Dave Robicheaux and Clete Purcel are back in Burke's (Creole Belle) newest book, this time at a friend's ranch in Montana. Listeners may miss the environs of New Iberia, but the qualities that made Burke's other books a favorite are still here, especially the battle among good, evil, and more evil with the presence of Asa Surrette, a demonic and seemingly indestructible serial killer. Minimal help from local police puts both Dave's and Clete's daughters in danger, but the female characters are strong and resourceful. Will Patton does another excellent reading of Burke's suspenseful yet reflective thriller. His voice clearly differentiates among the characters with a tone that adds to the listener's perception of each personality.
VERDICT Highly recommended for fans of Burke and of mystery/thrillers set in the American West.
