Bill Maytubby & Hannah Bond Mystery #1
Nail's Crossing
This debut mystery from a fresh voice in Southwestern fiction stakes out the common ground between Tony Hillerman, Elmore Leonard, and Cormac McCarthy. In a remote corner of the Chickasaw Nation, tribal Lighthorse policeman Bill Maytubby and county deputy Hannah Bond discover the buzzard-ravaged body of Majesty Tate, a young drifter with a blank past. They comb Oklahoma's rock prairie, river bottoms, and hard-bitten small towns for traces of her last days. Tate was seen dancing with Austin Love, a violent local meth dealer fresh out of prison. An Oklahoma City motel clerk connects her with an aspiring politician. An oil-patch roustabout and a shady itinerant preacher provide dubious leads. Ne'er-do-wells start dying off. A fluke lead propels Maytubby deep into Louisiana's bayou country, where a Cajun shrimper puts him on the scent of a bizarre conspiracy. He and Bond reunite in the Chickasaw Nation for the eventual face-off at Nail's Crossing.

This book is about a determined Chickasaw nation policeman, William Maytubby, and Sheriff's deputy Hannah Bond, on the trail of a stone cold killer. A dead woman is found and the obvious suspect is a Chickasaw native. But Maytubby senses something is wrong and spends his own time and money figuring out who the real murderer is. The book goes back and forth between the investigation and Maytubby's private life. The plot and the characters meshed together well. The ending was very good.
One quote on a burn ban and arsonists: "If you outlaw fire, only outlaws will have fire."
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me this book.

This mystery is the first book of what I expect will be a series. It's set in Oklahoma and features Chickasaw Nation tribal policeman Bill Maytubby and county deputy Hannah Bond. It reminded me of the Walt Longmire police procedurals by Craig Johnson, but the pace of this book is about twice as fast as the Longmire books.
The two police departments jointly investigate the murder of a young woman. A meth-dealing member of the Chickasaw Nation is the initial suspect, but soon there are more murders and suspects. The plot was a little complicated and there were a few too many characters for me, but I liked this book and would read more by this author. Maytubby was just one of many interesting characters. I enjoyed the fast pace of the book, the action sequences and the colorful dialogue. I even liked the banter, which I usually hate, because it felt natural.

This rural American police investigation is a sheer delight, conjouring characters as credible and a situation as intriguing as you’ll find in James Lee Burke’s Dave Robicheaux series. Here we follow Detective Maytubby of the Chickasaw Nation as he plunges barefoot into a rough and tumble murder manhunt which writhes through the summer-seared landscape of scorching Oklahoma.
In rapid fire, sharp and stylish prose, author Lackey plunges the reader straight into the action. Maytubby and female trooper Hannah tear across the reservation, seeking a pitiless stone-killer. Their interactions are beautifully choreographed, not least her joyful teasing about their different eating habits. The author has brought a half dozen new people into the world and given them depth and precision, and just enough flaws and quirks to make them intriguingly realistic.
Lackey’s writing is not as densely detailed as JL Burke’s. He shows without telling, rarely slows the pace, and the result is that the pages rattle by with alacrity. Comparisons with Cormac McCarthy are inevitable – but Lackey’s writing has a less artificial, more naturalistic flow. He brings a sense of place and time into existence with genuine skill; you can almost smell the burning asphalt and hear the whine of over-worked air-con units.
You also get a snapshot of the peculiar municipal / policing situation without being beaten over the brainpan by tribal politics or social history.
There are a few genre conventions, just to remind you that this is a crime thriller – the corrupt politician, the killer turned stalker, the cross-country chase, the creepy preacher – but there’s also plenty of novelty and more than a few ‘didn’t see that coming’ moments.
This degree of expertise would be welcome from a seasoned writer: it’s all the more astonishing in a debut novel.
When Nail’s Crossing reached its entirely satisfying conclusion, I would’ve bought then next in the series straight off the bat. Except there isn’t one. Yet. Get going, Mr Lackey. I’m waiting.
8/10

Southwestern fiction debut mystery novel! Maytubby and Bond are fun characters to see play off each other. A solid debut. The only thing that really put me off a bit was the Southwestern verbiage with the Cajun flare tossed it. I could never get past it in Season 1 of True Blood either so it's definitely just a me thing. It did take away from some of my enjoyment of this otherwise twisty little mystery. However, I think once you get used to the writing style, it tends to flow a little better but it took me a bit to get to that point.
The author does a great job in making you feel like you're in the Southwest and that was a pleasure for me to envision. Throw in some bad guys, drugs, corruption and mysterious deaths and you've got me! Lots of secondary characters which was a little confusing at times, but they were unique and helped add some spice to the story.
I can see this series taking off once you get into the character flow and into the nitty gritty of Maytubby and Bond's lives. I'm curious to see how the author moves forward.
★★★ 1/2

I haven't ever read a detective book quite like Nail's Crossing. The characters-not only the main characters, but also those that only show up on the sidelines-are wonderfully alive and original. It's rare to find a novel this beautifully written that is also so suspenseful that it keeps you turning pages, and Nail's Crossing kept me up until early morning finding out what was going to happen next and enjoying every minute of it. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

I received a copy of this from NetGalley for an honest review.
As a reader and a writer, I rated this at a solid 4 stars. It's a very Longmire/Justified feeling police procedural that delivers a great thriller/murder mystery. This is very well written and the pacing, along with the world building, carries you right through the novel, from beginning to end.

