Cadillac Jukebox "International Edition"

By: James Lee Burke

Narrated by: Mark Hammer

Bestselling author James Lee Burke returns to delight audiobook listeners who crave fast-paced crime fiction with Cadillac Jukebox. This thunderous and introspective audiobook—the ninth book of the award-winning series—pits the
earthy and robust Dave Robicheaux against forces of law and power far beyond his control.

When a racially motivated murder nearly three decades old churns back to the surface, Robicheaux is confronted by mob bosses, corrupt police chiefs and even dirtier politicians. Despite his efforts to stay clear of the action, he is inevitably
drawn into the center of the conflict as evidence points to the current resident of
the governor’s mansion.

Can Robicheaux uncover the truth and stay one step ahead of the people who want him silenced?©1996 James Lee Burke (P)1996 Recorded Books

The ending

All of his books are great, but this one has an especially good ending. One of the great mystery writers.

Great narrator

The story was predictable and still held my interest. The narrative was exceptional. A fun story that speaks to you if you’ve been to Louisiana.

The language - Louisiana flavor

No one does that colloquial slang better than Burke. And characters…..from Clete Purcell to Mookie Zarang. They stick. And Dave, a flawed man on a journey to become a better man, swimming in a pool of predatory men and women. Thanks Burke.

No denying, Burke can tell a story

AND turn a phrase in the process. His ability to describe a place, scene or person is second to none… Unfortunately, his tone sometimes becomes a little bit preachy and moralistic to the extent I feel I'm being lectured, but that said his books always seem to be both enjoyable and elegant. Wonderful narration, particularly for those of us who are unfamiliar with the variety of Louisiana accents.

clarity

love the stories and the voices the inflections and accents move me most and give me cause to pause
