Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
Detective Dave Robicheaux travels to the mountains of Montana to help his best friend and unearths a larger plot that threatens them both.
Oil speculator Weldon Sonnier is the patriarch of a troubled family intimately bound to the CIA, the Mob, and the Klan. Now, the murder of a cop and a bizarre assassination attempt pull Detective Dave Robicheaux into the Sonniers’ hellish world of madness, murder, and incest. But Robicheaux has devils of his own—and they may just destroy the tormented investigator and the two people he holds most dear.

“I’ve been bouncing around with the order. I read the first book and thought it was awkward. I read another book much later in the series and thought it was very odd. But this one felt like the author finally hit his stride.
It was great, it was action packed and interesting and the writing for the characters was so well done. We could be meeting a person whose presence in the book maybe lasts 5 paragraphs but the amount of care put into their appearance, interactions, and mannerisms gives the impression that the author could answer any question you may have about them - that he knows everything about their lives within the context of series.
Dave had so many fun badass and intelligent moments, I found my eyebrows raised and a smug smirk on my face with quite a few interactions he had during his investigation.
My only complaint is that there was so much plot. There was SO. MUCH. PLOT. I was totally locked in from chapter one, and I appreciate the way the chapters are written in multiple parts (it’s great for my adhd brain) but I would get exhausted after 20-30 pages and would need to take a break. Overall I really enjoyed it. I would love to see this one adapted to film (especially nowadays)”
