review 1: This is a really high quality mystery series. I accidentally read the third book in the series first but it didn't matter too much. McCafferty brings the Montana setting to life--outdoor lovers (and people who like Nevada Barr mysteries) will love these books. The author is the editor of Field and Stream magazine, and he knows what he's talking about. I really like his characters, and the story moves at a relaxed pace, while maintaining interest. I'm looking forward to reading others in the series.
review 2: If you fish you will love this book. If you like mysteries you just have to wade (pun intended) through all the fish talk. You learn a lot about trout and Montana and more than you want to know about fly fishing. Who knew there was something called whirling... more disease decimating indigenous trout populations? That was an interesting aspect of the plot that when combined with greed and the quest for fame with a little mental health issue thrown in kept me turning the pages. There's also an unlikely hero, an artist and fisherman who happened to be a PI back in a previous life. There's a "femme fatale" who is not so much a femme fatale as an unattainable woman who attracts men like a light attracts moths and is not sure what she wants from life. Some other colorful characters include the woman sheriff and her stalwart deputy, a retired Chicago cop, and there's a Native American tracker as well. I'm ready to read another one in this series. less