Thank you to Blackstone Publishing for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!
This is the start to a new crime series featuring Maytubby and Bond. NAIL'S CROSSING by Kris Lackey is definitely different than any other police procedural I've read recently, so that's probably what help my interest. This is one that I can see people either enjoying or not liking.
The story starts with the discovery of a woman's body and they must work together to trace her steps in her last days to find out what lead to her death. Lackey brings us through the scorching landscape of the Chicksaw Nation in Oklahoma.
The characters are definitely more unique than you'd find in most police procedurals. I think that's what stood out to me and made this a more entertaining read. I like when there's a slight variation on these genres. The dynamic between Maytubby and Bond is fun and they play off each other very well. It was interesting seeing the cultural differences between them and how that played a role in them tracking down this killer. I enjoyed Lackey's writing style - the only thing that got confusing was the number of secondary characters. Those got a little muddled together and lost focus on the plot of the story for a little bit.
Overall, if you want a unique spin on a police procedural with diverse characters, then you'll love this new series. If you're looking for something more plot driven, then this might not be fore you. Lackey focuses more on the character development to help the story along (not a bad thing!) This was a solid debut and I'll be looking for book two to see where Maytubby and Bond go.
I give this 4/5 stars!

As seen on The Ghastly Grimoire
Nail’s Crossing is a fast-paced police procedural from debut author Kris Lackey. Set in Southeastern Oklahoma, the novel dips into Arkansas (my stomping grounds) and Louisiana. Some scenes take place in Oklahoma City, in neighborhoods I know well and the locales depicted in this book are precisely why when I received an email regarding it, I absolutely had to read it.
This book is in the first in a series centered around Bill Maytubby, a reservation police officer, and Hannah Bond, a sturdy, no-bullshit female officers from the county. In these two and the many side characters, Lackey proves adept at making his cast realistic and relateable – which is something I find wanting in other books far too often.
The plot of Nail’s Crossing deals with the aftermath of a young woman’s murder and a varied group of individuals that are responsible for her death. By focusing on the apprehension of the criminals, rather than the psychology behind why they killed the woman make this title a refreshing read, especially after all the books I’ve read lately that try and compare themselves to Gone Girl.
I’ve been in a bit of a slump recently, so the fact I devoured Lackey’s book in only a couple sittings speaks volumes to his ability to maintain a constant flow of action. Unlike many books I’ve read where the author refers to stereotypes to depict certain demographics, Lackey’s portrayal of poverty-stricken southerners is accurate. Considering I live in one of Arkansas’s poorest counties, this meant a lot to me. Lackey has given those without voices one within the pages of his novel that, if you’re looking for it, remind readers that we’re our own culture as well (and not by clinging to Confederate rhetoric like the ones of today seem to).
I look forward to more books in this series, that’s for sure. I’d like to thank Blackstone Audiobooks for providing me with a free copy of this book at no charge in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

4 and 1 / 2 stars
Sergeant William “Bill” Maytubby of the Chickasaw Nation tribal police and county deputy Officer Hannah Bond discover the mutilated body of Majesty Tate.
Austin Love a meth dealer who has recently been released from prison is their main suspect in the murder. Unable to locate Love, Maytubby and Bond crisscross the area looking for witnesses, relatives or anyone who can give them more information about either Tate or Love. Some clues or leads are better and more believable than others.
Maytubby even winds up traveling to Louisiana where he obtains another valuable clue.
The truth finally comes out and it’s not quite what the reader expected. This is both a well written and plotted book. I enjoyed it very much. There were times when I got a little lost because of the unusual style of writing, but once I got used to it, it was fine. I am looking forward to the next in the series, if this is going to be a series. Or, the next Kris Lackey novel will do fine as well.
I want to thank Netgalley and Blackstone Publishing for forwarding to me a copy of this great book to read.

Indian country, Oklahoma. It’s hot and dry, and on this day, it’s deadly. Bill Maytubby is a tribal Lighthorse policeman and Hannah Bond is a deputy for the county. When Hannah discovers the body of Majesty Tate, a drifter, she has no idea what kind of a hornet’s nest the investigation will turn into. Finding answers will take Maytubby across three states and put his life and the life of his fiancé in danger. The question is who will be left standing when the final dust clears.
I think this is a great debut mystery/thriller. I certainly hope it is the start of a series with these characters because I really liked them. The dynamic between Maytubby and Bond is really unique. They are not exactly partners because they work for different agencies but they seem to end up working together when the jurisdictions overlap and I really enjoyed their banter and the way they are able to sense what is needed in any given situation. This story does have a lot of secondary characters that are vital to the story but you will need to be paying attention to keep up with it all. The plot line has a lot of interesting twists and turns and the finale had me on the edge of my seat. Overall, I’m really impressed with this one and will be keeping my eyes open for more from this author.

