I've read all the Max Addams mysteries, and they Just keep getting better. As an avid flyfisher, I was taken by the fishing, and as a mystery lover I was guessing who would turn up dead next. So grab yourself a Loon Lager and enjoy this book!

Liked the main character, loved his fishing
lodge, Stormy the cook is great. Would l like her recipes. Loved the dog. Hope to
read more about Spotter. Hated the girl friend
Plan to read other books by this author,even
though I skipped the flyfishing details; the story
was still interesting.

I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how good this book was. Originally I picked it up for a quick read and was not expecting much more than just that. This book however is well written and the characters are so well defined and developed that I found myself thinking how neat it would be to know any of them in real life. The story is well balanced between flyfishing, nature and mystery. I will say overall a very good read. I will be reading the other books soon.

A relative of mine suggested this book to me since I'm an avid fly fisherman. It looked interesting, but little did I know what I was in for. I didn't know anyone could get published for writing such absolute garbage. How can an author butcher so many cliches and stereotypes in so few pages? The sorry attempts at steamy romance (ala Harlequin) were enough to gag me. It's painfully obvious that the author is trying to live out his fantasies through his characters. Grammatical errors throughout the book made me want to mark it up with red pen and send it back to Mr. Leitz to reprint.
