Eleven Little Piggies

A Minnesota police detective looks into the death of a local farmer in a series that “always delivers a satisfying mystery” ( Booklist ). “Jake Hines, chief of detectives in Rutherford, Minnesota, is just trying to get through his day he was roped into going goose hunting, but he’d rather be warm at home. The discovery of a dead body nearby is not the way Jake wants to end his day, especially when it turns out the dead man is a local farmer who had been embroiled in a battle with other members of his family over the potential sale of some of their land. But was he murdered by a member of his own family, or by someone else entirely? Jake is a likable narrator, a guy with a good head on his shoulders and a no-nonsense approach to his job, and Gunn’s latest is plenty intricate enough to keep Jake and the reader guessing . . . An engaging protagonist.” — Booklist
