On page 238 out of a 332-page book, specifically James Lee Burke's In the Moon of the Red Ponies, I gave up. I don't know if my lack of follow-through is due to hospital lag or not, but I'm giving up on Burke's Billie Bob Holland, attorney at law, series. The first Billie-Bob one I read left me lukewarm. Red Ponies left me several steps below that.
I will, however, remain a devoted David Robicheaux fan.
