Killer Summer Ridley Pearson GP Putnam's Sons ISBN: 978-0-399-15572-7 Fiction, Thriller Reviewed by Kate Greenwood

New York Times- bestselling author, Ridley Pearson, releases another compelling summer read, Killer Summer. Continuing the Sheriff Fleming series, Pearson’s new thriller takes place in bucolic Sun Valley, Idaho. With an accurate portrayal of this rural eastern Idaho resort town, the reader is somersaulted into an elaborate heist reminiscent of Ocean’s Eleven or The Italian Job but with a serious twist.

Sheriff Fleming was enjoying a simple afternoon of fly fishing with his nephew, Kevin, when the fast paced story takes off. Involving an elite wine tasting, expensive jet and a rebellious teenager- oh, and a western thriller is not complete without a rogue cowboy, the reader will appreciate the diversity of characters and relationships. Family dynamics and the reality of our current economic crisis play a significant role in this story. And though, the likable and smart Sheriff Fleming solves the case, Pearson leaves the door open for the reader to anticipate futures crimes and investigations and the continuation of this series.
