Bodycheck: A Mystery

by Steven Owad

Somebody wants Behn McAvoy dead. Behn is sure of this because he has just had to drown a hit man in his favorite fishing hole. But who would want to kill an ageing hockey player from a minor-league team out in the boonies? Finding out who's calling the shots would be easier to do if only the shots would stop coming.

Owad’s Micro-Review #4

Stupendous. Magnificent. The breadth of Tolstoy, the humanity of Shakespeare. This reviewer is awestruck by the sheer . . . greatness of this treasure. Only an addled misanthrope would not be moved to tears by the compelling narrative, the perfect writing and the sheer TRUTH about the meaning of life and God and everything. Six stars out of five. James Joyce would weep to see how trite his own books are by comparison. July 14 2020

A wonderful yarn and well worth reading, on a rainy afternoon.

I thought this was a good story. Book was short but it was good to kill sometime with. The killer was a surprise! Read this!