This is a must read for fans of Southwestern mystery. It introduces two terrific characters, Bill Maytubby and Hannah Bond, who despite their cultural differences and different law enforcement agencies, work together wonderfully to solve a murder that has tendrils which wander all the way to Louisiana. There's corruption, there's drugs, there's all sorts of bad guys but what rings true is the Oklahoma setting and the commitment of these two. You get a good sense of Maytubby's life; there's less personal about Hannah but I'm hopeful Lackey will make up for that in what I also hope will be future books. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. This is a winner.

Great story written in a fresh style. The characters are diverse and substantial. I’m somewhat familiar with the setting and enjoyed the detail involved there.

Kris Lackey has written a terrific first novel - I'm very much looking forward to reading many more in the series. Bill Maytubby and Hannah Bond team up to investigate the murder of a young woman in Oklahoma. Lackey does a solid job of introducing the reader to the world of the Chickasaw Lighthorse Police and poverty-stricken rural Oklahoma. Both the lead characters and those playing a minor role in the story are portrayed realistically and with depth, which made me curious to learn more about them. The plot progresses at a fast pace, making it hard to put the book down. I am anxiously anticipating Lackey's next book!

Bill Maytubby is a tribal police investigator. All the evidence points to Austin Love, a man with a long rap sheet, as the killer of Majesty Tate, his sometime girlfriend. But as Bill looks deeper into the case, he finds a lot of extraneous things, including the presence of a smarmy politician and a possibly phony preacher. Thanks to his friends, especially county deputy Hannah Bond, who has had a tragedy in her own family that has marked her forever, he is able to look a lot deeper than the bad guys dreamed he would. Some of the ending comes out of left field, but I'll look forward to the next Maytubby-Bond adventure.

“A harrier sailed low over the river, a snake twisting in its talons.”
Here is a unique voice with an extraordinary mind for detail. Nail’s Crossing has a tone deeply embedded in the sound of the place, rich dialect and pitch-perfect phrases. I had never heard of wafflestompers, possumhaw, hackamore reins, a Texas cross-draw belt holster, or snake waves, but all those things made perfect sense in the telling. As the author says in an interview, “When I think the reader can go it alone, I don’t explain. Action and dialogue should do the heavy lifting.”

Set in Oklahoma, a good debut novel. Sergeant Maytubby, of the Chickasaw tribal police, discovers a body along with county deputy Bond. They search for witnesses who can provide them with any information regarding the murder but some of the clues were just too unbelievable for me. The style of writing had me confused at first and took some getting used to. The book was well paced and was more a thriller/mystery than a police procedural. Thank you Net Galley for my copy.

Kris Lackey's debut novel was fun to read. He made me feel like I was there, running around in the around barefoot on the hot asphalt. His characters are likable and the chase is believable. Being a native of this area and a Hillerman fan when this book was recommended it met my expectations.

Nail's Crossing by Kris Lackey is a murder mystery set in American Indian territory. It is full of Native American landscape. Bill Maytubby is a member of the Tribal police. He is trying to solve a murder. The characters and plot are well developed. Sometimes the use of local accents and native words in the dialog slowed the reading process for me. Overall this was an interesting story and I enjoyed the interaction of the characters with each other.
This was a B&N serial read where a few chapters are delivered to my Nook app each day during the month. It is a good way to read a new author and I always review every book that I read. I recommend this one if you are a fan of Tony Hillerman. There are some similarities.

I had a hard time warming up to this book but it eventually became one that I found hard to put down. It is set in Southeast Oklahoma and the main characters are a Chickasaw Indian Nation Policeman and a local county sheriff deputy. The characters are likeable and there is plenty dialog that is both witty and humorous.
I snagged this book off BookBub and was pleased to find that it is the first book in a new series. I look forward to future offerings.

This novel is good if you can ignore the road numbers and the directions in which everyone travels. You begin to appreciate the talent and intelligence of the main character, but you have to pull out the dictionary for his vocabulary! It’s a romp.

DNF. 40%. I gave it 3 attempts but I just couldn't get into this. The writing is bland and the characters were so uninteresting that I didn't even care enough to skip to the ending.

I am a longtime fan of Tony Hillerman, Craig Johnson, James Doss and others that write mysteries set in the Southwest. When I saw this book as a featured Readout through Nook, I was excited to start a new series. I was not disappointed!
William "Bill" Maytubby is a deputy with the Chickasaw nation, engaged to the beautiful lawyer Jill Milton. When a murder is committed on tribal land, Maytubby teams up with County Deputy Hannah Bond and FBI agent Scrooby. As Maytubby tries to track down the killer, he travels to Arkansas and Louisiana, where he encounters some true Cajuns. (This just added to my enjoyment since I lived in Louisiana for 4 years).
All in all, this was an enjoyable book. Plenty of twists and turns, great characters, some dry humor and great descriptions of the countryside all add to the fun of this book. I am grateful to Nook for allowing me to discover this new series. I'm sure that I will be reading more adventures of these characters in the future.
