I’ve had “Crusader’s Cross” quite a while in my bookshelf.
Why haven’t I read it?
The answer is very simple; I wanted to like James Lee Burke. Not even I know why I’d that feeling.
The problem is that 2008 was a rather good year for James Lee Burke. The book “The Tin Roof Blowdown” got ovation everywhere. So the expectation I started to create became bigger and bigger and expectations kill and “Crusader’s Cross” kept looking right at me every time I looked towards my bookshelf.

All I’ve to say after reading “Crusader’s Cross” is that James Lee Burke didn’t disappoint me and that right know I am rubbing my hands together as I am thinking that I’ve a whole new mystery-Noir-world to discover with Dave Robicheaux.

For those who haven’t discovered the Dave Robicheaux series I advice you to start it right away. Do not by any chance make the same mistake I did keeping a James Lee Burke book in your bookshelf more than a year.

Cheers
Cristian
