Perdido County: Election Day
Cormac McCarthy, Craig Johnson, and C. J. Box fans will love Election Day, the ninth episode in author Larry Darter’s Owen Wolfe Mystery series, Perdido County, set in the harsh, but beautiful landscape of the Trans-Pecos region of modern-day West Texas.
When election day rolls around in Perdido County, Owen Wolfe learns whether he will continue his tenure as sheriff or will be out of a job. Meanwhile, while investigating a burglary, sassy Latina Deputy Olivia Alvarez recovers a stolen gun that turns out to be the weapon used by the killer in two, distant unsolved homicides. Things reach critical mass when the FBI turns up in Kimble with an interest in the gun and Alvarez’s burglary suspect. Wolfe works to repair the damage to his friendship with Alvarez, his sharpest and most dependable deputy, while his romantic involvement with Perdido County ranch owner Elisabet Bell continues to heat up. Just when things seem to be going so well, tragedy strikes the team.

Perdido County: Election Day - a review by Rosemary Kenny
Good news and bad for Sheriff Owen Wolfe of Perdido County begins Book 9, in Larry Darter's A Sheriff Owen Wolfe Mysteries series, Perdido County: Election Day.Yes, he's won the annual election to the post of Sheriff, against the skulduggery of his main opponent Deputy Chase Carpenter's father, but on the negative side, Owen and his Chief Deputy Olivia Alvarez have to deal with credit card fraud that's linked to a far more serious sequence of crimes, that could have serious consequences for the law enforcers of Perdido County.
Another tiny (63 pages) gem to sparkle in Larry Darter's repertoire of magnificent mini-adventures, Election Day is sure to capture your fancy for more episodes in the A sheriff Owen Wolfe Mysteries series - it's certainly one that I would highly recommend to all crime-thriller Westerns lovers - yeehaa!!
