Review title: Bitterroot leaves a bitter taste
Product review: I am long-time admirer of James Lee Burke's books and I think I have read all of his Dave Robicheaux novels, as well as a few others set in different locales. Let's hope he soon returns to Louisiana. Montana does not seem to provide him with the same inspiration. Bitterroot reads like a bad parody of Ernest Hemingway, overlaid with a patter of homespun philosophy and pop psyschology. It is filled with tortured similes and other forced descriptive devices. Perhaps his publisher expects a new book each year, but I would prefer to wait longer rather than seeing a fine writer waste his talent..
