L.A. private eye Elvis Cole is hired by popular television star Jodie Taylor to delve into her past and identify the biological parents who gave her up for adoption thirty-six years before. Cole's assignment is to find out their biological history and report back.

It seems all too clear cut. But when he gets to Louisiana and begins his search, he finds that there's something much darker going on. Other people are also looking for Taylor's parents, and some are ending up dead.

And when Cole realizes that his employer knew more than she was telling, Voodoo River becomes a twisting tale of identity, secrets, and murder.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Cole, in his fifth appearance, is in fine form. He's as tough, witty, and clever as ever, and his partner Pike exudes danger like no one in suspense fiction this side of Spenser's Hawk. The series has been nominated for Edgars and has won Anthonys. This installment is every bit as good as its predecessors."--Booklist

There are two narrated versions of this book on Audible. Mel Foster is the best narrator for this hard-boiled detective story set in Louisiana. He understands the characters and setting and speaks in a slow cadence while emphasizing the correct words and hesitating at the crucial time in order to bring out the humor in the story. Do yourself a favor and avoid the Patrick Lawlor version. He is not a good narrator for this particular book.

Excellent Narration

If you could sum up Voodoo River in three words, what would they be?

better narrator required

What did you like best about this story?

The meeting and developing romance between Elvis and Lucy.The setting in Louisiana

What didn’t you like about Mel Foster’s performance?

Flat and dull. No energy. David Stuart is much better with the accents and the various voices.

good story but poor performance.

Mel’s voice of Elvis and young Ben is good, but he Fails to bring out Pike and this is one of the few books that Pike shows his thoughts.
Must listen to the Pike books ,the Watchman, La Requiem and First Rule to really appreciate that Character and how master Crais perceives him.
This story is a good one. Two stories in one, relatives found and evil discovered.
Were my comments of help?

Lucy is Introduced

Love story & sex unusual in series and kind of nice rounding out characters. Elvis and Pike are always entertaining & surprisingly thoughtful

Good Crais as usual

Narrator's voice was too deep. Did not match my mental image of Elvis Cole. The narrator did not do other voices well at all, especially female voices.

Narrator's Voice Did Not Fit the Narrative

This is my second book in the Elvis Cole-Joe Pike series, and I thoroughly enjoy the characters. Take a little mystery, add some humor, suspense, great characters, and combine with a great narrator. It's a winning recipe. The next book in the series has a different narrator. Hope he does as well as Mel Foster.

Enjoyable

Southern Louisiana setting shakes things up nicely.

Mel is the best reader/interpreter of these wonderful books!
Can't wait to start the next!!

This book was well written with great character development (this is my first Elvis Cole read), great story line, lovely finish and THE BEST voice I've had to pleasure to listen to since Michael Kramer of Brandon Sanderson's book.

Too bad they only have 5 stars.

One of the Best

I am reading the Elvis Cole series and Voodoo River, the fifth book is the best one yet (and it isn’t even close). I thought that the first two books were very forgettable, the third was decent, the fourth just okay, but Voodoo River was very engaging. The plot takes a number of twists that you don’t see coming, leading to Cole and Pike mixed up against some pretty bad people. Aside from the action/mystery plot line, there are two other character driven subplots that really add to the story. One is the discovery of Jodie Taylor’s family of origin and the circumstances that led to her adoption, and the other is Cole’s budding relationship with Lucy Chenier, the lawyer. I wonder if Lucy will be like Jack Reacher’s many love interests and be gone and forgotten about by the next book. What I really like about this book is that Crais dialed back his earlier obsession with making Elvis Cole the wise cracking detective noir, and instead let the characters develop naturally and integrate with the story. All in all, this was a great read.

This fifth Cole book is the best yet
