Reviews"You don't need an invite to the Bush ranch to have fun in Texas. Ben Rehder, whose Buck Fever earned him an Edgar nomination for best first mystery last year, is back."-Chicago Tribune "Fans of Rehder's rollicking debut, Buck Fever (2002), which was nominated for both Edgar and Lefty awards, will welcome the sequel, an over-the-top tale of sex, mayhem and murder in Texas's hill country."-Publishers Weekly "More funny adventures of John Marlin, amiable, estimable game warden of Blanco County, Texas...[a]winning sequel to Buck Fever...characters to chuckle at, yes, but Rehder never forgets he's got clues to furnish and a story to tell."-Kirkus Reviews "A humdinger. Funny, sardonic, and filled with clever metaphors and similes, Bone Dry is as cool and satisfying as a Lone Star beer on a hot Texas afternoon."-Sports Afield "Lots of twists and turns and authentic police procedures...[a] fast-paced romp." -San Antonio Express-News "Weird, wild, and wacky. One of the funniest mysteries of the year. [This] fast-paced novel has a variety of peculiar plotlines that all converge in a wild and memorable ending. Rehder's first book was a finalist for the Edgar Award and the Lefty Award (for the funniest crime novel of the year). His latest effort is in the same category-it's a nifty, hilarious romp that's tough to put down." -Lansing State Journal "Funny...much like Carl Hiaasen's gore-spattered howlers."-Field & Stream "The pace of [Bone Dry] is steady and swift, the tone wry and playful."-Drood Review "Take a novel about hunting, throw in some unforgettable characters, and add a dash of ribald humor."-Abilene Reporter-News
