" I didn't relate to the super macho main character at all. My husband's uncle gave it to me because he loved it. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't up my alley. "

" This book is filled with a lot of local color. The setting is southwestern Louisiana and the characters are believable and portray an accurate picture of people from that area. The plot is a bit under developed but loved the cast. "

Dario | 1/17/2014
" I enjoyed this detective novel that really gives you a feel for Louisiana and the struggles of a recovering addict. The contrast of the different worlds Hollywood , Louisiana and the historic Confederate times are well integrated through the struggle of addiction and trauma. I look forward to more Burke novels. "

" 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. "

Neil | 12/13/2013
" Burke uses LSD tripping to allow Dave Robicheaux to perceive a mystical reality not usually found in thrillers. By bending the rules, we get to experience the past as a living part of the present. Brilliant! "

" This series just keeps getting better with each book. Dave is a fascinating character, the plot of this book was one of the best in the series, and I always enjoy the descriptions of the lush scenery. Listened to the audio version read by one of my favorites the late Mark Hammer. "

Dave | 6/10/2013
" As lyrical as Burke gets. I'd loved the movie from this novel. Reading is another experience. ..and this may just be my favorite Robicheaux novel. You have to be in Burke mode of course to want to wallow in the lyricism ... but this one works a treat. "
-




Scott | 6/2/2013
" "IN THE ELECTRIC MIST WITH CONFEDERATE DEAD" is, by far, my favorite in the Dave Robicheaux series written by James Lee Burke. Avoid the mediocre movie starring Tommy Lee Jones. The book is, of course, superior. "
-




Rosemary | 3/2/2013
