<<Not a mystery, but close to on-topic. I liked it, but
I think I would have liked it more if I hadn't read most of
Burke's other work -- then it might not have been as obvious
that Willie Burke was pretty much just like Dave Robicheaux.
<sigh> I really like what Burke does, but this
definitely showed a limitation on his range.>>
Sure, Burke writes about himself, the protagonist. But that's
not necessarily a limitation. Any single person has enough
complexity and enough things to tell. Burke certainly
does.Now, repeating plots can get annoying (see Ross
Macdonald).
