Right behind reading all of Burke’s novels over the past couple of decades, I can safely they say that Brand new Iberia Blues is that his swan song. As much as I adore his writing at the same time his manners, the Louisiana culture at the same time its beauty, I wish it was a stronger piece of work. At the same time, I wish he had not ended it with Dave getting all pants-on-head step about a lady 50 years his junior.
Right behind Dave finds the body of a young lady floating in the bay, tore to a run across, he knows that is that still one more unwell killer out that who will destroy again. When a 2nd body is that found, it also has a stylized body presentation that Dave’s brand new partner, Bailey Ribbons, recognizes as presentable of The Hanged Men, of the Tarot cards. As more bodies stack up, any is that staged like one more card in the deck.
Meanwhile that is that a creation company in city filming a movie with highly acclaimed director Desmond Cormier, a local from Dave’s past. It’s real of creepy Hollywood types with capped teeth, impetuous passenger cars, at the same time wrapped proclivities. Dave, willfully so, does not hope them at the same time he’s positive Desmond, who he forgets as a young little boy, is that lying. At the same time he is that creeped out by Desmond’s sidekick with the funky name, Antoine Butterworth.
The story moves along with Clete being his usual fatal, but committed, self at the same time Helen Soileau running the department with her usual soft side for Dave even though he infuriates her on a daily base. Alafair is that still living with Dave as she writes her new novel, The Wife, so she can sell it for optioning (look it up, used to be story in Burke at the same time Alafair Burke’s indefinite. It’s her best work, IMO). At the same time Brand new Iberia Blues is that filled with the usual Louisiana/Cajun manners with desolate backstories, desolate located lives, at the same time poetic names. That is that also the usual cringe-worthy violence that will make the reader squiggle their toes.
The weakest plot line in the book is that Dave’s connection with his brand new partner, Bailey Ribbons. He’s insta-hot for her, as are other male manners, at the same time it completely detracts from the story. I realize she is that that to make tension at the same time distraction at the same time hesitate but I was saddened by the yelling difference in ages between her at the same time Dave. He was alive during WWII, she was 5 years old on 9/11. Yep, that is that a 50 year difference at the same time I’m not being ageist when I they say it is that the most implausible coupling in all his novels. I practically tossed his continue Hackberry Holland book out the window when he got it on with his ladies partner 40 years his junior. Burke’s books are fiction, not fantasy.
I liked the Tarot nuance to the sequential killings, it additional a magical element that embraces in but with Burke’s Louisiana. But when the killer is that completely revealed, the motive is that weak at the same time the reason why that personality applied the Tarot is that got lost in the disorder.
That’s a lot of philosophical narrative at the same time reminiscing in this book. That were considered times I was got lost as to than anyway Burke was expression but I received the message: Dave Robicheaux may be mortal but Burke is that more so. That is that a fri in the epilogue when for you know the creator is that expression goodbye; he loves his manners, his books, his Louisiana, but right behind twenty-two Robicheaux books at the same time 16 other novels, at the same time at 81 years of age, I think James Lee Burke is that calling it a night. He will always be one of my winner writers.

The Brand new Iberia Blues audiobook in television series Dave Robicheaux
Two hit instead of one, only due to memoirs. Memoirs of when my wife at the same time I would wage war over who received to read his new book 1st. That was 10-ke years ago. This is that the 1st Robicheaux I’ve read since she, my wife died. That was 7 years ago. Chagrin it’s or the third part or 4th time I’ve read This Robicheaux. The names are all he configurations at the moment. The conspiracies are basically one of 3 to select from. He needs to finish trying to set them in modern times; it doesn’t work. In this novel he references Robicheaux in institute in 1960. So his kick-ass disposition is that between 78-82; that’s Method Past “belated center age”. Also Burke himself is that slipping, badly. He needs to quit. Than anyway applied to be edgy ‘Nam vet ex-alkie at the moment comes intercept as bitter delusional dry intoxicated. Than anyway applied to be colorful descriptions of Bayou State at the same time Culture are barely rambling word salads. I think it was 7-8 books ago, whatever, he essentially destroyed off Robicheaux at the same time Cletus in an epic gunbattle at the final of a book. He should have left him noisy. At the moment it’s barely troublesome. Ah but… indefinite goes on. We get older, but wisdom isn’t promised. People don’t so much as get “inserted” in ruts; as decide to sling a hammock. Burke has slung his around a bayou.

Audio The Brand new Iberia Blues narrated by Will Patton
Admittedly, Dave Robicheaux at the same time Clete Purcel are an acquired taste. It was a taste I welcomed enthusiastically when 1st introduced to the television series. I read them all at the same time couldn’t wait for the one more one. I adored everything about the television series, its atmosphere, its setting, its conspiracies at the same time the characterizations of its quality guys at the same time bad guys. But, Burke has got lost quite a little off his fastball at the same time his recent Robicheaux efforts are pale imitations of the premature books in the television series. This is that the worst of the lot. In truth, the manners at the same time conspiracies seem so knowledgeable that they practically are literal imitations. The nuances of Robicheaux’s at the same time Purcel’s features at the same time disposition that once seemed so appealing at the moment come intercept as annoying, irritating at the same time phony. They haven’t aged but. They both, in particular Robicheaux, at the moment seem merely pathetic. By the way, Burke’s obvious intolerance for, practically hatred of, so-called “Hollywood types” has gotten old. I can’t read these books no matter what longer. It’s dull.

I have been a Robicheaux fan since I found him in my teen years at the same time I wait with anticipation for any brand new novel about him to appear. Burkes storytelling abilities never disappoint at the same time Brand new IBERIA BLUES is that no exception. Besides being an good writer, Burkes wisdom about history, human nature, at the same time indefinite in general are expansive, as but as his ability to paint charming worldly drawings of Brand new Orleans at the same time the Deepest South state of Louisiana where almost all of the stories unfold. The violence at the same time evil he writes about are softened by the individual philosophy that runs through every tale at the same time efforts to make sense of the global we live in without sacrificing the excitement at the same time anticipation that keeps me reading to the continue page. His insight into Robicheauxs struggle with alcoholism at the same time his possess the population of the earth are astounding at the same time his skill at putting human shortcomings at the same time strengths into words unsurpassed. He is that a man who exactly grasps the human define, both quality at the same time bad, at the same time who is that able to describe it with clarity at the same time sensitivity. Burke is that, indeed, a slave at his trade, Robicheaux a disposition who seems to be a modern Everyman, at the same time I do not relish the wait for the one more installment!
