Black Cherry Blues By James Lee Burke Unabridged Cd Audiobook (Dave Robicheaux Mystery Series, Book 3)

Black Cherry Blues By James Lee Burke Unabridged Cd Audiobook (Dave Robicheaux Mystery Series, Book 3) - James Lee Burke This is good storytelling. Even if it's a bit confused and slow to start Burke's storytelling is miles above the rest. Robicheaux is still swimming through the lost tragic and traumatic lost of his wife Annie, his past comes back to bite him in the behind and he might, just might have stepped into a bit of a mess that will put him in jail and much worst unless he finds a way to make sense of it all. Not all black, definitely no white knight, Robicheaux lives in a world of grey and where the choices are never, never easy and life is hard with burst of vivid colours. I liked it. Really good, modern noir. Not as tightly structured as the first two novels but still, Burke delivers a gripping tale of deceit, despair and greed.
