Ravaged by time and abandoned by the people who once flocked there in search of golden nuggets, Ragged-Ass Gulch is a ghost town. What’s left is a small, proud, and close pack of people who aren’t looking for change. But change seems to be afoot as several mysterious fires plague the town. That’s where the Nameless Detective comes in...

It's a little too backwoods hillbilly for me. The language is accurately simple, and the story could be a run-of-the-mill true story in the life of any backwoods Southerner.

Not much to see here. Somewhat amusing, but a real plot stinker. You could see it coming a mile away. Maybe more.

I thought that the book was a good read but didn't have a plot that really held your attention. All in all, I still would recommend it to my friends but tell them that they shouldn't expect any fireworks.

Good read

This was a nice light listening without consequences. Nothing to write home about on the plotline, narrator, or entertaining front but the price was right! Keep it coming audible!!

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Pronxini is one excellent writer.you can hardly ever go wrong with one of his books..This one fell a little short..and although it kept my interest till the end..was not a very strong story...Three stars only..

Not too bad...

Once again I was looking for something that was not too long and a little bit different from what I usually listen to which are mysteries. It was OK.

Something a little different

Story reads like a writing assignment. I would give it a C. Tries to be a character study but lacks the character development and too contrived and predictable to be entertaining. Guessed the "plot twist" way before the end. Sorry--read like something I might write.
