Robicheaux by James Lee Burke

3.0

My second book by Burke and my first book in this popular series. As for [b:House of the Rising Sun|25205414|House of the Rising Sun (Hackberry Holland, #4)|James Lee Burke|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1433449565s/25205414.jpg|43082570] that I read prior, I liked the writing style that evokes a strong sense of place but I was confused by the slow-to-develop complex story and the many characters (probably because is seldom a good idea to start in the middle of the series). This book gave me a taste of Dave Robicheaux and I liked the character enough that I might go back at the beginning of the series or maybe leave it at that, because, even if the language was poetic, I found it a bit pretentious.
