These books are very dark. I enjoy reading about New Orleans and the Pan Handle places I have never lived. The descriptions are vivid. This book primarily takes place in Western Montana where I did live for a couple of years as a student and I loved visiting again through the authors descriptions. Reading James Lee Burke is like seeing a painting or eating a decadent desert. I will keep reading the Dave Robicheaux books.
