The Tin Roof Blowdown - James Lee Burke

and fifty pages or so are the best and most involving. The internal monologue does get slightly confusing at times and having some background knowledge of Robicheaux character from James previous novels is recommended (but not essential.) But other than that I don t think there s anything I can personally fault about The Tin Roof Blowdown. It takes a lot for me to award a book five stars but in this case it really deserves it.

Thanks for ...

Robicheaux is a reformed alcoholic who seems to have no trouble hanging around his best friend Clete - his hard drinking ex cop partner. In fact a large portion of the book is devoted to getting Clete out of one serious, and often ...

Purple Cane Road - James Lee Burke

on how difficult (the things you see, the people you interact with, the smell of it...) it can be to be a cop. Whenever I finish a James Lee Burke novel or watch NYPD Blue, I think, Man, I wish I could craft something as clear, true and compelling as this. While travelling through Missoula, MT this summer, I almost looked up James Lee Burke in the phone book, to call and say, "Thanks for creating such a robust, honest, tough character ." But then I thought, heck, if he's like Robicheaux, he doesn't need my interruption. He wrote the book because he had demons to ...
