Ever since Hurricane Katrina ravaged southern Louisiana in August 2005, James Lee Burke's fans have been waiting for this book, and Burke does not disappoint. Outraged and eloquent, the two-time Edgar Award-winner delivers a gut-wrenching portrayal of the storm's ferocity and devastating aftermath, venting through Robicheaux his frustration at the human incompetence and greed that magnified nature's destructive fury. His evocative, heartfelt prose, sympathetic characters, and intricately interwoven plotlines grip the reader from the first page. Burke's admirers will savor this latest installment, while those not yet acquainted with Robicheaux can start here, thanks to the comprehensive background information Burke provides in what critics call his best book yet.

I would not recommend to read “The Thin Roof Blowdown” if you haven’t read James Lee Burke before. I think only die-hard fans of Dave Robicheaux and James Lee Burke will really like this novel. If that's not the case, then I assume you have the heart of a mammoth and can see over the propaganda —pro New Orleans and its people and anti lots of authorities, specially the Bush administration— as something that James Lee Burke “had” to get it out of him and why not use his most lethal weapon, a new novel of Dave Robicheaux.
This is my third book I read in the series and I like I’ve said before, J. L. Burke isn’t just another crime fiction mystery hard-boiled author, I, humbly, rank him in the top five. Robicheaux is one of those characters you just can’t dislike and though the mystery is shadowed by the terrible fate the people of New Orleans had to endure during hurricane Katrina, “The Thin Roof Blowdown” is still an amazing crime novel.
cheers
