Sunset Limited Audiobook

" The best writer and literary artist of all time. Any audio book by Burke is an addiction to me. "

" Dave Robicheaux is haunted by an old crime. Megan and Cisco Flynn's father, a union organizer, was beaten and nailed to a barn. Decades later, the Flynn siblings are back in town: Cisco is making a movie, Megan is a world class photographer. Assisted by the unusual (usual) cast of characters (Clete Purcell his ex-partner, Helen his current partner, weird hit men, the New Orleans Mob, and downtrodden Cajuns) Dave finally unravels who perpetrated the crime and why. I listened to this book on tape several years ago; reading it was almost a new experience. "

" I do agree with others who have already reviewed this book generally. I like very much his sense of place - his words paint evocative pictures. I loved the scenes with Robicheaux and daughter Alafair fishing together. Its a compelling mystery and made me unable to put it down. "

" I always enjoy reading Dave Robicheaux books. This one is no exception. "

" It was a bit confusing at time and just did not grip me to keep reading really fast. So I forced myself to finish "

" Burke injects his stories with the feel, sounds, and even taste of Southern Louisiana. It kills me that he was teaching at UM in Missoula while I was there and I wasn't aware of his work at the time! Great mysteries......hope he still has some stories to tell. "

" Another favorite character of mine - Dave Robicheaux. If you like mysteries, have the slightest interest in New Orleans, the Louisiana Bayous and crooked corrupt Louisiana Government find the first book (The Neon Rain) and read them all. "

" I found the plot lines a bit confusing, and contrived. I'm usually a fan of complicated story lines, but this one just didn't seem that pulled together to me. "

" Not as satisfying as others in this series but still very good. "

" I love JLB, he is one of my favorite authors. But this one just became tiresome. The characters lacked the typical depth given by the author, the plot seemed too familiar; just nothing new seemed to happen in this story. OH I wish it had been better. "

" I have read a majority of his books and enjoy the great writing and different people and lifestyle of and area I've never been too, New Orleans. "

" 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. "

" Another fine robicheaux novel, taking us to different parts of his life. I could see parts of this story really happening for that time. "

" Takes a look at the dark side of people. "

" A superb read with characters like "Cool Breeze Broussard." "

" Enjoy this series and listened to most while travelig to Mexico "

" A long-time reader and fan of the Robicheaux series, this was the slowest story. Not a page-turner. "

" There's never much to disappoint you in this series by Burke. The characters are familiar and interesting and as long as it's set in Louisiana [one book wasn't] I'm happy. "

" A little hard to follow in some spots but I love the picture tapestry Burke weaves with his words. "

" Dave Robicheaux mystery--typical of his style "

" Another good one involving Dare Robicheaux. I enjoyed this one more than the last one, although it just seemed to come to a stop, as opposed to ending. Still looking forward to the next one. Recommended. "

" Just to hear Will Patton read this amazing book is worth the effort. "

" Well done but not too impressed with the ending "

" I really like the Dave Robicheaux books and while this one was not one of my favorites it is still pretty good. Burke has a fine insite into the darker side of the human spirit. "

" did book on tape. liked it but not my favorite of the cop dave r. "

" Read in 1997 and rereading now..2013 "
