About this listen

Life in rural Blanco County, Texas, isn't what most folks would call exciting - and that suits game warden John Marlin just fine. He's happy to spend his days and nights protecting the local wildlife from poachers. But when the tequila-slamming, skirt-chasing treasurer of the local Rotary Club goes missing and his vehicle is found in the river the day after a flood, Marlin finds himself in charge of the search efforts.

At nearly the same time, a nearby house explodes in a shower of drug paraphernalia, and an exotic car turns up stolen from the missing man's barn. Marlin and Sheriff Bobby Garza are soon overwhelmed, trying to figure out how everything connects together. It isn't long before events begin to spiral out of control.

Edgar Award-nominated author Ben Rehder keeps the plot moving and the laughs coming in another spectacularly funny crime novel straight out of the zaniest imagination in Texas.

Loved it. Another good story with John Marlin in charge of another case. Good to see all the other characters back. Story full of humor. The only thing that spoilt it for me was the narrator.

This was an interesting story, lots of twists and turns with a bad guy I didn’t see coming which always adds to the enjoyment.
The author does a good job, I quite like his drawl it fits the story.
I really like the core characters in this series particularly Red and Billy Don, I look forward to seeing what they get up to next.

Enjoyable series
