## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Early JLB, and pretty raw
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 December 2020*

One of the great JLB's first. Cutting his teeth; I wouldn't bother unless you are determined to read everything he's ever written, which I am. Story of three different doomed characters, two of whom intersect at one point. One is forced to ask... why? Far cry from here to the moral ambivalence and complexity that make Dave Robicheaux and Billy Bob Holland such compelling characters.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Depressing and unfulfilling...
  

*by G***I on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 May 2017*

I've read a few of James Lee Burke's books and enjoyed them very much but this collection of short stories threading it's way through the life's of some very flawed and unlikable weak characters was just too dark and unforgiving for me. His writing is superb but in this collection the content became boring in it's unrelenting gloom and baseness.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    His first (?) and not his best.
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 November 2016*

The first time I've been slightly disappointed with a James Lee Burke novel. The prose is still pretty good but the dialogue sections did not read true in a lot of cases. It is really four stories which jump from one to the other chapter after chapter and this did not work for me. It is one of his earliest books (if not his first published) and boy has he improved since then. I still look forward to his next one, and recommend him to anyone who has not read him yet.
