À propos de cet audio
Set against the events of the Gulf Coast oil spill, rife with “the menaces of greed and violence and man-made horror” (The Christian Science Monitor), Creole Belle finds Dave Robicheaux languishing in a New Orleans recovery unit since surviving a bayou shoot-out. The detective’s body is healing; it’s his morphine-addled mind that conjures spectral visions of Tee Jolie Melton, a young woman who in reality has gone missing. An iPod with an old blues song left by his bedside turns Robicheaux into a man obsessed… And as oil companies assign blame after an epic disaster threatens the Gulf’s very existence, Robicheaux unearths connections between tragedies both global and personal—and faces down forces that can corrupt and destroy the best of men.
“A work of dark and radiant brilliance” (Richmond Times-Dispatch), Creole Belle is “a novel that shows how the sins of the fathers poison the ground their children walk on” (The New York Times Book Review).
My Dad was a man similar to Dave Robicheaux. An intelligent, complex man gifted with insight, instinct & an understanding of the human condition inherited from generations before; understood by few, misunderstood by many. Reading James Lee Burke's novels gives me an opportunity to remember my Dad while enjoying exceptional storytelling.
I distinctly recall the character of Scott Pritchard in the movie 'No Way Out'. Will Paton inhabited the role so effectively you could practically feel the oil sliding off the screen into the theatre. I have never forgotten his voice. I was sure he would be able to bring Dave Robicheaux alive, but was so pleasantly surprised to hear him bring all the other players to life as well. For some reason I love how he humanizes Tee Jolee Melton.
I have so enjoyed all the James Lee Burke books I have ingested to date & have several more on my Wish List. I revel in how the characters are painted with words like the environment they inhabit. If you enjoy a good thrilling storyline well fleshed out by people who seem alive in their surroundings, you might like a James Lee Burke novel. I try to work with an earbud in, but soon find myself in a chair somewhere, totally invested in the story & the people living it.
Fill your boots. You won't be sorry.
