Guilt Trip (Blanco County Mysteries Book 4)

"This guy is the funniest, freshest voice in Texas mystery writing today. His work stands out like a DayGlo parka in deer season."
â€”Rick Riordan, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lightning Thief

Guilt Trip:
Life in rural Blanco County, Texas, isn't what most folks would call excitingâ€”and that suits game warden John Marlin just fine. He's happy to spend his days and nights protecting the local wildlife from poachers. But when the tequila-slamming, skirt-chasing treasurer of the local Rotary Club goes missing and his vehicle is found in the river the day after a flood, Marlin finds himself in charge of the search efforts. At nearly the same time, a nearby house explodes in a shower of drug paraphernalia, and an exotic car turns up stolen from the missing man's barn. Marlin and Sheriff Bobby Garza are soon overwhelmed, trying to figure out how everything connects together. It isnâ€™t long before events begin to spiral out of control. Edgar Award-nominated author Ben Rehder keeps the plot moving and the laughs coming in another spectacularly funny crime novel straight out of the zaniest imagination in Texas.

REVIEWS FOR GUILT TRIP:

â€œGuilt Trip is the fourth in Mr. Rehderâ€™s well-received Blanco County mystery series. He uncorks his latest story, which involves murder and a Texas state senator, using a cast of quirky but believable characters and a crisp, wry writing style.â€ â€”Dallas Morning News

â€œThis series about Blanco County, Texas, game warden John Marlin keeps getting odder and funnierâ€¦But one thingâ€™s for sure: Rehder has jumped to a new level, and Guilt Trip just might grab a chunk of the outsize Hiaasen crowd.â€ â€”Booklist

â€œAs funny as it is suspensefulâ€¦Well-paced, smartly plotted, full of memorable Hill Country denizens and crackling dialogue, this is diverting fun.â€ â€”Publishers Weekly

â€œâ€¦the regional flavor of Hiaasen and the strong story elements of Westlake, with laugh-out-loud moments leavening the strangeness of lifeâ€¦Guilt Trip is a hoot and a holler of a mystery.â€ â€”Flint Journal
