Dean, have you ever read any of Bill's Brady Coyne mysteries? Brady is a fly fishing lawyer/detective. I met Bill (virtually) through his wife Vicki Stiefel, a really good mystery writer in her own right, although she has morphed into writing fantasy/other world type stuff which just isn't my cup of tea. We still keep in touch peripherally though. Bill and I exchanged a few emails and he gave me some great writing tips: A great guy and a great teacher. Losing him so early was a shame.

I'm not into mysteries and the only of his other books I've owned is "Bitch Creek" and I didn't like it.

Yeah, I get it; me neither, though I did read a few of Bill's and Vicki's because we had become sort of internet friends. Never read nor even heard of Bitch Creek. But I have all his outdoor books and have enjoyed them.

I've added the above mentioned writers to my list. Fortunately, I have them in my library.

Any more suggestions????
