    About this audiobook

    Former deputy sheriff Michael McGarrity’s stunning cop mysteries, including Slow Kill, have been nominated for the coveted Anthony Award. The New York Timessays, “McGarrity has a cunning mind for crime fiction.”

    When pro rodeo star Johnny Jordan returns to Santa Fe, he asks his childhood friend, police chief Kevin Kerney, to serve as a consultant on a new film being staged along the Mexican border. Seeing an opportunity to get paid while enjoying a long-overdue
    vacation, Kerney agrees, and brings along his wife, Lieutenant Colonel Sara Brannon, and their young son, Patrick. But on the road to the isolated location, they find the dead body of an undercover federal agent—so much for relaxation.

    Filled with unbridled suspense and accurate depictions of police procedures, Nothing but Trouble benefits from the perspective of a “man who has been there and done that,” according to New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman.

    “The series remains one of crime fiction’s most readable.”—Kirkus Reviews

    • 5/5
      Synopsis: Kerney meets and old friend who asks him to work on a western as a consultant and cowboy. Of course, Kerney discovers that crime is in the area and gets involved in hunting down smugglers. Meanwhile, Sara is trying to move up the chain of command, but is stymied by a hide-bound commanding officer. Her former commander is able to get her for a special mission, which takes her to Ireland.Review: This is the best of the Kevin Kerney novels. Adding several chapters as Sara's adventures gives McGarrity room to write more twists and turns into his plot. In this case, Sara's adventures were much more interesting than Kerney's.
    • 3/5
      This should really have been two books, since it includes two separate plot lines that aren't really connected. Kerney agrees to help an old but unreliable friend with a movie filming, and gets involved with a murder. Meanwhile, his wife is sent to Ireland by the military to investigate an old missing person case that she initiated at Kerney's request in an earlier episode. Her story is the more interesting because of her frustrations with the military pettiness; Joe is challenged by being a full time parent, which he doesn't handle very well. By the time the Ireland situation was resolved, it was hard to remember or care what was going on back in New Mexico.
    • 5/5
      This is McGarrity at the top of his writing craft, and one of the most enjoyable in the Kevin Kerney saga. The counterpoint of Kerney's Army colonel wife's risky assignment overseas to his own pre-retirement consulting job on a movie production set in New Mexico is engaging and skillfully drawn.
    • 3/5
      The inside look at the movie business was interesting, and I did enjoy seeing more of Sara at work, but it felt a little like there were some unresolved things with Johnny and Julia, and the ending seemed a little too easy. I do have to say thank you to Mr. McGarrity for not killing Sara, but then, I haven't read the next in the series.
