James Lee Burke
James Lee Burke’s eagerly awaited new novel finds Detective Dave Robicheaux back in New Iberia, Louisiana, and embroiled in the most harrowing and dangerous case of his career. Seven young women in neighboring Jefferson Davis Parish have been brutally murdered. While the crimes have all the telltale signs of a serial killer, the death of Bernadette Latiolais, a high-school honor student, doesn’t fit: she is not the kind of hapless and marginalized victim psychopaths usually prey upon. Robicheaux and his best friend, Clete Purcel, confront Herman Stanga, a notorious pimp and crack dealer whom both men despise. When Stanga turns up dead shortly after a fierce beating by Purcel, in front of numerous witnesses, the case takes a nasty turn, and Clete’s career and life are hanging by threads over the abyss.
Adding to Robicheaux’s troubles is the matter of his daughter, Alafair, on leave from Stanford Law to put the finishing touches on her novel. Her literary pursuit has led her into the arms of Kermit Abelard, celebrated novelist and scion of a once prominent Louisiana family whose fortunes are slowly sinking into the corruption of Louisiana’s subculture. Abelard’s association with best-selling ex-convict author Robert Weingart, a man who uses and discards people like Kleenex, causes Robicheaux to fear that Alafair might be destroyed by the man she loves. As his daughter seems to drift away from him, he wonders if he has become a victim of his own paranoia. But as usual, Robicheaux’s instincts are proven correct and he finds himself dealing with a level of evil that is greater than any enemy he has confronted in the past.
Set against the backdrop of an Edenic paradise threatened by pernicious forces, James Lee Burke’s The Glass Rainbow is already being hailed as perhaps the best novel in the Robicheaux series.

Also, I thought Alafair's trust of her homosexual ex-boyfriend was a little too much, especially after learning that he was homosexual. Why would she not only let him get into her car, but let him get in behind the wheel and take her keys!. Anyway, that part of the story seemed an afterthought that conveniently paved the way to the ending. And, yes, I thought the science fiction-type meanderings were just too much and well over the top. That stuff should have been written in a novel of the scientific genre.
On the whole, I enjoyed the novel although it did deviate from the plot too much. The deviations were mini stories in themselves. But the writing and performance was top notch that it held my interest throughout. I was in the story and wanted to know what happens next.
I am a Burke newbee. When compared to other novels of this thriller/mystery genre, this Writer is by far the best and easiest that I've found to listen to for 12 to 15 or more hours. If you like well written literature, then you will like Burke and Patton!
Great Writing, Good Plot... But.....
