review 1: I would give this book 4.5 stars if I could. I found this book by chance and I am really glad I did. My husband's friend (they are both fly fishermen)recommended this book, he bought it and it sat on our book shelf for a few weeks. I picked it up and I was hooked after just the first few pages. The main character "Bowie" traveled to interesting places and met the most fascinating people. Reading this book was like sitting down to a delicious meal - everything was so rich and thought provoking I couldn't wait to get to the next course/chapter. I was sad when the book ended but I would recommend this book to most of my friends - especially my friends that love the outdoors and adventure.
review 2: I was really excited to read more Joseph Heywood after I rea... mored Chasing A Blond Moon, but this book was a real disappointment for me. I think I got about 2/3 of the way through before I just had to stop reading it. I love his large cast of colorful characters. However, I could not stand the continuous cycle of 1. main character meets girl2. main character sleeps with girl, often at her prompting3. main character leaves, regardless of any negative consequencesAND1. main character is in new town/location2. main character meets locals and either a. becomes best friends with them to the point of them saving his life and/or renaming him in their own language b. them being "bad guys", altercation ensues, and main character emerges as hero. Perhaps I will try another Woods Cop mystery before giving up on Mr Heywood entirely. Alas. less
