About this listen
When a county employee is found shot to death in sun-drenched daylight while sitting in his county road grader, Undersheriff Bill Gastner is faced with puzzling questions. The simplest explanation - that an errant bullet from a careless target shooter’s rifle blew out Larry Zipoli’s brains - is soon discarded as inconsistencies surface. The fatal bullet shows no rifling marks, and investigation shows that the shooter walked directly toward the road grader, in full view of the victim - who did nothing to defend himself.
In addition to the demands of the investigation, Gastner learns that Sheriff Eduardo Salcido has hired a new deputy without discussing the matter with his undersheriff and that the new hire is destined to be the first female road-patrol deputy in the history of Posadas County.
Thus begins Gastner’s relationship with Estelle Reyes, whose shrewd observations shed important light on a crime that reveals all kinds of skeletons lurking in Posadas County closets.
Steven F. Havill is the author of more than twenty novels set in the American West. He taught in secondary schools for twenty-five years and recently earned an associate of applied science degree in gunsmithing. He lives with his wife, Kathleen, in New Mexico.

Nothing ever changes in Sanders. The town's still got a video store, for God's sake. So why doesn't Eli Teague want to leave? Not that he'd ever admit it, but maybe he's been waiting - waiting for the traveler to come back. The one who's roared into his life twice before, pausing just long enough to drop tantalizing clues before disappearing in a cloud of gunfire and a squeal of tires. The one who's a walking anachronism, with her tricorne hat, flintlock rifle, and steampunked Model A Ford.

It's been said that all great literature boils down to one of two stories—a man takes a journey, or a stranger comes to town. While mystery writers have been successfully using both approaches for generations, there's something undeniably alluring in the nature of a stranger: the uninvited guest, the unacquainted neighbor, the fish out of water. In the newest collection of stories by the Mystery Writers of America, each author weaves a fresh tale surrounding the eerie feeling that comes when a stranger enters our midst, featuring stories by prolific mystery writers.

This was a good book even though it bogged down with all the intricate gun info. I like the characters and especially Sheriff Gastner - makes me wish he would take care of himself.

Good story, very good narrator
The beginning was a bit slow to catch my serious attention but I’m glad I kept listening. This the first of this series I’ve heard and I was sorry to learn the rest are narrated by other narrators. I find it difficult to want to follow characters when their voices change between books.

Justice prevails,
If you could sum up One Perfect Shot in three words, what would they be?
Newbie comes thru!
What other book might you compare One Perfect Shot to and why?
I can't think of a book that this resembles.
Have you listened to any of Ray Porter’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Ray Porter!
This story was a little slow to develop, but worth the effort. Ray Porter is a talented narrator and a great listen. I worry that the under sheriff sleeps too little and eats too many burritos. Love the setting in New Mexico.

SLOOOOOOW!!!
What disappointed you about One Perfect Shot?
I kept waiting for something to break apart from a mundane investigation but that's all it was, mundane
Would you ever listen to anything by Steven F. Havill again?
No
What about Ray Porter’s performance did you like?
I have listened to many audio books read by Ray Porter all of them wonderfully performed including this one. He was the only shinning moment of this book.
