This
is the twentieth title in the Sheriff Dan Rhodes series, and if you haven’t
been keeping up … well, why the heck not? These are some highly entertaining
mysteries written by a highly skilled author.
BETWEEN
THE LIVING AND THE DEAD is no exception. Everything readers have come to expect
from a Crider/Rhodes tale is here: A nicely rendered rural setting, a wide
range of colorful characters, a nice dose of humor, snappy banter, and a
solidly plotted mystery. The latter includes a couple of murders, drug
trafficking, bull riding, a feral hog stampede, and maybe even some ghosts.
Among other things.
Sheriff
Rhodes is the anchor, the center post to all these goings-on and the one who
will eventually get it all sorted out. Author Crider is the puppet-master who
pulls all the strings on the events that keep Rhodes so busy. Together, as
always, they make a formidable pair.
A
fine series and a fine new addition to it.
Strongly
recommended.
Thanks, Wayne!
