" This was not one of my favorites in this series - more than the usual dose of gratuitous violence on the part of Dave Robicheaux, who seems incapable of learning anything about himself or his behavior as the series progresses. It is also remarkable that he always goes unpunished. Maybe I am just getting tired of these novels and the sameness of the plots. JLB is still a good wordsmith, however, so the overall read is still on the plus side. "
