Sean Stranahan #8
The Bangtail Ghost: A Novel
"Keith McCafferty is a top-notch, first-rate, can't-miss novelist."
--C.J. Box, #1 New York Times bestselling author
In Montana's Gravelly Range, paw prints discovered at the horrific scene suggest a woman had been attacked and carried away into the wilderness by a mountain lion. Sheriff Martha Ettinger employs her fiancé, sometimes-detective Sean Stranahan, to put a name to the gnawed bones and single discarded breast implant comprising all that is left of the body, the first of several deaths that perhaps are not as simple to explain as they first appear to be. The gruesome trail will lead him from the ridges of wintry Montana to the sun-scorched foothills of the Indian Himalayas, as Sean finds himself on his most adventurous and dangerous quest yet. For as he comes closer to unearthing the secret shared by the dead and missing, the tracks he is following will turn, and the hunter becomes the hunted.

This was the first book I read in the Sean Stranahan series. The story involves Sean and his finance Sherrif Martha looking for man eating cougars. The characters are interesting and bring another dimension to the plot. I'll try another in the series.

#8 in the Sean Stranahan mystery series. This 2020 series entry by author Keith McCafferty advances the romance between part time detective Sean and Sheriff Martha Ettinger. The plot involves mountain lions and their rare attacks on humans and also touches upon the use of dogs and houndsmen to track and capture/kill the big cats. In this plot there are a number of attacks and deaths ascribed to lions, but after the killer is killed the attacks continue. There is a gimmicky resolution to the story but it doesn't matter since the real story is the Montana country and the people who inhabit Sean's orbit.
The discovery of a woman's mutilated body in the mountains of southwest Montana propels painter, fishing guide, and occasional PI Sean Stranahan to find the truth. Paw prints and DNA evidence indicate that the woman was killed and partially eaten by a mountain lion. The locals react with alarm, and Sean's fiancée, Sheriff Martha Ettinger, forms a task force to identify the victim and track down the lion before it kills again. Initial attempts fail dramatically, but eventually Sean and dog handler Buster Garrett tree and kill the cat in a vividly drawn nighttime chase. A few months later, however, when both a sheep herder and Buster are killed in eerily similar lion attacks, the cycle appears to be starting again.

I put off reading this for some time because I loved the feeling of having one of McCafferty's books "in the bank" so to speak, waiting for me. Finally, I couldn't wait any longer but did read as slowly as possible in order to savour the setting and enjoy the story. Always something new to learn when reading about Sean, Martha, etc.. In this case, mountain lions, fascinating creatures, aptly described as ghosts. I like the author's descriptive phrases (all the more because I tried to read this book so slowly!) - things like "the fat scythe of its tail" "the pastel palette of dawn, powder-blue wafers of sky layered on top of pink streaks in alternating bands. Montana, yawning awake." Also enjoyed the contrast in such descriptions as the "delicate feather patterns where the eagles had touched their wings to the snow" juxtaposed with the carnage of violent death. Those who haven't discovered this author yet have a treat in store as this is his 8th Sean Stranahan book. May there be many more.

Pull up, Pull up! These are the last words a pilot hears before he crashes into an object or mountain for flying too low. It is possible the co-pilot might say Oh shit, or that other tried and true stand-by oh FU@#. I really enjoyed this series for several books but the repugnant sheriff just destroyed this series for me. Im fact two people I recommended this series to quit the books because they could not stand the sheriff--all of the annoying ticks, insecurities, and idiotic statements made by this character killed everyone aboard this flight for me. Compounding this problem are the actual mysteries have became absurd. Multiple man eater mountain lions and some dipshit bad guy who identifies as a lion including getting facial surgery to have whiskers implanted in his face? Seriously? With any luck someone on ebay will take this turd off my hands and I can limit the damage. Adios Keith McCafferty, you seem like a nice guy perhaps you should go back to writing for field and stream.

I have read and enjoyed The Bangtail Ghost, it's the latest Sean Stranahan mystery from Keith McCafferty. There were not a lot of fishing in this book but at least we got a marriage. Usually all characters I read about loses their spouse and or their children not this time. It was very interesting reading about mountain cats. I usually feel like I want to visit this place and despite all the deaths I still feel this way. I just love the setting and characters in this series and although I'm no fisherman still enjoy those parts of the books. I really recommend that you try this series. It's fantastic.

A different mystery in that the murderer is a cougar terrorizing a Montana community. It’s also a welcome departure from the usual dispensing of arcane fly fishing techniques and equipment. Sean Stranahan, the artist, fishing guide and PI, is getting in a serious relationship with Martha, the sheriff. Some strange, eccentric characters involved as well. Plus there’s the election for sheriff in the near future. Lots of unexpected twists and turns with a nice Dr. Frankenstein rewilding plot in the background. Nicely paced too.

