Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Narrators John Nelson and Justine Eyre competently catch the voice of each author and the unique perspective provided by the focus on the sport." ---AudioFile

OCTOBER 2010 - AudioFile

This captivating collection of short stories resulted when 16 authors, who are all anglers but not necessarily mystery writers, agreed to write a mystery using fly fishing as the theme. The book’s proceeds will be donated to charity. Narrators John Nelson and Justine Eyre competently catch the voice of each author and the unique perspective provided by the focus on the sport. Both narrators venture into regional accents sparingly, wisely relying on the more subtle devices of pacing and tone to create personalities and deliver suspense. This is an entertaining anthology of fish tales fashioned to expose the dark undercurrents of greed, violence, and even murder that lurk beneath the surface of this seemingly placid, contemplative sport.
