When a Blanco County hog hunter goes missing after a fight with his girlfriend, it's not a laughing matter - even when one of today's hottest blue-collar comedians is a suspect. Game warden John Marlin joins forces with the sheriff's department once again to root through the clues and discover the truth. Meanwhile, two of the county's most notorious poachers - Red O'Brien and Billy Don Craddock - decide to launch an investigation of their own, and the cops are not amused.

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.

Story
Stormy Weather centers on the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew. The devastation of the storm has attracted crowds of voyeurs and impostors to Florida. Drawn by the chance to prey on Andrew's victims, misfits like the murderous ex-con Snapper and the dangerously seductive Edie find easy targets for their insurance scams. They're not prepared, though, when they meet their opposition, led by a hoary ex-governor who smokes toads.
Both hilariously funny and deadly accurate, Carl Hiaasen's novel will take you into a Florida that is far from the frilly palms and pink flamingos of its post cards.

Lucas Davenport had crossed paths with her before. A rich psychopath, Taryn Grant had run successfully for the US Senate, where Lucas had predicted she'd fit right in. He was also convinced that she'd been responsible for three murders, though he'd never been able to prove it. Once a psychopath had gotten that kind of rush, though, he or she often needed another fix, so he figured he might be seeing her again. He was right.

Publisher's Summary
Sean Hudson thought nothing of hopping a fence to dig illegally for Native American arrowheads, spear points, and other artifacts. Did his thieving, trespassing ways get him killed? How else to explain the small pickaxe that was found sunk deep into his skull? Blanco County game warden John Marlin has dealt with these kinds of looters before, so it's no surprise when the sheriff asks him to assist with the investigation. Marlin quickly learns that this case - like the soil at a dig site - has many layers.

It really is incredible how so many things can be tied up to one main case. A murder leads to so much trouble on top of the obvious and watching it all unfold is so entertaining. This book is my favorite one so far in this series.

This story has me all kinds of mad!! So many people got away with crimes and cover ups, that it had me seeing red!!! Avery was an opportunist who moved from one man to the next and seemed to have little to no conscience. Her partner in crime needed a come uppance that didn't come. I'm just furious. On to the next book. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job.

Hope there are more
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I loved the whole series. Start at the beginning.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Billy Don is so deceptively 'dumb' , this showed him at his best.
Which character – as performed by Johnny Peppers – was your favorite?
Johnny Peppers was the best narrator of them all, it's easy to recognize the change in characters before they are identified. Robert King Ross has a great voice but I enjoyed Johnny's interpretation best.
Any additional comments?
Ben Rehder is a great author and his books translate into audio perfectly. I read them all in ebook format, and was thrilled when I found them all as audio.

Love seeing arrowheads laying on the ground., enjoy the rural visit, some of these characters remind me of my brother's cowboy friends and there is a mystery to solve. All these made for a fine story telling weekend. I rated it a 3 because I don't think many listeners will enjoy it the way I did.

As good as always
Cleverly written story with many layers based in Texas with wonderful narration from Johnny Peppers.
Sean Hudson thought nothing of digging (even if illegally) for Native American artifacts, but did his ill gotten gains really get him killed? How else to explain the pickaxe found deep into his skull?
With Sean's friends describing him as a loner, John Marlin struggles to find a reason why anyone would want Sean dead?
Meanwhile in Blanco County a mysterious meat seller with a disregard for private property is making enemies across the county when the inhabitants start becoming very sick, is the buffalo meat the only bad thing making its way round? The likable rogues red necks Billy Don and Red, try to get an apology and some compensation for eating the bad food but they get more then they bargained for.
I absolutely love this series, well worth a listen.

Narrator: Johnny Peppers
An incredibly amusing and enjoyable tale with lots of twists and turns to keep you engaged.
If you’ve listened to or read any books in this series then you’ll be familiar with the regular characters particularly Red and Billy Don who aren’t really good guys but not really the bad guys either, somehow they always end up in the thick of it deliberately or not, their antics and banter gives endless humour that all in makes this a highly enjoyable story.

The point of the matter
I enjoyed this book. This is book 10 in the series and by now you should know what to expect a windy twist take that with have you laughing out loud one moment and the rolling your eyes the next. The usual suspects all make an appearance which just adds to the adventure, especially finding out what Billy Don and Red are up to. The mystery was good and keeps you on your toes as it switches from character to character and feels like the police are investigating two case simultaneously. On to the next adventure.
When a body is discover it doesn't take game warden John Marlin long to figure out the the teenage boy had been trespassing on somebody's land hunting for Native American arrowheads. What got him killed trespassing or a falling out between thevies? At the same time an aggressive salesman is making house calls selling bad meat. One lady ends up in hospital and Billy Don isn't happy about it. Marlin isn't to happy with him after the man won't take no from his wife. With a Facebook page set up tracking the salesman movements one of them is bound to catch up with him eventually. Can Marlin also track down the killer of the young boy and keep his wife safe?I
With this book the author has gone back to the original narrator of the series and while I liked the narrator for the previous books I think Johnny Peppers does an excellent job and I will soon get use to him reading the rest of series.
I was given this free view copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
