Critic reviews
"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

Very disappointed. Boring and I didn't even finish the book.Has The Neon Rain turned you off from other books in this genre?
noWho would you have cast as narrator instead of Will Patton?
no, but the book was so bad I don't know if anyone could have saved it.If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Neon Rain?
A lot of the scenes of what they were eating and the elaborate and useless metaphors.Any additional comments?
If I could get my money back I would.The Neon Rain

Our hero, isn't typical, because he really gets banged up at every turn, rarely winning the fight. I found myself feeling sorry for the guy, with his bundle of bad luck, and colleagues turning their backs on him. Just when you think things will turn around for him, someone else gets the upper hand. It's a very interesting story that makes you feel that you're experiencing life in New Orleans a few decades past. The narration is excellent, with capturing the personality of each character, and colorful characters they are. I'm looking forward to continuing the series.
This hero rarely wins his fight.

Would you listen to The Neon Rain again? Why?
Yes - a perfection combination of story and storyteller. I wish all of Mr. Burke's books were available as read by Mr. Patton.Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
I can't get enough of Det. Robichaux and his side-kick, Clete Purcell. Truth be told, I'm a little in love with both of them!Which scene was your favorite?
Mr. Burke's descriptions of New Orleans and surroundings is magical. So magical, in fact, that my sister and I have booked a vacation there this December. You will find me sipping coffee and eating beignets at Cafe du Monde, waiting for Dave and Clete.Addicted to Will Patton and James Lee Burke
