Robicheaux



I just finished reading Robicheaux, by James Lee Burke, a novel in a series featuring police detective Dave Robicheaux. This particular novel was published in January of 2018.  The previous book in the series, Light of the World, came out five years earlier, and I personally thought it was not very good.  However, this one is excellent, and I heartily recommend it.  It follows New Iberia, Louisiana police detective Dave Robicheaux and his private eye friend Clete Purcell as they try to solve a series of killings taking place in the area.  It involves the mafia, a famous writer, and a seedy Louisiana politician who reminds me a lot of Donald Trump. It is an exciting page turner, and actually quite thought-provoking, as opposed to your usual crime novels. Pick a copy up at your local bookseller or library today.  Yes! Today!
