Blanco County Mysteries, Book 13

De: Ben Rehder

Narrado por: Johnny Peppers

Safari Adventure is a small but popular zoo that entertains visitors from all over Texas - until one morning when most of the animals escape and a body is found on the premises. Game warden John Marlin works closely with the sheriff’s office, at first to capture the animals, and then to solve the mystery of the missing zookeeper. But local good old boys Red O’Brien and Billy Don Craddock just might figure it all out first, after they pick up a hitchhiker with a questionable past and some inside information that makes him a prime suspect.

There's a weird horse in the road . . .

This tale adds a whole new side to life in Blanco County. It begins with someone calling in about a zebra and Red and Billy Don fighting over whether or not to pick up a hitchhiker.

While law enforcement is busy gathering animals from the small exotic zoo whose gates were left open, Red and Billy Don are getting to know their hitchhiker. It turns out the zookeeper has been in hiding because of something that happened a long time ago, but somehow he's been identified so he has to go on the run again. A complicating factor is that the body found in the zoo is not known to any of the locals.

These multiple story threads work together very well and each story gets plenty of attention, as do the new and peripheral characters. I just love this series with it's humor, slapstick, drama and good old boy fun!

Another Fantastic Ben Rehder production.

Slowly but surely Red and Billie Don have taken over the Blanco County mysteries but that is okay. I used to think I wanted to grow up to be John Marlin but I realized that I am actually closer to Red and Billie Don. These novels are hilarious and fun. My only complaint is that Ben Rehder doesn't write nearly as fast as I read or listen.

Another hit!

Great as always! Red and JW always make me laugh! Lord — they can take a simple situation and and just imagine Their own minds solution to the situation. Usually they are 360 degrees in the wrong direction!

This was really interesting

Lots of twists and turns in this story. The Characters were well developed and we'll represented. I def enjoyed it. The Narration was done very well too.

Intriguing listen

In all the crazy in this story, I felt empathy for many of the characters. Garrett was definitely one of them. He was wrongly judged by many. Albert was just a hapless victim of circumstances and already paid his debt imo. and he deserved peace. Some people were just too evil to make it out alive ir unscathed. Marlen and all his close call so far are giving ne heart attacks!! What an ending! I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.
