More About This Book

Overview

Fly fisherman Ned Oglivie finds himself in the middle of a small-town murder case. The first installment in the series.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Ned "the Dog" Oglivie lives in an old RV, crisscrosses the country to hit all the trout streams, and swigs vodka. But when he discovers a fellow fisherman's body in a Wisconsin stream, he also meets another oddity-one Melvina O'Malley-who tampers with the evidence and then appeals to the Dog for help. For some reason, he sticks around, encountering a red-neck fish poacher; a dangerously half-educated police chief; a retired, whiskey-guzzling fish biologist; and a crusading, crippled fly tier. In the first installment of a new mystery series, Galligan (Red Sky, Red Dragonfly), a Wisconsin-based college writing professor, portrays these radiantly quirky characters with deft strokes, pulling their strings with panache and outlining their world with humor and acceptance. A real treat. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

    First rate fly fishing mystery

    John Galligan has written another book with a flawed protagonist (the first being Red Sky, Red Dragonfly) that has heart and hope even in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Ned Oglivie tried living his life the right way--wife, kid, upstanding member of the community. But then a tragic accident pulls the rug out from under him and sends him in a tailspin, destroying his domestic tranquility. With nothing left in the civilized world for him, he sets off to fish himself to death. When it sounds like he's close to it, he stumbles upon a dead body, and a small town filled with suspects. The depth of Galligan's understanding and description of fly fishing makes somebody like me who has never had any interest in the sport want to climb into a stream and test my patience. This is apparently the first book in a series. I hope part two is just as strong.

    OK but not fabulous

    I found the main character's habit of referring to himself in the third person as the dog to be annoying. The story was ok not great. The writing was just so so. Not a waste of time but not one I'd recommend to anyone who was not already interested in fishing.

    Did Not Finish It

    Just read a few pages of this book. Loved the cover art. Could not get
    into the story at all. It may be a great book if you like fly fishing or that style of writing.

    Loved it!!!

    What a great mystery/who done it. An average guy and fisherman becoming involved in a murder mystery with a just a little romance. Once I started reading I could not put it down until the end.

    Excellent Read

    Intelligent, with 3 dimensional characters. Galligan has been added to my must-read mystery writer's list.

    Absorbing, Interesting Mystery

    I liked this a lot -- it was an unusual kind of mystery. The characters were well drawn and the writing was beautiful.
