Creole Belle (Abridged): A Dave Robicheaux Novel Audiobook

" I hate to think that I might be finished with Dave Robicheaux but this latest book was way too long for me. Dave and Clete continue to administer their own brand of justice regardless of the powers that be but Dave's ruminations on the nature of evil are getting old. "

" It seems as if JLB is concerned more with death now. Is he trying to get this book made into a movie, John Goodman to play the role of Clete??? John Goodman has already played a part in The Electric Mist as a movie that went straight to DVD. He did play Clete though, he was one of JLB's bad guys. "

" Five stars for atmosphere and characters. Not so much for plot. I listened to this on audiobook which is the best for this series. Will patton as narrator gets five stars. "

" Rats! I think I would have liked this book so much more if I had not tried to read it while watching the Olympics. The plot was confusing and I didn't like any of his female characters. I usually love JLB. So next time, I won't try to read while watching sports! "

" Typical James Lee Burke, which means that it is terrific, he is a poet who writes prose. "

" Excellent book, as usual. Some great writing that I want to bookmark. "

" I love Dave Robicheaux and Clete Purcell too! "

" Like a fine wine, James Lee Burke just gets better with age. A very wise man and another delicious read. "

" Enjoyed it. I have enjoyed all of the Dave and Clete series. However, this one lacked some focus and is certainly in the second tier of the series. "

" James Lee Burke has penned another fine entry in his Dave Robicheaux series. Readers of the series and other fans of literary mysteries will not want to miss this book. "

" Wonderful book. Keep writing, James Lee! "

" James Lee Burke has written another masterpiece. "

" As always, a beautifully written book from Mr. Burke. The only advice I would give other readers is: don't read two Dave Robicheaux novels back to back. The violence and evil portrayed in these books are hard on one's soul. "

" As in his previous books, I was captured my Burke's use of the language and the visions he paints. An excellant read. "

" James Lee Burke writes with a fierce, brutal elegance, sugarcoating nothing as his characters search for justice. "

" Another great read. James Lee Burke always produces a great narrative, which flows well in this book. The story line is much better than several of his recent books. I highly recommend this book. "

" The best book of the series! I absolutely loved it. Moving on from the events of glass rainbow was always going to be hard, but this delivered.... And then some! Incredible!! "

" I like Dave Robicheaux (sp?) as a detective. I liked the story. Not the best I've read, but I'd probably read it again. "

" he gets better with age "

" Not my favorite in the Dave Robicheaux series, but I did love that Clete was nearly the star of this book. "

" James Lee Burke, always a great read, I'm not sure if he and Clete won the war this time, they seem to be losing ground as time gains a hold. "
