Hermit's Peak

A Kevin Kerney Novel

De: Michael McGarrity

Narrado por: Ed J Araiza

Hermit’s Peak is a seminal novel in the crime fiction series that places New Mexico lawman Kevin Kerney in the pantheon with Tony Hillerman’s heroes—while carving out territory that is distinctly his own across the American Southwest.

When Kevin Kerney, deputy chief of the New Mexico State Police, inherits an unexpected windfall of 6,400 acres of high-county land, the last thing he wants to think about is work. But while visiting his new property, he comes across an ailing stray dog that leads him to the butchered bones of a murder victim near the rugged mountain of Hermit's Peak.

After assigning the case to his subordinates, Kerney returns to Santa Fe to spend time with a woman he cares about, Sara Brannon, a career army officer who is visiting him on holiday. But his time with Sara must wait, as he is called back to Hermit's Peak when another body is found at a remote cabin. Now, Kerney must unearth the shattering truth about his new land and follow a twisting trail of blood through the majestic landscape of the American Southwest.©1999 Michael McGarrity; (P)1999 Simon & Schuster Inc., AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster, Inc.

Hermits Peak

very good storyline. was not drawn out just to make the book longer. that was appreciated. Nothing in it was unbelievable. need another book about lieutenant

Not one I’d buy again

Save the time and money and skip this one. Narrator was mediocre, guitar chords between chapters was annoying, plot and subplots were eh.
The book moved the series along, but it’s really nothing you won’t pick up if you skip this one for the next in the series.
Disappointed in the production overall. If you like plain vanilla, this might be for you.

Lose the music

I found the twangy western instruments music between chapters annoying and intrusive. Otherwise not a bad read. Narration was moderately good but suffered in comparison to George Guidall

Excellent book, dismal narrator

Being born and raised in this part of New Mexico, I know every place the author describes and Michael does a superb job in his research and writing! The book is actually much better than this audio version, and I have no idea why this audio book is so condensed and not narrated by George Guidall???
The story is superb!
The narrator leaves much to be desired.
The stupid guitar twanging between chapters is horrific, as are the long silent pauses.
I sincerely hope Mr. McGarrity will some day have this book redone by George Guidall!

Narrator is awful!

What happened to the narrator of the first three books? This guy is awful. No difference between characters and completely flat. If this is the narrator going forward this is my last purchase of this series.
