Louisiana at its murderous best!

James Lee Burke is a superb writer of mystery set in his home state of Louisiana.  One really gets a flavor of the state.  In the newest entry, The Glass Rainbow, Burke's detective, Dave Robicheaux gets involved in investigating a series of murders of young women.  Of course, these murders are outside his jurisdiction and using his friend Clete Purcell to help him, is not working by the book. 

I got lost when he began to investigate the wealthy man his daughter was dating.  I probably just read too fast.  The book is a good one, maybe not the best in the Robicheaux series, but still a worthwhile entry.
