      Golden Voice George Guidall takes listeners to fictional Blacklin County in east Texas for the fifteenth Sheriff Dan Rhodes novel by prolific Bill Crider. In spite of the maudlin title, OF ALL SAD WORDS is a funny, fast-paced yarn filled with snappy dialogue and hilarious situations. As Sheriff Rhodes faces reelection, he has to contend with a stray donkey in a car wash, a complaint of electricity-stealing UFOs, a possum infestation, a moonshine conspiracy, and a dead body near a burned-out trailer home. With his wry twists of voice and comic timing, Guidall is well matched to Crider's witty situations and the banter of his characters, all delivered in a believable Texas twang. Guidall, Crider, and Rhodes are a perfect trio in this highly recommended mystery. S.E.S. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

      Crider's winning 15th Sheriff Dan Rhodes mystery (after 2007's Murder Among the OWLS
      ) pits the wry Texan against a local drug ring. Skeptical when Clearview, Tex., newcomer C.P. Benton complains that his neighbors, the Crawford brothers, are cooking meth, Rhodes finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation when the Crawford trailer explodes, leaving one of the brothers dead. But instead of finding evidence of meth, Rhodes stumbles on a still with a fresh batch of old-fashioned hooch. The remaining Crawford brother plays dumb, blaming his sibling for the illegal operation, but Rhodes doesn't buy the act. The discovery of a second still complicates matters, and Rhodes must ignore his bickering deputies and a whiny county commissioner to get to the bottom of Clearview's crime wave. Crider expertly evokes this small Texas town and its eccentric cast of characters, and his dry humor will satisfy longtime fans of this popular series.
