A JMG. Missouri County Appointed Sheriff Novel Surrounded By Mystery, Murder and a Plot Against the United States
JMG. has. penned, I think, the best mystery of those he has composed, a novel about a man who was a big time marketing whiz who fell in hard times, was divorced with three children and had returned to his hometown to raise his three daughters. He purchased the local newspaper and his primary reporter was himself and an older man with a dividing wand. The two stumble over a hidden crime and the bodies begin to fall. This is excellent read for the genre.....DEHS

Everyone does and story ends in th middle of a sentence, then nothing. Will not read book two if there isone.
A waste of my time reading. 14 million re words required or some reason that make sense. Oh well one more word

Enjoyable short story
This was a quick easy read. But it was another good one by the author. It took me a little longer to get into it versus another by him I read however it did pick up the pace. I would read more by the author

Not sure why I liked the book
But I did. I think it's because the author is a good storyteller. It's not filled with useless descriptions of the landscape. Just a good story. Funny, he doesn't develop the characters deeply but I still felt an emotional reaction in some cases.

Winfield County by John McGauley
Another mystery novel well written by McGauley. There is so much happening at the Sheriff's Dept it makes you dizzy to keep up.

Great Read
Excellent story with great characters and compelling plot. I couldn’t put it down until read all the way to the end in one sitting.
