Description

Dave Robicheaux is back, in a gorgeously written, visceral thriller by James Lee Burke, “the heavy weight champ, a great American novelist whose work, taken individually or as a whole, is unsurpassed” (Michael Connelly).

Creole Belle begins where the last book in the Dave Robicheaux series, The Glass Rainbow, ended. Dave is in a recovery unit in New Orleans, where a Creole girl named Tee Jolie Melton visits him and leaves him an iPod with the country blues song "Creole Belle" on it. Then she disappears. Dave becomes obsessed with the song and the memory of Tee Jolie and goes in search of her sister, who later turns up inside a block of ice floating in the Gulf. Meanwhile, there has been an oil well blowout on the Gulf, threatening the cherished environs of the bayous.

Creole Belle is James Lee Burke at his very best, with beloved series hero Dave Robicheaux leading the charge against the destruction of both the land and the people he has sworn to protect.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“This tale plays out much like The Glass Rainbow—intimations of mortality; melancholic musing on the pillaging of once-Edenic South Louisiana; cathartic, guns-blazing climax—but, as always, Burke brings something new to the table...Dave and Clete may still be unbowed, but they are certainly broken—and all the more interesting for it.” ( Booklist)
“Another stunner from a modern master.” ( Publishers Weekly)
“Great news for readers who feared that Burke had left Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Deputy Dave Robicheaux dying at the end of The Glass Rainbow (2010); Dave and his old friend Clete Purcel are back for an even more heaven-storming round of homicide, New Orleans–style.... A darkly magnificent treat for Dave’s legion of admirers.” ( Kirkus Reviews)

Cure for Boredom on a Rainy Italian Mountain

I discovered James Lee Burke in a house during 4 days of torrential rain on an Italian mountain. My boredom instantly disappeared, I was enthralled and didn't want Purple Cane Road to ever end. I have since read another of his books & listened to 2 more on Audio, this being the latest.

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.
