4.0 out of 5 stars
A breakthrough book in the Wilcox series..., January 27, 2005
This review is from: Barbed Wire Noose: A Carl Wilcox Mystery (Hardcover)
Harold Adams's "Barbed Wire Noose" is the best yet of the Wilcox series that I've read. In this story set in a bitter South Dakota winter in the mid 30's, Carl Wilcox temporarily takes over the job of the town cop, Joey, who is ailing with pneumonia. And just before a major blizzard hits Corden, a man named Arthur Foote is found dead with a barbed wire noose around his neck. Carl immediately knows its murder, and he sets about discovering the killer, but his guests, some of whom are suspects, settle in, another man is murdered and Wilcox digs deeper into finding out why. The sadness comes out as motives come to the surface as sons go against their fathers and tragedy divides.
