Thank you @simon.audio for the gifted copy. 

Sheriff Heidi Kick investigates the death of a homeless man who was last seen alive miles from where he was found alongside a road in rural Wisconsin. The last thing Sheriff Kick needs is an unsolved murder because she’s in the midst of a nasty re-election campaign. Her opponent is running a smear campaign against her and calling her Sheriff Mommy. As the investigation intensifies and more bodies pile up, Heidi must deal with family problems and rumors that could derail her career and the investigation. 

John Galligan is a new to me author and this is the third book in his Bad Axe County series. I had no problem jumping into the series with this book. There was enough background info to get me up to speed with the characters. Heidi is a compassionate and strong female character. She doesn’t have an easy time being the top law enforcement officer in a rural county, but she has some allies on her side. The plot had some wild and weird twists and turns that wrap up at the end. The story is a good mix of police procedural and family drama. The narration by Samantha Desz is smooth and compelling.  I’m going to have to read the backlist titles in this series because I really liked Heidi’s character.  Bad Moon Rising is available now. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
