Publisher's summary

Every fall, hunting season in Sorenson, Wisconsin, leads to some accidental injuries. Deputy coroner Mattie Winston just hopes the hunters don't bring any more business to her office. But somebody seems to have declared open season on land developers. One real estate developer who's recently come to town has been found dead in the woods, with an arrow through his neck. Now it's up to Mattie to get to the bottom of the killing.

That might be easier if she wasn't also hunting for Detective Hurley's teenage daughter, Emily, who has suddenly disappeared. With a homicidal William Tell out on the loose, Mattie is desperate to find Emily before the killer notches another arrow.

I Love Mattie

This is one of my favorite series. Mattie is funny, intelligent and realistic. I love her relationship with Hurley and the other supporting characters. The mystery was well written and very clever. The worst thing about this book is that it's over and I have to wait for another book to be published.

Best Book of the Mattie Winston Series

This book explores several interesting topics. Dom's secret wish, mean girls, single mother turmol, the importance of commication and ferious love for family. Sounds vague and cheesy but i dont want to spoil anything. Good "road read" for family with teens.

I've really tried

I liked the first two books, but can't put my finger on why I haven't been able to finish the others. I think it's simply that I want more humor, which is a personal thing. The writing is pretty good, I like the characters mostly, and I learn a lot about forensics, but Maddie doesn't seem to enjoy herself ever since the first couple of books. It's all complain complain, as if she expected to get a gift card for having unprotected sex instead of another person.

Disappointed

The audible exclusives were a disappointment, this one being the worst. I could get over Mattie becoming a “pick me” girl, but the 10+ plugs for Amazon within the story were too much.

Great story but….

To much listing items in detail. I’m guessing it’s so the author could have more words in the story but it is ridiculous!

Enjoyable

I have found this to be an enjoyable series, set in a small town in Wisconsin (my home state). It's not over the top with action, or sex, just a nice comfortable listen. I would recommend to start with the beginning of the series though.
