James Lee Burke and the Soul of Dave Robicheaux: A Critical Study of the Crime Fiction Series

Whether you're a long-time Dave Robicheaux fan or new to the series, this book will re-invigorate your already high opinion of the author and his character. Taken from the scenes and settings of several of the books, JLB and the Soul of Dave Robicheaux gives a glimpse behind the curtain where the wizard works his magic and answers many questions, including those for which I didn't realize I'd needed answers.A wonderful companion to one of the best series' in all of literature, this book really opened my eyes in a lot of ways. While there is ample room for much more critical analyses of one of the most gifted American writers of the last thirty years, Barbara Bogue does a terrific job of getting the ball rolling!

I have not read this book, it was a gift. But my friend and I have read all of the Robicheaux books so this book will give insight to the making of such an interesting character as Dave Robicheaux. I like everything that James Lee Burke has written so this book should not be any different.
