A Stained White Radiance

A Dave Robicheaux Novel

De: James Lee Burke

Narrado por: Will Patton

Cajun police detective Dave Robicheaux knows the Sonnier family of New Iberia -- their connections to the CIA, the mob, and to a former Klansman now running for state office. And he knows their past - as dark and murky as a night on the Louisiana bayou.

An assassination attempt and the death of a cop draw Robicheaux into the Sonniers' dangerous web of madness, murder and incest. But Robicheaux has devils of his own. And they've come out of hiding to destroy the tormented investigator - and the people he holds most dear.

Filled with the usual Burke combination of brilliant action and a stunning novelistic theme, A Stained White Radiance will keep Burke's fans riveted -- and win him many new ones.

White Radisnce

Another great book from one of my favorite authors. I never lived Lousianba, but did live in Memphis, TN. The characters in his books bring me back to my brief time in Memphis.

A DISAPPOINTMENT FROM JAMES LEE BURKE

Perhaps it is because I listened to the abridged version, but I felt the story was shallow. Love the reading by Will Patton. Would not recommend this book to others.

No bang for the bucks

To short a story. Not what I am accustomed to in Burke’s other titles. Not as much bang for the buck.

Dave Robicheaux Does What He Does Best

Dave Robicheaux Does What He Does Best


All the color and mystery of old Louisiana, Dave Robicheaux solves the mystery the hard way, as usual.

For me Will Patton is "the voice" of James Lee Burke, so this was perfectly narrated.

Cheated

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I feel cheated anytime I listen to an abridged version of James Lee Burke's novels narrated by Will Patton.

WILL PATTON VS MARK HAMMER

I listened to this abridged version because it was read by Will Patton. I just can’t stand listening to books read by Mark Hammer and he read the full version. I know I would have enjoyed this book more had it been the long version read by Will Patton. They need to have Will Patton redo ALL the books read by Mark Hammer. !!!!!!

Riveting

You can't beat a Dave Robicheau novel. I read the book and then listened to the audio. Will Patton is my favorite narrator of James Burke novels. Burke really does his research!!

I hate abridged books, there is no excuse for this

Would you try another book from James Lee Burke and/or Will Patton?

I love James Lee Burke. I love Will Patton. I had no idea I was getting an abridged book (my fault) but I could not finish it. DO NOT BUY THIS ABRIDGED BOOK

Would you ever listen to anything by James Lee Burke again?

I love James Lee Burke's book and love to listen to them. I will listen to another that is not abridged. I wish there was some way to get my money back for this.

How could the performance have been better?

Do not abridge his books

What character would you cut from A Stained White Radiance?

enough has been cut

Any additional comments?

Please just offer the full version

Great performance

I do not know why this has been abridged. Once again someone decided to produce abridged versions of Will Patton’s readings.
I can’t but feel that this was done out of pure greed by either Audible or the publisher. There is no justification for this.

Abridged

I love these novels but had no idea I was purchasing an abridged version. Wow !!!
Disappointed and I feel like my book credit was stolen why would I want to purchase an abridged version?
