Story
It's the week before deer hunting season, as close to a statewide holiday as you get in Texas, and the locals are getting restless. Game Warden John Marlin has his hands full with poaching complaints coming in faster than he can write out-of-season tickets. Then a call of a different sort comes in. A man dressed up in some sort of deer costume has been shot at the Circle S ranch, and witnesses are reporting a massive wild-eyed buck prancing about the pasture in a lovesick frenzy.

Story
Detective Parker DuPont turned in his letter of resignation (he forgot to tell his wife) and is just weeks away from officially hanging his PI shingle when he catches his first case. At first, he thinks it’s a joke being played upon him by a colleague jokester. It is certainly not a joke. Charlie Porter was struck by a golf ball and killed on the sixth fairway of a Riverview, Florida, golf course. Accidental death by golf ball, it is ruled. But there are no witnesses, nor does anyone come forward to fess up to being the individual who hit the ball.

Story
Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden—especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or look the other way—is far from popular. When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in.

Publisher's Summary
This box set includes two mystery novels written by Edgar and Shamus Award finalist Ben Rehder. Included are Buck Fever (first novel in the Blanco County mystery series) and Gone the Next (first novel in the Roy Ballard mystery series).
Buck Fever:
It's the week before deer hunting season, as close to a statewide holiday as you get in Texas, and the locals are getting restless. Game Warden John Marlin has his hands full with poaching complaints coming in faster than he can write out-of-season tickets. Then a call of a different sort comes in. A man dressed up in some sort of deer costume has been shot at the Circle S ranch, and witnesses are reporting a massive wild-eyed buck prancing about the pasture in a lovesick frenzy. Marlin's seen a lot in his years, but this is wilder than he could have imagined: The man in the deer suit is a good friend, and the whacked-out whitetail isn't exactly a stranger either. It's the beginning of a mad, frantic weekend in Blanco County, one that will see a few more men shot, an invasion by Colombians with more than hunting on their minds, and damn near the end of Marlin's life. Ben Rehder serves it all up with a huge helping of humor in this debut comic mystery that will firmly establish him as the funniest crime writer in Texas.
Gone the Next:
Meet Roy Ballard, freelance videographer with a knack for catching insurance cheats. He's working a routine case, complete with hours of tedious surveillance, when he sees something that shakes him to the core. There, with the subject, is a little blond girl wearing a pink top and denim shorts - the same outfit worn by Tracy Turner, a six-year-old abducted the day before. When the police are skeptical of Ballard's report - and with his history, who can blame them? - it's the beginning of the most important case of his life.

2 Great Stories
I received this boxset of two awesome stories in the authors promotion. I had read the Kindle version of Gone The Next a few years ago. So I had read along while listening and the audio was a nice rendition of the book. The narration by Johnny Peppers made the story come to life, also Buck Fever was a fun listen, I would recommend these two stories.

Awesome funny seriously
I listened to this book over 3 days and laughed and cried all the way through both books.
The first story true good ole redneck boys that kept me laughing all the way through.
Gone the next I thought was going to be a tear jerker and it didn’t disappoint but it also had laughs throughout. Both books were above my expectations but I am so glad that I had the opportunity to enjoy them.
I received this free from the author or narrator for an honest review.

Gripping stories, fantastic narration
This set contains two full length mystery/whodunit stories, Buck Fever and Gone The Next. Both were very enjoyable and well written; my favorite is gone the next, the nailbiting chase to find and rescue an abducted girl.
I really enjoyed the narration, too - Johnny Peppers did an awesome job!

Excellent for pleasure listening.
Fantastic performance, interesting story, I enjoyed listening to this box set, a magnificent crime mystery. Ben Rehder injects lots of humor into his writings. Love both books. Johnny Peppers is truly an excellent reader, bringing life into the story. For audio books, both writer and reader have to be equally great for a pleasurable listening.

Enjoyable listen
The first in the Blanco County series. This took a bit of getting into as you were introduced to quite a few characters over the first few chapters, but then the story really got going and the characters soon started interweaving. There were definitely a few mad and crazy characters to keep the story amusing, and the pace of the story was good. A really easy book to listen and escape to.

Very enjoyable
This was my first of the Blanco County books. I firstly have tonsay that I really enjoy Ben Rehders writing style, and coupled with the wonderful narration from Jonny Peppers, you are easily drawn into the laid back style of Ben. However do not be fooled by the light hearted banter between the Game Keeper John Marlin and his friend Phil, as the story cleverly weaves you through John's life and the locals in Blanco County and before you knownit you are up against a drug plot with columbian gangsters.
I love how the Author weaves you through his plots and characters and can still bring a quirky sense of humour to the characters.
I am sad to have finished the first story but equally cannot wait to listen to more.

Twists and turns make these excellent reads!
Two great books! Both are very different stories.
The author keeps you on your toes with plot twists that flow smoothly. The characters are fun and engaging and the narrator does well keeping them distinct! The Narrator does such a great job that when I bought the next book in I pone of the series in digital format, my mind read the whole thing in the narrator's voice! Each of these books is the beginning of a series but they are excellent as stand-alone books and will definitely send you on the hunt for the rest of the series!

Excellent books
Loved the book. New to Ben Rehder books but not disappointed. Both books are so easy to listen to with good humor throughout. Loved the narrator as well. Both books gives you a different story with new characters that hopefully will come back in further books. Now away to listen to another one by Ben. Highlighly recommended listen.
