Summary

 Dave Robicheaux and his ex-partner head to Montana for a break. But they are soon dragged in to an investigation into the deaths of a couple of hikers, which suggests that a serial killer may be at work, while an escaped jailbird and his former tormentor are locked in a battle that is connected to a terrible family secret.©2008 James Lee Burke (P)2008 Simon & Schuster Inc Mystery Suspense Thriller & Suspense Fiction Montana

Beautiful and lyrical writing. Believable characters and rich storytelling. Each Robicheaux book that I've read, has not disappointed.

Another classic James Lee Burke story

I'm already a fan of JLB, this novel is right up there, I could not stop listening to it. Will Patton is the only one who I've heard that can really put these novels over, in this one he excels, as does the author. The voices and the characters are so...
I found myself laughing out load, and also shedding a tear. Great story lines and all cleverly brought together at various points.
Great book.

The forst novel form this author that I've read, but I'll look out for more! Lot's of action set in the American mid west. Narrator is good and adds to the enjoyment. Author has obviously tried to make his novel 'wordy' but this doesn't detract. Overall a good read, with lots of twists and turns

Action packed

This is my first James Lee Burke novel. What a literary treat, the author is a true crasfman. His descriptions of the sprawling Montana scenery, fauna and flora are wonderful, both descriptive and poetic. This book is part of a series and the main characters are obviously old friends of the author. I am now compelled to delve into the earlier books in the series.

It is essentially a crime thriller, with a solid cast of characters, some good, some bad and some you're not sure about. This ambiguity, I believe is the main strength of the

book.

This novel does not have the most complex plot and I think it is all the better for this.

If you like a gritty thriller that is superbly narrated, then I highly recommend you give this one a go.

First, but not the last.
