This fifth installment of the DreadfulWater mysteries is the best so far. It combines a good amount of the fun banter of the unique town folk with a good story, and a conclusion to the Obsidian murders that have haunted Thumps through the previous four books. King’s humor is apparent throughout with observations such as:
“Why do lawyers look like psychopaths?”
“Because they don’t want to look like politicians.”
All the characters are here in this one, especially my favorites, Moses Blood and his grandson, Cooley Small Elk.
This is an easy to read, page turner with a nice finish. Thomas King has become one of my favorite writers. Thank you, Sir.

Not really a murder-mystery person, but this was ok. It was an easy read and I liked the quick-ish pace of the book. Would I read another Thumps DreadfulWater mystery? Mmmm.. maybe.
