In the Electric Mist With Confederate Dead by James Lee Burke

5.0

This is one of my favorite ever mystery novels. James Lee Burke captures Louisiana so accurately that I can almost smell the boudin in the air. This was also the first one of his books I ever read. It was highly recommended in the New York Times Book Review Genre section and it intrigued me. Even though his schtick gets a bit old, he still conjures up a magical environment and this one is one of his best.
