Query: Comic Portrait of the Real East Texas

Crider knows East Texas--especially small towns. From the outset of this story the reader can delight at this caricature of small towns all over the USA. When the high school football playoffs are at stake in Blacklin County, murder is called in the huddle. Of course the huddle takes place at the local greasy spoon over cups of bad coffee. Not only does Crider win us with his characteristic down-home wit, but he manages to give us a laughable picture of the way smalltime sports have taken over the hearts and minds of small towns everywhere. WINNING CAN BE MURDER is one of the most readable Sheriff Dan Rhodes mysteries yet. If you like good clean murder, read Crider. He provides a winner every time.
