Book Reviews of Dead Angler (Loon Lake Fishing Mysteries)

Though I was hesitant about reading this, due to all the fly fishing references, it was actually really good! Well written and a good mystery. I will definitely seek out the others in the series and read them.

I'm not a fisherman, but I sure do enjoy this series.

A Great combination fishing and murder- it is easy to be hooked by this author.

A cozy mystery that takes place in small town Wisconsin and is centered around a female police officer and fishing.

A terrific series, stories told by the sidekick of the series, Paul Osborne. Lots of good, solid mystery plotting, good character development and...FISHING!!! Can't miss fun for fishing/mystery fans.
