Posadas County Mystery

review 1: Another solid entry in a solid mystery series. Love this series and that Havill moves life forward in this book. Can't wait for the next book to come out to find out what is happening in Posadas County :)[return][return]This one has tragedy striking close to home. Estelle has to figure out where a victim of an ATV accident was coming and going in the desert leading to another tragedy. Can she solve the mystery? Of course! With Gastner and Sheriff Torez helping out this is wrapped up neatly. [return][return]Highly recommended for those who love a great mystery!
review 2: Double Prey is a police procedural/mystery, the sixteenth novel in the Posadas County series and the eighth with Undersherrif Estelle Guzman as the focus. The book held up well as a stand alone,... more I didn't know that this was part of a series until I had finished reading it and ran a search on the author.Havill has an authentic writing style that I found appealing. The dialogue is natural and by extension his characters felt genuine, his skill with the dialogue is what makes each character distinct. I liked Estelle's no nonsense attitude, and the glimpse into her family gives her some warmth. Gastner has an old boy quality that makes him perfect as a mentor. The pace is fairly relaxed as there is no real urgency in solving the case. I would have liked a bit more action perhaps. The storyline is linear and uncluttered and the mystery is interesting. It doesn't quite tie up completely, that loose thread is a small irritation though.Double Prey is a fine book, a good read and I'll be looking out for the previous in the series. less
