Holy Moly

Blanco County Mysteries, Book 6

De: Ben Rehder

Narrado por: Robert King Ross

When televangelist Peter Boothe decides to build a megachurch on the banks of the Pedernales River, he thinks his biggest problem will be a few unhappy neighbors. However, when backhoe operator Hollis Farley unearths a rare fossil on the construction site - a discovery that could lead to plenty of embarrassing Darwinian publicity - the cover-up begins. Soon, Farley is dead, shot in the back with an arrow, and Game Warden John Marlin is asked to help with the case. What he and the local deputies find is a suspect list of biblical proportions: Could it have been the bitter geology professor? The private fossil collector with a somewhat unusual fetish? The minister’s wife who takes the Commandments rather lightly? Or the geriatric environmentalist with a mean right hook? Nothing is sacred in Rehder’s most laughable satire yet, a twisted tale of greed, corruption, infidelity, and, yes, paleontology.

Mystery, humor and heart.

Another strong delivery from Rehder combining a solid mystery with humor against a backdrop of small town life in Texas, all while examining important issues - this time televangelism and morality.

Stands alone, but better as part of the series.

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

Fun Who Done it.

I liked the book. It had some fun twists and turns. and was an overall enjoyable listen.

My opinion

I usually love Ben Rehder’s books and laugh out loud at times but I found this one difficult to follow.
I’m sorry to say I won’t be buying anymore preformed by Robert King Ross. Perhaps with a different author but not Rehder’s books.

Holy Moly

Fossils and religion is definitely a different combination. Then you add blackmail, murder and so much more leading yo a very interesting listen. I have enjoyed all the books in this series so far and will be listening to more in the future.

illusions and delusions

I just totally love how Marlin and Garza work together seamlessly and support each other as friends and work allies. The myriad of other interesting characters add depth and volume to the crazy parade and their antics.The culprit is not obvious as many possible villains have motive and opportunity . Another great mystery, and what a ride. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job with voices and expressions bringing it to life.
