Title: Old Money

Stars: 4 out of 5


Review:

Another winner penned by Bobby Cole. He has the southern charm and wit which just draws you into the story being told. You feel like you are one of the good old boys sitting around listening and find yourself waiting on the punch line to fall. This story contains a variety of characters who all receive their just reward. I found myself pleasantly surprised at the ending.

I gave this book a four star rating and I would recommend it to anyone who likes to read a mystery with a touch of comedy, con job and poetic justice.

I received an ARC from Netgalley for my unbiased review.

Synopsis:
Jake Crosby has traded in a stockbroker’s suit and tie for a standard-issue uniform. As a newly minted Mississippi game warden, he has two tough cases to cut his teeth on—the ongoing robbery of wealthy hunters and the ruthless search for a rumored hidden fortune.

According to local gossip, several million dollars have been missing since the conviction of local conman Bronson Bolivar, and following his death in prison, his two grown children have torn his property apart looking for the funds. As Jake searches for the robber who targets well-to-do outdoorsmen, he finds a trail leading to the Bolivars. But the allure of quick cash also draws unexpected interest from both Bronson’s former cellmate and an upstanding federal judge. Will Jake understand the severity of the situation in time or get caught up in a web of deceit?
