Blue Ridge Author: "Pearson is a master of what jazz musicians call riffs, improvisations that in his hands are almost unfailingly funny." (The Washington Post) — "[An] insightful, sardonic tale of self-discovery and self-deceit . . . Pearson writes evocatively . . . his descriptions enlivened by satirical details and witty editorializing." (Publishers W... more » Ever since A Short History of a Small Place, T. R. Pearson has captivated readers. In his seventh novel, Blue Ridge, Ray Tatum is the new deputy sheriff of Hogarth, Virginia, located in the middle of nowhere with "nothing too awful gaudy afoot" until the discovery of a nearly complete set of human bones on the Appalachian Trail. Meanwhile, Ray's cousin Paul is summoned to New York to identify another body-the corpse of his son, whom he scarcely knew.

I really, really enjoyed this; not your ordinary mystery.

wow...this book is a definite read! it is a slim book, but each page packs apunch - T. R. Pearson writes with such great wit, I was laughing most of the pages, re-reading the sentences just to laugh again. the plot is fairly simple - it is from the POV of cousins, so it is 2 different stories that parralel each other (those of you looking for plot page turners, this might be a bit slow) BUT for those of you looking for great writing and a good laugh, this is a must read. I will want a hardcover version in my bookshelf! definitely a keeper!
A mystery that encompasses the wilds of Virgina and the streets of Manhattan--and murder.
