I don't want to sound overly fussy, but even though I am a
big JLB admirer,
and have read all his crime novels, as well as a couple
literary short
stories and the Lost Get Back Boogie, I don't think Cimmaron
Rose was the
best crime novel of the year. So it's not just me rooting for
another
writer here, but honestly saying that I don't see how this
novel could be
considered the best one. But I will continue to read James
Lee Burke and
enjoy his future work, I hope. This one seemed wrong to me,
though.
However, I join you in offering congrats.
