In the Electric Mist with Confederate Dead
In the Electric Mist with Confederate Dead | James Lee Burke
6 posts | 9 read | 1 to read
Back in print at last, James Lee Burke s suspense-packed sixth novel in his bestselling Dave Robicheaux series delivers a heart-pounding bayou manhunt and features one of the colest, earthiest heroes in thrilerdom ("Entertainment Weekly "). When Hollywood invades New Iberia Parish to film a Civil War epic, restless specters waiting in the shadows for Louisiana detective Dave Robicheaux are reawakened ghosts of a history best left undisturbed. Hunting a serial killer preying on the lawless young, Robicheaux comes face-to-face with the elusive guardians of his darkest torments who hold the key to his ultimate salvation . . . or a final, fatal downfall."

Gotta start winnowing these down to something manageable.

A delightful read in spite of its violence. A discriminatory murder is unearthed thirty five years later as women of questionable careers, prostitutes, are found dead. A thrilling pageturner. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Because the #FabulousFebruary readathon and the #AnyWayYouReadathon overlap I'm going to set my goals together. I plan to read 20 hours for #AnyWayYouReadathom and I plan to read the stack of books for #FabulousFebruary. I also hope to finish The Raid by Benjamin F. Schemmer and A Dark Matter by Peter Straub. Desperation is a finish for me as well.

I suspect that i may not get many more in this challenge & it is getting a bit nippy now so a timely return to the louisiana swamps with a favourite detective seems apt. James lee burke describes the scenery and culture with skill whilst combining great plots. A film crew are in town, an old adversary now tough criminal, and a nasty killer. As Dave starts seeing soldiers in the mist can he sort it all out.
