New York Times best-selling author James Lee Burke's Dave Robicheaux novels began with this first hard-hitting entry in the series.

In The Neon Rain, Detective Robicheaux fishes a prostitute's corpse from a New Orleans bayou and finds that no one, not even the law, cares about a dead hooker.

"One of Burke's best." ( New York Times Book Review)

Editorial Review

James Lee Burke just gets better with age—or so I’ve heard. Don’t @ me, but I somehow haven’t yet listened to his Robicheaux books! With accolades pouring in for The New Iberia Blues, 2019 is the year for me to make amends. Where else to start but at the beginning? The premise of The Neon Rain—in which Detective Robicheaux finds the body of a sex worker in a New Orleans bayou and struggles to get anyone to care—feels especially relevant now, when we’re giving needed attention to cases involving high-risk victims and marginalized communities. The fact that it’s narrated by Will Patton just sweetens the deal, because he’s often considered the definitive voice of the series. That's more hearsay—for now! —Kat J., Audible Editor

I've had this in my library a while, waiting for the right mood to strike me to listen to it . . . wow!!! What the heck was I waiting for??? This audio book, narrated by Will Patton, just about tops the list of books I've listened to . . . I do love this genre, cops, good versus evil, set in the south, good mystery to solve . . . but this one just has the right "magic" . . . I can almost see and taste New Orleans as I listen to Will Patton's voice . . . and it's so much more than the sleazy strip joints and bars . . . Now I HAVE to listen to more in the Dave Robicheaux series . . . so glad I didn't miss this one!

Cajun Cop Thriller with GREAT Story Line

Burke creates a wonderful sense of place, and I like the flawed philosophical Robicheaux, but the book is too black and violent for my taste. Burke writes beautiful prose, but I am afraid that I am not able to enjoy this series as I'd like to.

Wonderful Writing but Violent

Dave Robicheaux is rough and tumble detective in Louisiana who runs into trouble with some of the locals. This first book in the series really builds Dave's character and delves into his past which helps us to understand why he is the person he has become.

Parts of this story are gory and not for the faint of heart. A fairly fast paced listen and Will Patton does a good job with the character development.

As it goes in the Bayou

James Lee Burke writes as good a mystery as any author. Will a Patton’s narration only made The Neon Rain more enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Great Narrator; Great Author

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Though sometimes implausible, the plot is fast moving and Robicheaux is a likable flawed, but earnest character.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

This books would make a fantastic movie with lots of car action scenes. I wonder why it is not a movie???

Bayou skills vs New Orleans crime

The narrator was very good at dialogue, making each person distinguishable, and fitting their personalities, but overall I did not enjoy it because it was just too violent and pointless for my taste.

good performance; content not my cup of tea

The narrator's voice brings depth and movement to a story that lies in the shadows of the mossy covered trees of the deep south. Hot and sticky like an August night.

Awesome voice for a moving story
