Read an excerpt
We
straddled barbed wire in a low-slung section of the fence and tramped toward
the cabin pitched above the languid, black-water river, stained dark by tannins
of vegetation. Along its banks, the sugar loaf knees of cypress trees rose up
out of the water. An idyllic spot, if you loved pines, mossy oaks, solitude,
and an occasional water moccasin basking on a stump. Lord, it was quiet out
here. A quiet broken only by the gently moving stream, birds chirping, and fish
jumping. In the distance, a mourning dove sang its song of lamentation.
The
dark brown chink-log cabin looked rustic enough. Upon closer inspection, modern
accouterments stood out. A roof-mounted satellite dish turned up to the
southwestern sky, and a surveillance camera pointed in our direction. A deck
had been added at some point and wrapped around the original structure. One
section, with a hot tub, hammock, and rocking chairs, extended over the
riverbank.
Cunningham
owned an expensive collection of shotguns for his frequent hunting trips on the
property. Had he kept them in this house? Probably not. He was an insurance
executive after all.
And I thought
A good read. The cover had me. Red Farlow was/is an easily like able character. W.F. Ranew did a great job of starting a new series with a capable character.
This was a good and fast read. There are twists and turns and a lot of mystery to discover.
Red runs into quite a few other characters old acquaintances, old buddies that bring to light his background for the reader.
As he investigates Cunningham's disappearance more characters are brought into the mix.
With each twist and turn this reader was turning the pages and on the edge of the seat.
I enjoyed Rich And Gone and look forward to reading more.
