3.0 out of 5 stars book was ok

the driver came up on the porch and left the parcel right under the door bell did not ring or knock I watched him from the kitchen window.I read the book right to the end it was a bit plodding here and there but the overall storyline was good. I liked the dog, Happy and the characters Tyee and Big Jack. I would read something by this author again but would hope that is would be less plodding and the author did come up with some odd things about people's diplomas.I don't think Sue is qualified as a forensic assistant.

Was an interesting read up until this ex-cop decides he'll take responsibility for someone in mortal danger rather than refer the person to a known and reputable local police force.

That's just stupid.

I could not get past that and quit reading.

Retired sheriff Ray Pacheco is living a hermit's life in his remote cabin when he decides to take up fishing. And then Happy the dog shows up at his cabin one morning. Thus begins an excellent tale of greed, murder, thrills, and even love.

These characters are real people. I felling in (speaking of) love with almost all of them. As I'm reading, I'm struck with people with a past and flaws but still desiring to do right. There is a sense of redemption and restoration. One can almost believe that not all government officials are corrupt. I know that's a fairly cynical view, one fostered by news media's vested interest in showing only the bad.

This book was a joy to read, and I look forward to many more adventures in the series.

Quirky characters that are always on the side of right versus wrong. Good storytelling and easy read! And, of course, a dog! Gotta have a dog!

I liked the development and surprises in the back stories of the supporting characters, and the plot twists as well. Well written and plotted. However, the protagonist uses his "Good old boy" network a bit to frequently to solve issues. I would have liked to have seen other devices for surmounting obstructions. Likewise, the villains too obviously warped and twisted types, it would have been more interesting if they had been portrayed more subtly.
