When a Blanco County hog hunter goes missing after a fight with his girlfriend, it’s not a laughing matter—even when one of today’s hottest blue-collar comedians is a suspect. Game warden John Marlin joins forces with the sheriff’s department once again to root through the clues and discover the truth. Meanwhile, two of the county’s most notorious poachers—Red O’Brien and Billy Don … Craddock—decide to launch an investigation of their own, and the cops are not amused.

Start reading anywhere in this terrific series and just keep reading until you’ve read them all, like me. Then wait expectantly unti Mr. Rehder writes another one. The characters are wonderfully drawn and likable. Blanco County is the place to go when you want to take a little vacation from the stress of real life.
There are always so many twists and turns for these books in this series and this one is not any different. The characters are great…. sometimes stupid but always funny and the way so many things can all wrap up at the same time always gives me a fun listen.
Format: audiobook
Narrator: Johnny Peppers
Red is convinced that he is yet again a suspect in a murder so in true Red fashion sets out to prove his innocence with his long suffering but trusted friend Billy Don.
Saddle up for this well constructed tale with twists and turns, a shootout and an abundance of sarcasm.
I never get bored with this series there’s plenty of amusement and the characters are terrific.
This review is for the audio book.
This is book eleven in the Blanco county series and it is still as good as the first. This is because I like the characters and I enjoy listening to the trouble they get into especially Red O’Brien and Billy Don Craddock, who should be have been arrested long ago, even so you can’t help but like them. The mystery was interesting and contained plenty of suspects to keep you guessing. The only thing I didn’t like was the comedian, he wasn’t funny just insulting and rude but then again maybe it is an American thing and I just didn’t get the jokes. Other than that it was fun.
A big Hunter goes missing after an argument with his girlfriend. The only clue found is a puddle of blood on the side of the road. Was it an accident or something a bit more premeditated? Game warden John Marlin is once again called in to help investigate. The man had, had a number of run ins with people in the last couple of days, including trying to sue Red O’Brien for a back injury while building the poachers free house. This causes Red and Billy Don to run there own investigation because they can’t trust the cops when they say he isn’t really a suspect. Who will get to the bottom of the disappearance? And will they find him alive or dead? With a famous face in the county who isn’t returning there calls the investigation may prove to be Marlins most difficult case yet.
He narrator was okay but he does have quite a deep gruff voice which tends to make some of the characters sound the same.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
Humorous and entertaining.
Always enjoy this author.
It was nice to be back in Blanco County. Rehder’s characters are terrific…he paints a picture of life in the rural south without being disrespectful or demeaning. Last Laugh has an interesting plot and just the right amount of humor. I love Rehder’s books. I just wish his wife were more involved in the story.
Another in a great series! I will never miss one!
