The Tin Roof Blowdown - Dave Robicheaux, Bk 16
Author: James Lee Burke
I wanted to wake to the great, gold-green, sun-spangled promise of the South Louisiana in which I had grown up. I didn't want to be part of the history taking place in our state." That sentence wouldn't be out of place in any of Burke's Dave Robicheaux novels, all of which have been distinguished by their elegiac tone, but it's only fitting that...  more »

This story takes place in post-Katrina New Orleans. Some events which probably actually took place are woven into the story line. Dave Robicheaux is on the trail of looters, a murderer, and a vigilante - while being hunted by a hitman.

Absolutely amazing. I felt as though I had been through the emotional ringer of Katrina first-hand, even though of course I hadn't. The damage left, both physical and psychological, was aptly approached and examined through the eyes of his deeply flawed characters. Amazing.

I love James Lee Burke and his character descriptions are always very good but in this particular novel we get a first hand description of the devastation of New Orleans.It was a personal analysis of the effect that hurricane had on the inhabitants of New Orleans. I thought it was a little difficult to get into but once in there I was a prisoner until I completed the book.
