The Bill Walton Mysteries

By: James Kirkland

Narrated by: James Kirkland

"The world has always loved crime-solving duos, from Holmes & Watson to Woodward & Bernstein to Turner & Hooch. And though there are many examples, a clear void has always existed: that of a charming and loquacious NBA-legend-turned-sports-commentator, and his faithful yet frustrated play-by-play sidekick. Well that vacancy has finally been filled, and my prayers have been answered. So, not only are The Bill Walton Mysteries a delight to read, they’ve also made me believe in God again." (Jason Sudeikis)

"The greatest achievement in the history of Western civilization is this mystery novel starring Bill Walton and Dave Pasch." (Awful Announcing)

Bill Walton is still driving Dave Pasch crazy. In book two of the Bill Walton Mysteries, the seven-foot Deadhead won't let his broadcasting partner enjoy himself, even in Maui. He drags him out of the world's greatest luau and right into a deadly mystery, while an erupting volcano threatens the lives of everybody on the island. Walton and Pasch have three days to solve the murder of one of Walton's oldest friends while calling the greatest basketball tournament under the sun, the Maui Invitational. Together, the two announcers put their jobs, and their lives, on the line for truth, justice, and the Deadhead way

As if it were Bill Himself!

Note: I read the two Bill Walton Mysteries back to back. This review refers to both, since they both hit me the same way.
Both stories content were a good mixture of detective type action and mystery that hold up on their own, But I have to be honest and admit that what really made these books a big winner for me was the wonderful and spot on portrayal of Bill Walton and his eccentricities, in both the writing and the vocal performance! I did indeed laugh out loud more than once. I am now craving more Bill Walton Mystery books and hope it is in the cards. Bills passing really hurt, but these books bring with them some of the joy he was so adept at spreading.
