Publisher's summary

An unidentified wild creature is on the loose in Blanco County, and, over the protests of game warden John Marlin, the locals have convinced themselves they're dealing with a mythical vampirish beast called a chupacabra. It doesn't help Marlin's cause when a dead body turns up with a fang-like wound in its neck. Then things really get out of hand: tabloid news programs invade Blanco, good old boys Red O'Brien and Billy Don Craddock develop a cockamamie get-rich-quick scheme involving the animal, and everyone is a little surprised at the booming population of voluptuous Chinese dwarves who've turned up in town. If anyone can make sense of the strange events, it's John Marlin, who's well-versed in the intricacies of small-town life, Texas style. But can he do it before another body turns up?

Classic Ben Rehder.......so-so narrator

Would you consider the audio edition of Flat Crazy to be better than the print version?

No, the narrator just doesn't get the character voices right.

What didn’t you like about Robert King Ross’s performance?

Not much. He has a nice reading voice but his voices for the characters all sounded the same. Billy Don and Red should have very different voices. Ross has them sounding the same. I had to actually listen for the " Red said" part to know who was speaking. Same thing for Marlin and all the others. Everyone sounds pretty much like the same voice.

Any additional comments?

Like any of the other readers better than this one. Good book, not very good narrator.

Needs to settle on ONE Narrator

Any additional comments?

I've really been enjoying this series except for the fact that there is a revolving door for narrators. I am NOT enjoying this guy at all. He makes Marlon sound creepy. And then to my dismay, I see that he's narrated most of the rest of the series.

Another great mystery

Loved the storyline. looking forward to listening to the next in the series. My only complaint is the change in narrarator. He did well, but it was hard to get into the story because of the change

Good book. Flat performance

Fun books. Good writing, good story. The reading was about as excited as a wet dish towel.

This was another good time in Blanco County.There are fake mounts being sold and murder to cover that up. Dwarf porno films are a big thing until the little king needs a bit of help from big antlers!Robert King Ross was a good narrator.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.'

Flat Crazy

So many murders and crimes in this book that my head was spinning! Watching as the craziness of this town tried to solve these mysteries was fun and the way they all wrapped up in the end was just right. I’m really liking this series so far and will be listening to more in the future.

Good book for men

The book was actually good and well presented. Would probably be better suited for men. Reminds me of a most the men where I live and the characters are spot on for the way some talk and act. Has just the right amount humor. Being from south Arkansas, most men and some women love their deer hunting! Would recommend it.

Great characters, solid mystery... and funny

Another strong delivery from Rehder combing a solid mystery with humor against a backdrop of small town life in Texas, all while examining important societal issues.

Stands alone, but better as part of the series.

I received this audiobook for free in exchange for a review.

Another wonderfull Humorous Mystery Story

This is the 3rd book in the series following a Wildlife Officer and the various characters he runs into and the mysteries they are involved in.
This is a good Humorous page Turner story that are a Wounderful breakaway from intense books.

Crooks, thieves, and cover ups. The villain sermed to have no conscience at all
It amazed and surprised me that Red and Billy Don had some good in them, and felt the need to help save Marlen. But by the story's end they were back to their old shenanigans again. What an unsatisfying death for the villain - I needed him to suffer more.That was too easy a way out. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job.
