Review # 1 was written on 2018-10-07 00:00:00 Jesse Carpenter This is Woods Cop #3 but the 4th in that series that I've read. Fortunately, reading Running Dark, the 4th in the series before Chasing A Blond Moon was not a problem at all due to Running Dark being a flash back novel. Blond Moon is the most complicated of the four books in the series I've read. There are more twists and turns than in a high capacity dryer full of sheets and socks. Normally this would detract from a story but Heywood does a bang up job with it. You don't know from chapter to chapter or sometimes even page to page what is going on, but your appetite to find out is whetted. Speaking of appetite; Grady Service is a rough conservation officer, a man of the woods and the animals he's charged with protecting. But he's hardly one dimensional. He's a connoisseur of both wine and food, able to cook a fine French dinner while savoring a fine wine. This novel has Grady performing his duties as the detective he's been promoted to. Or is it demoted? He loves his boots on the ground, in the mud and dust. But being a detective requires his presence in the office more than he would like. This story is filled with the discovery of a son that Grady had no idea existed. It deals with a state senator and gubernatorial candidate that we met briefly in Blue Wolf In Green Fire, #2 in the series. It shows Grady feeling his age. Does Grady get the bad guys? Yes. And no. Read the book to find out what that means. Heywood shows us the wilds of the U P, both animal and man alike. The weather is every bit a character of this series, whether it's snow, rain, dust and humidity. The mix of characters, Nantz, Grady's lover, Walter his son, the Captain, his secretary, other COs, other cops and deputies; all cause this to be like a high quality stew; quite mixed as to ingredients but still able to taste those individual ingredients. Heywood makes it work. (Now if he would use less onions in his recipes.) Crime and nature; if you like either of those and especially both, you will love this series.