Lots of details about mountain lions in this book, as there are humans that are attacked and killed by what turns out to be a pair of lions. Since mountain lions don’t usually prey on humans, Sean, Martha, Harold and others look for patterns that might indicate human influence on specific lions. Sean (as usual) makes some risky decisions that lead to a tense climax. I like the way McCafferty always includes a few chapters at the end that tie things up for his readers after the climax takes place.

Love McCafferty’s series. He does it again. Pulled me in within the first couple of pages. Another great story. Great characters. Fast moving. Ended way too soon, I wish it had another 1000 pages! Bravo!

Good mystery and slightly different than the stories in this series have been while still retaining the series integrity and McCafferty’s writing style. If this is your first read of this series I suggest you read from the beginning book first to get the full understanding and enjoyment of this book. This book does stand on it’s own but if you have not read the others it is like missing that touch of spice that takes food from good to yummy. Can’t wait for the next book.

Mountain lion attack? Or is it another, more dangerous predator.
Cover art with the disembodied eyes of a big cat held my attention, as did the unique title. Given the severe beauty of the semi-arid setting, “bangtail” could be a whiskey, a fishing lure, a style of horses’ tails or a prostitute. I decided to chance reading a new-to-me author, Keith McCafferty.
This western police procedural is set in the sparsely populated backcountry of southwestern Montana. The characters are well-developed, especially the MCs—Sheriff Martha Ettinger and private investigator Sean Stranahan, who is also a watercolorist. It’s through the characters’ eyes that we view the austere countryside, and see that a mountain lion attack is an all-hands emergency. Other characters are reminiscent of western genre books and films, including oddballs. That said, some secondary characters and their behaviors are so bizarre, it’s hard to suspend disbelief.
A large mountain lion kills and partially eats a woman, after which hunters kill the man-eater. Wildlife Human Attack Response Team members investigate the kill scene and remove human remains. They find big cat regurgitation ~20 meters from the kill site. Scientists discover a human child’s toes in the regurgitation, but the DNA is degraded. Do the toes belong to a missing boy or a female teen?
Then a sheepherder is killed by a smaller mountain lion, although his akbash guard dogs manage to fight off the lion. Six months later, a tracker/houndsman is attacked, and the kill scene is a blood-soaked mess of churned up dirt, the tracker having fought hard. There is lion saliva DNA, but was it a cunning human predator? Good plot and clean ending, but with a tacked-on saccharine HEA that’s subplot sop.
Trigger warnings: domestic abuse, missing/dead children, incest, torture, deliberate disfigurement, predated human bodies, disarticulated body parts, and killing animals including dogs.

Sean Stranahan and his fiancé Sheriff Martha Ettinger find themselves with a problem when a woman is murdered and then eaten by a mountain lion. And she's likely not the first - a teen, a young boy, and others have gone missing. The first challenge is identifying the victim and then second is finding the cat. And it's not the last kill the cat will make. This is a perfect blend of wildlife and mystery peppered with wonderful vivid characters, including a brother sister pair who live with Tatiana the lynx. Just about everyone is hiding something (save Sean and Martha) up to and including old friends who don't want to confess their weaknesses or their aspirations until pushed. I learned a great deal reading this about mountain lions, the use of dogs to chase down lions, tagging, and, let's face it, man eating beasts. There's terrific atmospherics as Sean and the others chase after the lion. Some of it is gruesome (the end is for sure) but there's also a big heart in here. I've only read one of the preceding books so this was virtually a standalone for me- and I loved it (and now will be looking for the next one). No spoilers as to how things turn out but it's not all bad (especially for Sean and Martha). Thanks to Edelweiss for the ARC. A great read that transported me to Montana. Highly recommend.

The Bangtail Ghost by Keith McCafferty: Sean Stranahan is at it again, solving mysteries in rural Montana. A man-eating mountain lion is on the loose and a mixed team of law enforcement, naturalists, and lion houndsman are joined together to catch the cat before it kills again. The strange mix of the pursuit group becomes stranger as the characters are revealed. Stranahan’s romance with sheriff Martha Ettinger continues in this novel adding a softer sub plot. This is the third McCafferty novel I have enjoyed and McCafferty’s writing skills continue to improve. This novel strays away from some of the previous novels heavy accent on fly fishing, and since I do not fish, this was a positive to me. Reading the book, you feel McCafferty’s love of the great Montana outdoors and his respect for nature. McCafferty obviously spent a good deal of time researching mountain lions as the detail of their habits and environment come alive as the plot unfolds. Since I live in the area that is the setting for the series, it is especially fun to follow along on roads that I frequently drive. McCafferty represents the local geography well. I look forward to the next Stranahan novel.

