About this listen

The Reluctant Sheriff is Chris Offutt's fourth book featuring Mick Hardin.

A dark and fierce return to the Kentucky hills, where nothing is what it seems.

Mick Hardin returns to the trials and tribulations of local sheriff duties, whilst the previous sheriff, his sister Linda, recovers from a gunshot wound sustained in the line of duty.

Living in Linda's house in Rocksalt, Mick finds himself entwined in the trials and tribulations of being a sheriff in the perturbing Kentucky community. Unable to retire from a world of dubiousness and violence, Mick Hardin is back with determination to deliver retribution.

I loved all the books in this series. They are relatively short but they pack a punch. Great characterisation, appealing Kentucky hinterland and effortless comedy on top. Highly recommended

Great punchy original Southern Crime
