This box set includes two mystery novels written by Edgar and Shamus Award finalist Ben Rehder. Included are Buck Fever (first novel in the Blanco County mystery series) and Gone the Next (first novel in the Roy Ballard mystery series).
Buck Fever:
It's the week before deer hunting season, as close to a statewide holiday as you get in Texas, and the locals are getting restless. Game Warden John Marlin has his hands full with poaching complaints coming in faster than he can write out-of-season tickets. Then a call of a different sort comes in. A man dressed up in some sort of deer costume has been shot at the Circle S ranch, and witnesses are reporting a massive wild-eyed buck prancing about the pasture in a lovesick frenzy. Marlin's seen a lot in his years, but this is wilder than he could have imagined: The man in the deer suit is a good friend, and the whacked-out whitetail isn't exactly a stranger either. It's the beginning of a mad, frantic weekend in Blanco County, one that will see a few more men shot, an invasion by Colombians with more than hunting on their minds, and damn near the end of Marlin's life. Ben Rehder serves it all up with a huge helping of humor in this debut comic mystery that will firmly establish him as the funniest crime writer in Texas.
Gone the Next:
Meet Roy Ballard, freelance videographer with a knack for catching insurance cheats. He's working a routine case, complete with hours of tedious surveillance, when he sees something that shakes him to the core. There, with the subject, is a little blond girl wearing a pink top and denim shorts - the same outfit worn by Tracy Turner, a six-year-old abducted the day before. When the police are skeptical of Ballard's report - and with his history, who can blame them? - it's the beginning of the most important case of his life.

The first story true good ole redneck boys that kept me laughing all the way through.
Gone the next I thought was going to be a tear jerker and it didn’t disappoint but it also had laughs throughout. Both books were above my expectations but I am so glad that I had the opportunity to enjoy them.
I received this free from the author or narrator for an honest review.

Gone the Next definitely did not disappoint it was well written, well developed, and intense thriller. The story was believable and very factual. The storyline was intense, but I loved how the author used sarcastic wit to break the tension. The author does a phenomenal job in bringing every parents worst nightmare to life of having their child go missing.
While on a case, the main character Roy Ballard, a freelancing videographer, spots a little girl who looks like a missing 6 year old Tracy Turner with the subject of his investigation. Roy does the right thing and reports it to the police but they don't believe him because of his past mistakes. Roy, with the help of Mia, will stop at nothing to find out the truth and rescue Tracy. The story is intense and does not always go as planned, but it is intriguing and kept me guessing and glued to my phone. I could not stop listening. I became too invested in the story and characters. I had to know what happened to little Tracy Turner and did they get her home safe and sound. I received this double book free upon request. I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased review here of my own volition. These books are a must-read/listen.