Another stellar Sean Stranahan mystery. I think this is an exceptional series, in the quality of the writing, the great descriptions of the wild Montana setting, the characterizations and the ingenious plots. This might work as a standalone but why not enjoy the others? If anyone has been avoiding this series because they are not interested in fishing, do yourself a favor and pick up the first book and start a great reading experience.
This time out, artist/fly fisherman/private detective Sean and his fiancee Sheriff Martha Ettinger are hunting a mountain lion that has developed a taste for humans. And the circle of people who hunt and study the mountain lions are a strange bunch, to say the least.
As the action unfolds, we also see Sean and Martha take stock of their decision to marry and make adjustments to their life together. Entertaining, suspenseful, eerie, humorous and altogether captivating. And the cover is incredible. Thanks to the publisher and to Net Galley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Love this series
I started with book number 1, and found it hard to follow, good not great. But I love reading about the outdoors and those who enjoy it more than me, as I’ve always wanted to fly fish but have yet to try. I also love Montana and a good murder mystery. The Sean Series has them all. So I kept reading the series and Keith McCafferty has grown immensely as a writer. Each book is better than the last. Not only are the mysteries unusual but they are full of humor . The Characters are interesting and the dialogue sharp. Plus you always learn something, about Montana, Native Americans, trout, buffaloes and pumas for example, and about man’s constant push and pull with nature. I highly recommend this book and the whole series. I found this one particularly interesting as I have a love for both house cats and wild cats. I found myself rooting for the lions through much of the book. I hope McCafferty keeps writing and that Sean and Martha make it, speaking of push and pull.

October 13, 2022DNF, I just couldn’t.
I thought I was going crazy, everyone giving the novels 4-5 stars and I just can’t stomach Martha - nor the writing. These books want to be a modern novel, but then slips into an almost Austen verbiage. I think I’m the only female on the planet that doesn’t worship Miss Jane A.
I could even do with the crazy absurd storyline, if someone had just shot Martha in the face at the first book. I like Sean, but what the f*ck, he’s what 30ish? Martha comes off as Ouiser Boudreaux in Steel Magnolias- no that’s not fair, I loved Ouiser, even if she was a pain in the a$$. I loved her because she was a PIA. If Keith could have pulled that off, he would have a huge hit on his hands. Instead, this is just something to kill time waiting for a new book by better much better authors for me, it’s Craig Johnson or William Kent Krueger and many others, hell even CJ Box is better! Happy trails.

The Bangtail Ghost is a mountain lion known to have attacked humans. A young woman's body is found in the mountain woods, and then a sheepherder is found to be a second victim. Sean Stranahan (sometime detective) and Marth Ettinger (county sheriff) lead an investigation to find how many lions are out there in the Montana wilds and which ones have been tracking humans. However, then a man who has hounds that track the mountain lions is found dead and the plo[t thickens. As it turns out there are other forces at work that nearly lead Sean to his death. But he survives so that he and Martha can get married after a long on-again-off-again relationship ( which you pick up in the earlier Sean Stranahan books). The special treat was a character with my name is also found in the book and turns out to play a significant role.

This is the first Sean Stranahan story I've read, but it shan't be the last. For those of you not in the know Sean is an artist and PI living in Montana. I don't want to give away too much more as I really need to read more stories to get more info.
As the story begins Sean is gathering the remains of elk kill he and his girl friend made when he hears a scream and sights a light across the valley on a distant mountain. He also senses that he's being stalked by a mountain lion. Turns out the scream he hears marks the death of woman being taken by a mountain lion. The locals soon realize that the lion has taken several people and soon mobilize a force to hunt the lion. Things, predictably, go sideways and more people die. But soon the question becomes is the one lion responsible for all of the killings or is something else in play.
Well crafted and certainly entertaining.

Bangtail Ghost is number eight in the Sean Stranahan mystery series and also the latest from Keith McCafferty. I enjoyed this installment, although I would not rank it with some of the earlier novels that I rated five stars. I felt like there was a bit of a disconnect toward the middle of the book, and it did not flow as smoothly as others. At any rate, the story revolves around mountain lions, or pumas as they are more officially known in the wildlife biology community. If you want to learn more about cougars and cats, you should grab this mystery thriller and give it a read. Sean Stranahan, Martha Ettinger, Sam Meslik, Harold Little Feather, Georgeanne Wilkerson, and Katie Sparrow all return and participate in this cat caper. Hopefully they will return in the not too distant future. I will be waiting.

