Title: It's not James Lee Burke
Review: When the publisher compared Cook's writing favorably to James Le Burke, I was hooked. And I stayed hooked through part of the book, but then I thought the story came a part. Too many first time novelists try to "out kill" established writers, I suppose, because they think "more gore" sells. I'm not at all opposed to a high kill ratio, but I thought Cook made a real mess of the ending. If Cook is James Lee Burke, then I'm Stephen King.
