A teenager is attempting to kill a rattlesnake with a weed eater and gets a fang in his eye!
This is a Poisoned Pen Press book that is available in hardcover, trade paperback, and large print. I got my copy from Net Galley for review. This is a popular series, but the first one I've read by Mr. Havill.
He does a good job of grabbing your attention right at the get-go, and you know the story isn't going to be boring when you start "riding" along with Estelle Guzman, Undersheriff of Posada County.
I particularly liked this book because it's based in New Mexico. The county, town, and businesses are all fake places, but the terrain doesn't change. And the death Estelle finds next takes place in an arroyo. His descriptions of travelling across the desert are accurate and his characters are typical cowboy ranchers.
The fatal accident turns into homicide, and the hunt for the truth takes them back five years in time - with no real proof of what happened.
It's a reasonable plot and you can learn something about desert life if you read this book. It's available now at your local bookstore. Check Mr. Havill and this series out. It's a good read.