i read some of the early books in this series but it had been a while, so i read a little ways in before, yes, i know this character, but the book was slow and the characters weird and I don't read mysteries for the romantic pleasure so the gf/sheriff emoting was an annoying distraction. It should have been re-written and smoothed out. Pulling the porcupine quills was odd by the crazy hairy lion guy, advising the soon to be dead hero, artist/pi?that you pull the quills out 180 degrees from the way they entered (you mean pull them out the way they went in??) some were as long and as fat as a pencil?? then from a vice grip to tiny hemostat?? Poor scarlett, all those scars too? and buster?? his wife would have been disheartened, his betrayal of her, maybe she could have worn a catlady costume around the house and kept her man at home at the hearth?? i'm glad the book is over.

Lions and tigers and bears - Finally. I can't believe we're at book eight and just getting to the big cats. The Bangtails - a mountain, not the many other things that colorful moniker has described through the ages - is home to a maneater. A mountain lion preying on humans. With Harold out of commission, Sean is the county's tracker. As the body count continues to climb, Martha and Sean kick things into high gear as they struggle to track down a four-legged killer.
I hope this series continues. It's lovely when an author really knows their subject and is talented enough to bring it to life. Thanks for hours of enjoyment.

Sean Stranahan and Sheriff Martha Ettinger are back, investigating the death of a woman at the jaws of a mountain lion.. Interesting secondary characters, and the relationship between the primary characters has developed in a very satisfying manner over the course of the series. Stranahan's character has become more interesting as he has become less of a ladies' man (although the author makes sure we know he's still very attractive to women besides his fiancee!). Highly recommended. Many thanks to NetGalley and Viking for the opportunity to read the eARC.

I thought this was one of the best books of the series. It is combines humor, human behavior and mystery all together with a flair that just makes you sorry when you reach the end of the book. If you like stories in which the characters are clearly laid out with a little Montana philosophy added in (like you can't tell who is a hunter in Montana, some look like your grandma with purple hair others look like the barista at the world class coffee shop with the dreadlocks tucked under their cap). An excellent book!

I'm not into fly fishing, and I don't like westerns, but I like this series. The fact that I guessed the perpetrator early on, didn't diminish my enjoyment at all.
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!! Don't read on if you don't want to know!
I'm glad that Sean and Martha married. One reviewer commented that the series probably wouldn't be as exciting, but I disagree. Many of my favorite series feature married characters. After all, there is drama in the happiest marriages. I get tired of the romance style angst with single characters that goes on and on in book after book.

The Bangtail Ghost is Book 8 in the Sean Stranahan series and appears to be the last. This wasn’t my favorite in the series by a long shot. (Who are all these people? A Peruvian sheep herder? A boy in sheep’s clothing? A hooker with a heart of gold? who knew Montana had so many colorful characters?!) I had a lot of trouble following the storyline for some reason, but as usual McCafferty ties it all up nicely at the end.
Also, McCafferty usually does such a bang-up description of the Montana landscape and it was noticeably absent from this book.

Every Sean Stranahan book I read from Keith McCafferty deepens and grows and delights from the human characters to the magnificent animals to the stirring descriptions of the Montana settings. Add murder and bad guys to the above mix and I sit back and soak it all in while I am wincing at Sean and his tireless refusal to listen even to his own reason when confronting murder. Great story and Rick Holmes as narrator honors the words.

My husband read this book and absolutely loved it. He recommended I also read it, feeling sure I would also love it. No, not so much. I did finish it, but just barely and only to make sure I was not missing anything. I gave it 3 stars, but that was being generous. We have many books we love in common, but this one was marginal for me. I enjoyed all the things I learned about big wild cats, but the characters and plot did not ever grip me.
September 21, 2024
I liked the interesting characters introduced, very vivid characters. I enjoyed the mood and scenery of the book, love anything set in Yellowstone. I thought the mystery of it could have been a little more… unpredictable? I also haven’t read the other 7 books before this so maybe that had something to do with it, but I felt like too many hints were given too easily. But I did enjoy it, I love a good monster story
August 28, 2020
I am not familiar with the characters in this book but I am familiar with some of the locations in this book having lived in Montana. The Bangtail Ghost suggest that the Montana that I lived in and loved is a much more dangerous place than I imagined. You will have to decide if the detail and focus on mountain lions is worth the time spend both writing about them and for us to read about.

Read as an audiobook performed by Rick Holmes, nearly 9 hours in length. Excellent story and presentation. Would be suitable for most audiences, if they can tolerate reference to the gore associated with a large cat eaten body. If anything, the presentation was somewhat understated. This is my first Sean Stranahan mystery and I would be interested in more.
