When I discovered JLB, I was ecstatic. I live in Alexandria, La. and this really is so about La. I have read all but 4 of his books. I hound the book stores daily! I think I have a soft spot for Cleve Purcell, he did love his "Big Mon" and ended up in trouble himself. James L. Burke is my favorite author!

Beth:
I don't remember in what book Bootsie dies, but die she does. Any way, when I first started reading JLB I read him in any order I could get the books and I didn't miss anything to speak of. Of course, reading them in order probably makes more sense to some, but you'll get a lot of enjoyment just reading Burke. Enjoy.

I have just read Shadow Men by Jonathon King, an author praised by James Lee Burke as someone able to stunningly evoke a region, in this case the Everglades.He has touches of JLB.One of his characters even wears a Dave Robicheaux Dock and Bait Shop cap!A good novelist who maintains your interest to the end but really lacking the gripping complexity of JLB.When can we expect a new Burke novel. I have read all his work to date.

Michael Connolly might, indeed, be brillaint. I prefer to think of James Lee Burke as brilliant.

I have read all of his books but love the Dave Robicheaux novels. I am originally from Lafayette, LA, so this takes me home. I just finished Crusaders Cross and cannot find out the explanation of one of the serial killers victim, why did she swallow her wedding band? Did I miss something?
