Book 12 of 2012 – Feast Day of Fools – James Lee Burke
Ok so looking back through my Goodreads.com bookshelf, I see that I read my first James Lee Burke book, The Neon Rain and was introduced to the world of Dave Robicheaux in 1990! And now 22 years and 17 books later, I still can’t wait for the next book Creole Belle which is due out in July! In the meantime, Book 12 for 2012 Feast Day of Fools is book three in another of Burke’s series featuring Hackberry Holland, and I must say that this series is just as good, if not better than the Robicheaux series! Hackberry Holland first appeared in Burke’s 1971’s Lay Down My Sword and Shield and didn’t appear again until the release of Rain Gods last year! Holland is the sheriff in a small southern Texas border town and in this book he faces some pretty nasty villians! From Burke’s website:
