Title: First James Lee Burke Book I've Ever Read And It Won't Be The Last
Review: As my title says, I'd never read a James Lee Burke book before. This author really knows how to write. His descriptive manner placed me in New Orleans and allowed me to see the beauty of the homes, hear the sounds of the river, listen to the tugboats and even the crocodiles swishing their tails in the water. The story begins some years earlier which gave me a good picture of the lead character and where he came from before bringing the story forward into present day. Each character in the book is more than one dimensional. You know each and every one of them and what makes them tick. The ending and putting all the pieces together of the crime(s) was very well done. I thought several times, I had "whodunnit" figured out but I was wrong and pleased to admit it. An excellent book.
