About this listen
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.

With deer hunting season about to start John Marlin as a game warden is gearing up for a busy week, catching poachers and checking licenses. He had no idea that he would be the one under fire. It starts with a Buck acting strange and a man in a deer costume getting shot. Then a body in discovered in a crumbling bridge and his good friend Coby gets attacked in his own home. Evidence is found and then disappears and all that is before the out of town hunters arrive . Can John and Coby work out what is going on and keep Buck (the deer they rescued) alive until the end of the season? Or will corrupt cops and rich political men stand in there way? And where do the Mexican man come in?
I liked the narrator and thought he did a good job with all the different characters needed to bring this story to life.

Narrator: Johnny Peppers
Ok so this story was full of stereotypes, Columbian drug dealers, corrupt sheriff, wealthy well connected land owner etc but I enjoyed it, it was fun, entertaining and had humour as well as danger.
This narrator does a good job, I’ve listened to a few stories narrated by him and in all honesty now I’d be more inclined to purchase an audiobook that appealed to me if it had this narrator.
Fun and entertaining

The story is set in Texas and the narrator did a brilliant job with all the different voices/accents of each character. I would definitely listen to more of his audiobooks. He really brought the characters to life.
There were a lot of stories going on within the story so, after the first chapter, it flowed really fast with many laugh out loud moments
(I was given a copy of this audiobook, at my request, for free in exchange for an honest review, good or bad)
Brilliant!!!
