Book Review of Murder Among the OWLS (Sheriff Dan Rhodes Mysteries, Bk 14) (Audio CD) (Unabridged)

jjares avatar reviewed on + 3270 more book reviews


This is my first foray into the murder and mayhem world of Sheriff Dan Rhodes, although it is Bill Crider's 14th book of this series. The interactions are snappy, fresh and often amusing.; I enjoyed the book.

Blacklin County is again the scene of the caper; a murder occurs in a house a couple of blocks from Rhodes and his wife, Ivy. Crider proves that the folks in a small town are often as eccentric as those in large cities. The secondary characters entertain and drop clues along the way.

Because of Sam the cat, Rhodes finds the dead body of Helen Harris, a retired teacher who is active in a variety of social clubs (including the local OWLS (Old Women's Literary Society). It looks like an accident, but Rhodes isn't so sure. Then he finds that Mrs. Harris is a much more complex person than he thought; arguments and clues start to fly.

I listened to an audio version of this novel; reader George Guidall added so much to this book!
