An original, entertaining, deftly crafted Bill Maytubby and Hannah
Bond mystery by Kris Lackey, Butcher Pen Road is a riveting read
from beginning to end. Laced with cliff-hanger plot twists and
unexpected turns, Butcher Pen Road is especially and unreservedly
recommended.-- "Midwest Book Review"
Kris Lackey's strong points are his characterizations. Each unique
bad guy isn't always all bad, the good guys make mistakes, and Bill
and Hannah are wholesome heroes who will walk through fire to
protect their people. Excellent reading.-- "Roundup Magazine"
Lackey has penned another fast-paced mystery with the unlikely but
highly capable law-enforcement duo of Chickasaw Lighthorseman Bill
Maytubby and Deputy Hannah Bond. The author's brilliant
descriptions bring details alive, picking up the reader and
depositing them squarely in the middle of Oklahoma Indian Country.
Go along for an adventurous and dangerous ride. You'll be glad you
did. You won't want to put this book down until you've turned the
last page, and then you'll want more.-- "Sara Sue Hoklotubbe,
author of the award-winning Sadie Walela mystery series"
There are a few crime writers who can expertly evoke a sense of
place and of genuine people; who can transfer their authentic
voices to the printed page. Kris Lackey is one of those
authors...Lackey has created characters every bit as witty and
engaging as Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers...This is a crime
series which wears its humanity firmly on its sleeve. There may be
moments of brutalizing violence and lethal force, but these are
easily offset by the likeable characters and their affable good
humor. There's none of the bleak nihilism which so frequently
permeates crime fiction set in backwoods America. The result is
ultimately uplifting and affirming, and I can't wait for the next
one.-- "Murder, Mayhem & More"
