After taking on both sides of the American firearm debate in Gun Shy, best-selling author Ben Rehder now satirizes the fight between evolutionists and creationists - to hilarious ends.
Game Warden John Marlin investigates the murder of a backhoe operator who uncovered a fossil at the construction site of a new megachurch. Fearing unpopular publicity, televangelist Peter Boothe begins covering the whole thing up - and that's just the beginning.

"With multiple plot lines and characters following those separately, it's obvious the author is expanding his techniques to create a whirlwind of excitement, letting those threads meander and expand, while still bringing them all back together for the finale. Blanco county just gets better." — Alex (4 out of 5 stars)
"With multiple plot lines and characters following those separately, it's obvious the author is expanding his techniques to create a whirlwind of excitement, letting those threads meander and expand, while still bringing them all back together for the finale. Blanco county just gets better."
" Captures the character of the Texas Hill Country like white on rice. Holy Moly is a mystery full of faints and hoodwinks. A quick, humorous, easy read. "
" Rehder is like the Carl Hiaasen of Texas! Discovered that this is part of an ongoing series -- I'll surely read the others. Who doesn't like a fun read? "
" What can I say, I just love Ben Rehder's "Blanco County" Mysteries! "
" Rehder's Blanco County series may be best appreciated by fans of mysteries, and especially those fans that reside in Texas. But the series has improved dramatically from book to book, and has not yet floundered in the predictability that besets so many books written serially. "
" Part satire, part police procedural, completely Texas Hill county and pitch perfect. Game warden helps solve the case involving murder, rare dinosaur bones,and televangelist. Fun stuff, folks! "
" 3.5 stars - I've now read all of Ben Rehder's books and they are consistently good reads. If you like mysteries with some comedic capers thrown in, along with wacky characters and zany plots, then check his books out. "
" Blanco county mystery. Marlin is getting married. Dinosaur bones and freaks complicate the matter. Hefty Billy falls in love with even heavier Betty Jean. "
" Loved this book. It's like Carl Hiaasen in Texas. "
" Started a little slow but picked up as it went along. The book had some fairly funny parts, not a bad read I would look into more books by this author. "
" Another hilarious read from Rehder. He's definitely into Carl Hiaasen territory now, only it's in Texas "
" I enjoyed this in the same way that I enjoy crime novels by Carl Hiaasen and Harlan Coben. The characters are painted in broad strokes and the plot is humorous but improbable. A good page turning read. "
" Finished reading this book. Done. "
" Very funny. Only in Texas. "
" Picked this up as I remembered liking the series and realized I'd already read it, but am rereading it. Entertaining and fun, kind of like Carl Hiaasen in Texas. "
" it's a hoot! "
" Humor, murder, wild life and all in Central Texas. What more could a person want? "
" Light, fun, cute. An easy read that poked a little fun along the way. Definitely going to look for more in this series. "
" Sad that this series is almost over. This one is evolution and religion. He went from light mysteries to skewering social issues. "
