House of the Rising Sun by James Lee BurkeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Burke's House of the Rising Sun is remarkable in that it contains two female protagonists possessed of complex, but understandable, motivations. Long-time readers of Burke will easily recognise the third and final act (nothing wrong with that: it works, and it works well), but the first two are built on a studied emotional subtlety that is sometimes missing in Burke's ever-expanding library. New readers and long-time fans should find this a very satisfying read.
