3.0 out of 5 stars Heartwood A disappointment., August 7, 2000
By 
David Clarke (Tucson, Arizona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heartwood (Paperback)
As a long time reader of James Lee Burke's Dave Robicheaux novels, I found "Heartwood" a let down. The similarities between Holland and Robicheaux are striking, although the character Temple, is no Clete Purcell. In fact the supporting cast in Heartwood has a counterpart in every Robicheaux novel ever written. I don't know if Mr. Burke has been writing about Dave Robicheaux for so long, that he cannot develope a new and distinctive main character, or if he is just placing Dave in a new setting under an alias. In any event, this book is predictable and the ending is easy to decipher long before you reach it. Mr. Burke should stick to New Iberia and leave Texas to someone else.
