Resumen del Editor

Edgar Award-nominated author Ben Rehder's Blanco County comic mysteries have made best-of-the-year lists in Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews, and Field & Stream. The novels have been optioned by Warner Brothers Horizon Scripted Television for development as a cable TV series.

Life can get a little wild from time to time for John Marlin, the game warden in Blanco County, Texas - but few incidents compare to the stories flying around town at the start of this new deer season. Hunters are reporting an incredible sight: A six-foot-tall, drop-dead gorgeous blonde is roaming the woods, searching out camouflage-clad men with guns and disarming them with powers of seduction the likes of which none of them have ever come across before. Everyone has a hearty laugh at the expense of a few embarrassed hunters, until one of their own turns up dead in the woods. Now Marlin has a real mystery to deal with.

Meanwhile, rumors are spreading about a new Blanco resident, an ex-New Yorker named Sal Mameli who's ruffling feathers with his loud mouth and his penchant for getting his own way, no matter what the cost. Before long, John Marlin realizes he may be the only sane man in town, and he's starting to wonder if he can last much longer himself.

It's just the start of another unforgettable hunting season in Bone Dry, the hilarious second novel from Edgar finalist Ben Rehder.

Interesting progression

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

Stands alone, but better as part of the series.

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

Great story, ok reading

I love the story and definitely recommend reading this book and the rest of the series. However, I didn’t like the recording of this book. You can tell when the reader stopped and started recording again because the volume was different. It was really bad at the beginning and very distracting. It got better later in the book.

murders and mayhem

Humor, violence, action, and lust in the dust. I found the Nordic tree hugger irritating, annoying, and a pain in the back most of the time. No connection. I felt empathy for the housekeeper with that vile boss and his toady son. Many interesting and unique characters. I didn't get to read the first book in this series, but I'm enjoying what I have read. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job.

This 2nd book was a Fun Romp!!

If you want a story about Texas, good old boys, dedicated Game Officer & Local Sheriff and one Heck of a story this is the Audible book for you!!
Good storyline interesting characters and a whole bunch of criminal action going on.
Narrator does a good job with this story.

A Wild Few Days in Blanco County

This book almost lost a star because of a few scenes in the book - one of which was a takeoff of a famous scene from The Godfather. There was a lot going on in Blanco County - hunters being harassed, people getting killed, explosions, sheriff deputy being held hostage, romance - just to name a few at the beginning of this year's deer season, so much in fact that the game warden got pulled into helping the police figure out what's going on. Besides those few scenes I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to listening to another one.

Bone Dry

A mystery that has so many pieces it takes a while to solve. This was a fun listen with really good narration.

Hilarious. This series is addictive.

This is for fun, not greek tragedy, and it is an awful lot of fun. A million little threads all get pulled together by the end and keep you cackling all the way through.

Bone Dry

I totally enjoyed this book!The jokes,the deer,you name it,it is redneck fun. a body is found. There is cockiness from the Menelli clan. Jordan Murphy was a wonderful narrator.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.'
