Book Reviews of Black Cherry Blues (Dave Robicheaux, Bk 3)

Another great Dave Robicheaux romp...only this time Dave, Alafair, Clete and an assorted group spend most of the book in Montana's tribal lands. As usual Dave's got to battle his enemies, his friends and himself. You'll love it.

One of my favortie mystery authors. If you love the deep south, most of his books will never fail to please those who also love mysteries. He knows how to give you just the right amount of description of the area as well as plenty of action.

Robicheaux helps a friend and ends up a murder suspect. Good story

another good one

I've read everything James Lee Burke has ever written, and now I'm reading books written by his real-life daughter, Alafair (who is a character in this, as in so many of his books - you can almost watch her grow up if you read his books in chronological order). He sets most of his stories in South Louisiana, and no one gets it right like JLB. The descriptions of the Louisiana landscape, with its dreamy, slow-moving bayous and dreamy, slow-moving way of life, the New Orleans he loves, the dialogue that is right on, even the history and culture of the Acadian, or 'Cajun' people...he gets it all right, and you can tell he loves the place he lives and writes about. (Can you tell I'm a Louisiana lady?) :-)

Since the story is well-described, I won't attempt another description. But I will say that I believe anyone who enjoys a good mystery with in-depth characterizations and plenty of twists and turns, should truly enjoy the incomparable James Lee Burke.

I've read a lot of Burke's books. I found this not to be one of his best.

Early Dave Robicheaux mystery set in New Orleans. And absolute MUST read for any fan of James Lee Burke's wonderful detective series'.

This book has a small tear in rear cover and one in spine. Still very readable.

A little too gory for my taste- didn't finish it

Ex-Homicide Cop from New Orleans is now running a Bait Shop and Boat rental in New Iberia, LA. The problem is someone keeps getting him involved in solving a crime. Usually a crime that threatens his life and that of his family. In this book he goes to Montana to find the answers he needs.

Ex-cop Dave Robicheaux: His wife had been murdered ... Now they're after his little girl...

From the Louisiana bayou to Montana's tribal lands,he's running front the bottle, a homicide rap, aprofessional killer ... and the demons of his past.

Another in this great series about Dave Robicheaux. Elmore Leonard would be proud of James Lee Burke's efforts.

A very suspenseful crime thriller with a very wry writing style about a Louisiana detective pursuing the murders of his wife as he struggles to protect his daughter form the same culprits.

very good !!
