Best one yet

Really enjoyed the characters and the interaction between them. Ver believable characters and the language.

I am really enjoying this series!

Loved the characters!Quirky enough to be interesting.Howard is my kind of guy!Keep writing Robert Westmoreland!

Highly Recommended

This is a great series of books. Great characters, excellent narration, and the storyline keeps your attention. The only negative is that there are so few Audible books in this series.

Interesting and yet ….

There is a lot of potential in these stories, but three things are irritating. The political nuances, the constant referral to desciptive sex, and now that we’re on the third book, I was hoping Howie would be just a little bit more mature. I love the narrator. He did one of Tony Hillerman‘s novels that I listened to and was totally credible with a native American dialogue.

Better Writing

The author read the reviews and stopped describing vivid sexual acts. He also quit using word like

A fun ride

Interesting likeable characters acting out a fun well crafted mystery set in the New Mexico, the land of mañana. There is nothing to not like about Robert Westbrook's Howard Moon Deer series.

Just not for me

Personal taste I guess. Never really got into it. Perhaps dated, rather monotone,didn’t spark interest .

Love the stories, lose the politics!

I love the premises you conjure up, very unique takes on cops and robbers - kinda unique - BUT…. Really, your liberal underwear is showing! Really? Blaming Reagan for homelessness???? I have no idea where you are from but in New England homelessness skyrocketed when Gov Dukakis closed all the mental health hospitals. 90% of the street people were off there rocker, but now its drugs and the liberal border treatment and drug enforcement.

I started with book 2 of the series
which was a good page turner.
This volume is too full of sterotypical characters to be fun though still a good mystery. I kept hearing music from the first season of TV's Guest Book as it went along.
