Burning Angel (Abridged) Audiobook

" This book was Okay but not up there with the rest of his stuff I've read. In all his books he tends to do over kill on telling you what the surroundings are like. It seems like just so much filler but at least you always know where you're at. He doesn't suddenly just jump from place to place, well maybe sometimes. It is somewhat of a page turner, it must be cause I read it in a day and half and it's 340 pages. Worth the read but not my favorite. "

" Not sure why I was a little disappointed in this book in the series. It was good but didn't rate up there with the last few. "

" Re-reading James Lee Burke is as much fun as the first time. The novel is complex, lyrical, and captivating. It is filled with characters who are just that in addition to the core group of current and past detectives...all of whom are well-developed. "

" Once again, Clete Purcell and Dave Robicheaux have untangled a mess. I just love those two and wonder why none of his books are movies? "

" Iberia Parish deputy sheriff Dave Robicheaux is asked to investigate a spurious land claim. Nothing cozy about the Robicheaux books: you want a shower after reading these gritty mysteries. "

" Classic Burke. Great new characters. "

" Very good mystery...heartbreaking in parts...intense. Made me feel like I was back in southern Louisiana and NOLA. Robicheaux is a complex character and a really good man. "

" Kinda confusing sometimes, but good overall. "

" Not his best but part of a great series. "

" My absolute favorite book in this series!! "

" love the way Mr. Burke brings his characters to life.outstanding job from him. "

" One in a series of many James Burke books featuring the character, Dave Robicheaux a private detective in Louisiana. "

" This really should get 4 1/2 stars. It's just a little too mystical to rate 5 stars. Burke is one of America's top fiction writers and this book is excellent, just short of being great. "

" This is another Dave Robicheaux winner. "

" His characters are good and the story is always above average. "

" I never get tired of James Lee Burke's descriptive and lovely novels. Gritty, yes, but his characters have depth. Love these books. "

" 09/16/2011 - A verrry sloow read. "

" This is one of Burke's best in my opinion. "

" Not my favourite in the series so far "

" I love Burke's writing but this was not his best effort. He relies too much on the occult and voodoo ya ya in the character of Sonny Boy Marsallus, which I found unnecessary and unhelpful in clarifying some of the other narrative strands that were left dangling. "

" Another James Lee Burke favorite. Read it many times and it gets better each time. "

" another winner from james lee burke. i've been reading a lot of technical writing for work, so this was just what i needed! "

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

" New Orleans characters are sure lively in this story of criminals & their crimes. White males, drunks, drug addicts, Vietnam era vets, womanizers, thieves, police all come together to further their aims. And the women, not all are prostitutes, liars or drunks, save the day, sort of. "

" Another James Lee Burke favorite. Read it many times and it gets better each time. "

" Not his best but part of a great series. "

" His characters are good and the story is always above average. "

" Finally! A reason to love Bootsie!! & Sonny Boy is amazing. This is such a great series, really. Took me a bit longer to read this one cos I changed my hours but the end was well worth the wait. "

" This is one of Burke's best in my opinion. "

" Robicheaux has a flawed guardian angel looking over him. He solves the murders and survives the hits. "
