Hilarious!

I love all of the Blanco County mysteries! This short story was so funny! Johnny Peppers makes the characters appear bigger than life!
BEN REHDER, write another Blanco County Mystery book!

short, but fun

Any story that has Billy Don and Red in it is going to be fun, and this was no exception. It was a fun read and the narrator brings it to life.

Outstanding as Usual!

Mr. Rehder has hit another home run, this time via a short. Extremely fun and entertaining.

Another great Ben Rehder story.

Great story! Loved seeing Red and Billy Don as the leads in a story.

More fun with Red and Billy Don

It is always good to see what these two are up to. This is a fun story for anyone needing a short burst of Blanco county.

Poor Fred

I enjoyed parts of the story, but Jasmine ruined it. Someone like that who takes a dog when splitting up is just heartless and vile, and I have no use for people like that. I won't waste another second thinking about her wicked evil selfishness. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job.

Narrator: Johnny Peppers
A short and amusing story from the Blanco County series featuring the infamous Red O’Brian and Billy Don Craddock.

Good

I enjoyed listening to Johnny Peppers

This book may be short , but still so good. We have dog napping and still great twists.

A barking story

I loved this book. I normally don't like short stories because by the time you get to know the characters the story is over but that is not the case with this short story and I just loved it. I think it was the right length with a lot packed in. I really like the fact that Red and Billy Don are the main characters in this story because they are such a hoot and are actually my favourite characters. Whatever they plan or try to do never goes to plan but they somehow get away with it. The dog napping was also a nice change from the usual murders that happen in Blanco County but then again any story set there is good for a laugh.
Red and Billy Don are working but gladly put down there tools when there employer asks them for help. His wife won custody of the dog she never wanted in a bitter divorce battle and he wants Teddy back. Can the bungling duo find away to return a man's best friend to him? The wife lives in a gated community and they thought getting past the locked gate was going to be there biggest headache, that is until they see the dog get dog napped.
I liked the narrator, he has read the last few books in the series and I hope he continues with the rest as I like the laid back manner he uses for the voices.I
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
