Edgar Award-nominated author Ben Rehder's Blanco County comic mysteries have made best-of-the-year lists in Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews, and Field & Stream. The novels have been optioned by Warner Brothers Horizon Scripted Television for development as a cable TV 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.

(A Blanco County Mystery #1)
by Ben Rehder
This is a book that starts out cozy and moves to crime fiction, and on and on. It has some very funny moments, and some just strange. I read the e-book several years
back and thought the audiobook would be interesting. It wasn't a bad way to pass a chilly few hours.
The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed. Johnny Peppers kept the story flowing with multiple voices for the characters. Quite entertaining.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

What made the experience of listening to Buck Fever the most enjoyable?
The distinct Western twang and Columbian accent that Johnny Peppers gave each character was spot on.I could see each person clearly in my minds eye, even the women.Who was your favorite character and why?
My favorite character had to be the 300 lb bumpkin. He had me laughing out loud more than once.Which scene was your favorite?
I got a big kick out of the discovery of vet in the dear costume after he was shot. Or later when he was sent to tranquilize them.... tranquilize one dear, snort one line LOLWas there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I think when the game warden let the poacher slide because he knew the man would use every oz of his kill to feed his family.Any additional comments?
This story was enjoyable from beginning to end. Hat's off to Ben Rehder for a job well done. I'll definitely be reading more of his work in the near future.Highly Entertaining
