Crusader's Cross

Crusader’s Cross (2005) by James Lee Burke

A Dave Robicheaux Novel

I have obviously missed a few Dave Robicheaux novels. In the last one I read, Alafair was a little girl. In this one, she is off at college.

A very dark novel. No one with a weak stomach should even consider reading this book.

Dave marries his 4th wife. The guy is a slow learner.

It has some good moments, though. Dave’s friend Clete is still not one to be trifled with.

One of the many things that I like about Burke’s novels is that there is a marked tendency for bad things to happen to bad people.
