Thoroughly enjoyed this latest offering from JLB. Wonderful narration by Will Patton. Dave Robicheaux has to clear his name after falling off the wagon and blacking out after an alcoholic bender. Everyone should read a Robicheaux novel, better still, listen to one.

Score 7.5/10

I’m busy telling everyone to get on and read this novel. It has a wonderful voice in Eleanor. Then there is a bit of mystery about it. It touches the heart strings and made me laugh too. All around excellent debut novel

This novel trots along very nicely. A young man from migrant family reinvents himself, he’s an insurance loss adjuster and his life takes a turn when he arrives to find the client he is investigating hanged. It reminds me a bit of Philip Marlowe character. I’m recommending this one. Oh and don’t think this is a dark novel it certainly has it’s humorous moments.
