Robicheaux by James Lee Burke

2.0

I've been recommended books from this series since I joined Goodreads and I finally got my hands on one of them.

It took me around two weeks to read it. Even I'm not that slow at reading. I just could not find the will power to want to pick it up. I did finish the sucker though so I'm giving it a big old two star. It wasn't the worst book I've ever read but it was not my favorite so we will go with the average...


You have your main character who has recently lost his wife. Battles the alcohol. Has a bestie who might go off the deep end on some bad guys at any point in the story. Then throw in some mob guys, a crooked politician and a weird serial killer.

Wait, that sounds like I'd sell a kidney for a book like that! The thing is? I just never felt into the story. I never gave any craps to what the outcome was going to be or who was going to end up with bullets holes.
I do work nights and the last few weeks have me so sleep deprived that I have a new obsession.

nah...I'm not excusing it. I can not even work up a good review for this one. I'm just glad I finally finished the sucker.
