.... ( ) Dave Robicheaux ha devuelto su placa de policÃa, ha dejado Nueva Orleans y no es más que un detective retirado en la tranquila Luisiana.

Pero un dÃa, un avión se estrella en las aguas del golfo y él presencia el accidente. Logra salvar con vida a una niña, a quien decide ocultar.

HTML:James Lee Burke's second Robicheaux novel takes the detective out of New Orleans and into the bayou as he seeks a quieter life. Vietnam vet Dave Robicheaux has turned in his detective's badge, is winning his battle against booze, and has left New Orleans with his wife for the tranquil beauty of Louisiana's bayous. But a plane crash on the Gulf brings a young girl into his lifeâ??and with her comes a netherworld of murder, deception, and homegrown crime. Suddenly Robicheaux is confronting Bubba Rocque, a brutal hood he's known since childhood; Rocque's hungry Cajun wife; and a Federal agent with more guts than sense. In a backwater world where a swagger and a gun go further than the law, Robicheaux and those he loves are caught on a tide of violence far bigger than them all Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
