Black Cherry Blues: A Dave Robicheaux Novel Audiobook

" Yes. This is good! "

" Good book, but it has a tad bit more violence than I am comfortable with. I will go slow with this series. "

" No one writes mysteries like James Lee Burke. The most beautiful writing, the best plotting and the most unforgettable characters. "

" Not my favorite Dave Robicheaux Book. It was lack luster, but it was only the 3rd in the series. "

" if only most novels had the weight and style of this - hey anything by JLB is worth a looky "

" Good book, just not my thing. I'll save the rest of the series for when I have nothing better to read. "

" Fantastic! Burke is the best author in America today. He can absolutely bring to life landscapes and characters. Do yourself a favor and read everything he has ever written. Highly recommended to anyone who likes reading. "

" Very Good; Continuing character: Dave Robicheaux; ex-cop is framed for murder and his little girl threatened, so he goes up against mobsters involved in shady dealings on an Indian reservation "

" James Lee Burke is such an excellent author. He writes complete, realistic characters, with real lives, and gives them a terrific plot to deal with. Love it! "

" The strongest book in this series, heavy on the melancholy. "

" I didn't like the narrator, Mark Hammer's reading of this. I liked the book though. The third in the Dave Robicheaux series. James Lee Burke is wonderful with his descriptions of south Louisana food and landscape and characters. Looking forward to the rest of the series. "

" I enjoy everything I read by James Lee- and I just finished one of his Montana ones- I prefer to keep him in Louisiana. That's the setting I love best. His descriptions are the best ever. I actually read his books before I traveled to New Orleans, and he made me want to go. "

" The Dave Robicheaux series are my favorite Burke series. Alot of his books are about Dave Robicheaux but I also enjoy all of his other books too. "

" I'm not sure why I didn't like this one as well as the first two. Perhaps it was because I read such a great book in between [The Innocent] and this one just didn't compare. However, I'm not giving up on Dave Robicheaux! "

" Not so much a mystery as a novel with a murder in it. Great fun, though. "

" Loved the characters, the locations, and most of all, the unique writing. However, wasn't gripped by the plot. I was deceived. "

" Adrenaline charged and threatening. How can Dave deal with this? "

" Great story. The only issue is that I listened to it and the reader was very slow. I will read the books that are read by Mark Hammer and listen to the others. "

" The author changes tact & the setting for this episode is both Louisiana & Montana, with familiar descriptive writing to a fantastic series. "

" Still loving Dave! He has such a luck streak! ha! "

" Fun read. Nice detail. "

" Notable not so much for the mystery but for Burke's masterful skill at depicting Robicheaux's internal world. "

" very well done...I was on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen and how he would get out of the mess he was in...I like that he brought Alfie with him. "

" The best of the Robicheaux novels I've read so far. If you like crime novels and you haven't read Burke, you need to remedy that as soon as possible. An excellent read. "

" Another great Robicheaux read! I simply can not put these books down! For any fan of grisly cop/murder/suspense set in bayou country you will love these! Check them out! "

" As always, Burke never fails to keep me on the edge of my seat! :) Great book! "

" To me, this is Burke at his best. Action, moral dilemma, nasty, nuanced bad guys, a supporting cast of beautifully written supporting characters from the swamps and Robicheaux,tough, strong, vulnerable and straight-up mean.<br/>I guess you can see I'm a fan. Burke is a treasure. "

" He's my favorite author. Read a Burke book and your in a dark theater by yourself surrounded and engulfed by his images. I've read them all but can only do so once every 3-4 months because in the end they are their message about the human condition is not hopeful. "

" I'm hooked-- on the series --this is my third-- although I liked the first two much better--I am still hooked. Burke's descriptions are gold, and his prose can be heartbreakingly good-- but so rich and the vernacular perfect-- <br/>I am going after the next one right now-- "

" Good book, just not my thing. I'll save the rest of the series for when I have nothing better to read. "

" Describes to the scenes to were you feel like you are standing beside the detective. "

" My second book regarding Dave, probably the last too. "

" Gritty crime fiction. It was fun but not deep or enlightening in any way. Good beach book. "

" A little to slow to get into. "

" Favorite David Robicheaux book so far - some very cool and complicated characters... "

" If you like Lee Childs, Jack Reacher then you would probably like this series. "

" James Lee Burke has quickly become one of my favorite authors. I read this book because I liked some of his others and I read that this particular one had won The Edgar Award. Easy to see why. "
