Hi, I am very new to this genre and this list, having just
discovered that I like it. I noticed that this writer has a
series about Dave Robicheaux. Whereas I have read complaints,
the beginning of the series must have been good, or you
wouldn't have kept reading them. Though I like the
atmospheric novels, I have one major hang-up when I am
reading. I hate books that end badly. A lot of my friends get
exasperated with me because I won't read a book if I know up
front that it ends badly, or see a movie with the same
knowledge. Do the Robicheaux books always end on a depressing
note? While I'm at it, I would like to ask for suggestions
for somebody new to this genre. If it isn't too much trouble,
does anybody have a favorite they would like to recommend to
me?
Thanks,
Pam
