Three Great Novels: Dixie City Jam; Burning Angel; Purple Cane Road Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Burke is a fairly good yarn spinner with a couple of major weaknesses that make his novels rather tiresome after you get into the Dave Robicheaux series.
1. Robicheaux's endless and repetitive dream sequences and conversations with the dead that the author indulges in at some point in almost every chapter of every book. It becomes even more of a tired cliche than Lee Child's "Reacher said nothing."
2. Burke is obviously one of those who will never forgive Ronald Reagan for winning the Cold War. By the time he brings his characters and stories into the 1990's he has to labor pondorously and hard to fit his archaic 1980 world view into the context of his novels current events.
