 Rating:  - great buythis book was a great bargain considering it just came out for a much higher price in the chain stores. it arrived on time and in excellent condition. Rating:  - Dave and Clete still busting the bad guysThe other reviewers have well detailed the plot in this umpteenth Dave Robicheaux mystery thriller. The "Bobbsey Twins" -- Iberia Parish Sheriff's Detective Dave Robicheaux and his sidekick New Orleans P.I. Clete Purcel are at it again.

Read More Rating: - Man oh man, how I love BurkeI cannot say loudly enough how much I enjoy reading James Lee Burke. Every new novel seems to be better than his last, and Swan Peak is no exception. (And I'm not saying this just because I'm from Louisiana.) In this book, I particularly loved: - his pacing - his character development - his use of similes - his dialogue - his interweaving storylines If you've never read Burke, do yourself a favor and give him a try (especially if you're from the South).
