On the Southern Literary Trail discussion

I have had this one on my Kindle since it came out. Will enjoy reading this one.

I'll be reading this too. I loved the first two in the series.

This one is fantastic! I love Mick in this installment and Offutt has so much more to give us in this series. He’s got book 4 releasing in March The Reluctant Sheriff. More to look forward to!! I’m happy!

I won’t reread but highly recommend And yay to a new book coming soon.

I’m reading a new author to me, Wes Browne, check him out if you like Offutt’s stuff. Both books set in Kentucky, Richmond area. Page Turner, action packed.

Lori, I'm not sure why I didn't get to this one when it came out, but I'm picking it up from the library today. Exciting that there is another one in the works!

Laura I’m going to check out that new author. New to me too!

Diane, no doubt you’ll love it!

Lori, I started with his newest book and reading his older now. I like that order. Both are on hoopla. They both read extremely fast

Thanks for the info on Book #4, Lori - that’s quite a revealing title for those of us who have read the whole series so far :-)

I had already scheduled a read of this book, anticipating #4 and not wanting to get too far behind. Mick is a lot of fun! I enjoyed this one. Got my first taste of Offutt here at the Trail, he is a great break when you want a fun read.

A gas station named Haneys Tire and Bible. Only in the south!

Great dialogue in this one. "This country's gone to Hell since Johnny Cash died."

I also enjoyed all the "older" sayings in this book. As you said Diane - 'only in the south"

Curious….is it necessary to have read the other books in the series first to track along with this one? Thanks.

You don't have to Carol, but it does give you the background on some of the characters.

FYI: The books are pretty short so, if you want to read them in order, you can probably squeeze them all in in a month.

I started listening to the audio version of this but soon decided t switch to reading it. The chapters are short and, if you aren't paying attention, it's easy to get lost when listening to it.

I was talking to a cousin yesterday. She is losing her sight and depends on audio books so she was asking for some recommendations for mysteries. I told her about this series of books by Offutt and she was off to get them from Audible. I'm so proud to have created another fan!
