Dove Season by Johnny Shaw

3.0

The higher side of three stars. This reminds me of a cross between a Hap & Leonard novel & anything Sughrue by James Crumley, which I did actually think of myself before seeing a blurb on the back of the book saying basically that same thing. I'm heartened to see that this is the first in a series (thank you Prospector for locating book #2 for me) because I can't get enough of the banter between Jimmy & Bobby.
"'The boys say they've found a tunnel. Think it leads to the smokestack things. They're going to check it out and we should go in here ourselves.'
'They texted all that?' I leaned in, trying to read the message.
'No. It just says found tunnel. And tunnel is spelled wrong. I inferenced the rest. Found is spelled wrong too.'"
And a cover blurb by Tana French, of all people, so to paraphrase something Dan wrote years ago, if it's good enough for Tana French, it's good enough for you.
