It'll Keep You Guessing Till The Very End...

The Devil's Hatband is my first Robert Greer novel. A friend who reviews for a California-based magazine told me about him since she knew I'm interested in the mystery genre. CJ Floyd is a character that gets to your heart. I know some folks like their detectives (CJ's a bounty hunter, but you'd just as well call him a detective) hardboiled. CJ is tough but also a thinker. I like that. Mr. Greer wrote a very believable tale about the cattle industry in a time when a comment from Oprah can throw them into an uproar. I never realized how cutthroat the cattle business could be. And Mr. Greer peopled his novel with memorable folks like Billy Delong, Dittier Atkins and Morgan Williams broken down ex-rodeo cowboys whom I hated to say so long to. And Mavis, CJ's on-again, off-again lady who had HIS number but still liked to call sometimes. Fresh, lively and thoroughly entertaining. I'm ordering the other CJ Floyd mysteries.

DEFINITE NAIL-BITER.

THE DEVIL'S HATBAND IS AN IMPRESSIVE NOVEL FROM ROBERT O GREER. GREER HAS A TALENT FOR DEVELOPING BOTH LOVABLE AND HATEFUL CHARACTERS. GREER ALSO WRITES VIVID DESCRIPTIONS OF THE BEAUTIFUL AND HARSH ASPECTS OF LIFE IN DENVER AND SURROUNDING AREAS. THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN CJ FLOYD (DENVER BONDSMAN) AND VARIOUS DEGREES OF LAWBREAKERS WILL COMPLETELY OCCUPY YOUR MIND UNTIL YOU'VE FINISHED THE BOOK -- AND PERHAPS EVEN AFTER THAT! WELL DONE DR. GREER!
