About this ebook

Between a fishing tournament and a biker convention, Doc Osborne and Police Chief Ferris are spending less time catching bass and more time catching crooks...

For fishing pals (or are they more than just pals?) Doc Osborne and Police Chief Lew Ferris, Loon Lake, Wisconsin, is usually a great place to seek out some mutual solitude in the trout stream. But lately, the town has been teeming with competitive bass fisherman and bikers, too many less-than-savory characters. Meanwhile, there's an old murder case Doc's bent on solving even as he himself is stalked by a mysterious visitor.

    This is the fourth book in the Loon Lake Fishing Mystery series and I’ve become rather fond of this little town and its residents as I’ve been reading through the series. They are very likeable and easy going people that are fully developed and which really hold one’s attention…at least that’s the way I feel about them. This particular mystery centers on a biker convention that has drawn a large number of bikers (naturally) AND a fishing tournament, both of which have drawn crowds to the small town. Most of them are nice…but a few are not and that’s where Doc. Osborn, Chief Ferris, and Ray find themselves knee deep in a murder mystery when they’d rather be knee deep in a river fishing. I have to admit, for a sleepy little town, Loon Lake sure seems to have a lot going on! Aside from the somewhat silly idea that SO much happens here that warrants the deputizing of both a retired dentist and the local color (in the form of Pradt - a one time trouble maker turned expert guide) and solving at least one BIG murder/smuggling ring every couple of months, I really do like the characters and feel of this series. Its nice light reading that still manages to be both interesting and keep me mostly on the edge of my seat. I still love the age of the characters, it’s nice to see people over 40 being the hero, instead of the young, hot 25 year old…don’t get me wrong, those are fun too…but you don’t get middle aged all the way up to retired people in the murder-mystery/thriller genre too often anymore. Nice change of pace. Dead Frenzy has good pacing, interesting details and is just plain fun to read, I give it an A-, it’d make a nice read for several afternoons curled up on the porch.
