Sheriff Dan Rhodes

review 1: Bill Crider's books never let me down and I truly enjoyed this latest effort in the Sheriff Dan Rhodes series.We have Hogs. We have feral hogs, which for anyone that has ever lived in a state with the over-population of Javelinas know is a nightmare in itself. Then there are Hogs which are a fond name for some fantastic motorcycle adventures. Then there is Barbecue and are we ready for some delightful foods.All the above and more is found in this easy reading, fast-paced adventure set in Texas.I really do not wish to say to much more as I want you to enjoy reading this novel. I will say, I'm so ready for the next book to come out!
review 2: It has been a long time since I’ve read a Bill Crider mystery. According to the reading log I keep at Goodreads, it has ... morebeen since 2003. That's too long.It should be noted that I am not a good mystery reader. A good mystery reader carefully follows the plot of a mystery, especially the small twists and loops. While reading mysteries, I often miss parts of the plot that turn out to have great ultimate significance. And I, a natural skeptic, am always annoyed when small towns (mysteries---who knows why?---often take place in small towns) experience frequent casual murders. That said, I loved this mystery. No, I didn’t follow the plot very well and, yes, two wild-hog-related-murders took place back-to-back in this little town, but, for me, the ultimate test of a good book is the characters and the characters in this story were fabulous. The character of Soppy Benton, in particular, seemed so real that I almost feel like he is someone I know personally. Delightful story. less
