2.0 out of 5 stars Not a Bad Thriller Writer....But, January 22, 2010
By 
Lesmok "Lesmok" (Los Angeles CA USA) - See all my reviews
Burke is a fairly good yarn spinner with a couple of major weaknesses that make his novels rather tiresome after you get into the Dave Robicheaux series.

1. Robicheaux's endless and repetitive dream sequences and conversations with the dead that the author indulges in at some point in almost every chapter of every book. It becomes even more of a tired cliche than Lee Child's "Reacher said nothing."

2. Burke is obviously one of those who will never forgive Ronald Reagan for winning the Cold War. By the time he brings his characters and stories into the 1990's he has to labor pondorously and hard to fit his archaic 1980 world view into the context of his novels current events.

3.0 out of 5 stars As far as it goes, November 17, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book included three novels I had never read. As far as I have read so far, it was a great investment even if only the one novel I am reading is all it contained.
