Melissa Lenhardt Follow

The Fisher King is the follow-up novel to Melissa Lenhardt’s book Stillwater, which is set in the small Texas town of Stillwater. Jake McBride, the new sheriff in town, and is given a rough welcome and a rude introduction into the corruption and power that rules the town. The powers that be in Stillwater are dead set against McBride’s plans to police the town properly and set out to thwart him at every turn. McBride’s predecessor as sheriff was a big part of the problem, which makes McBride’s job that much more difficult. Lenhardt has created a thought-provoking little town and populated it with an interesting cast of characters. This is very much a character-driven mystery, yet it is also filled with plenty of twists and turns packed with intrigue, danger, and suspense. I haven’t read Stillwater, the first instalment in this series, but will certainly do so after reading The Fisher King. Need I say more?
