About this listen
Mick Hardin is an Army CID officer home on leave, recovering from an IED attack and flirting with prescription painkillers, when a body is found in the center of town. It’s Barney Kissick, the local heroin dealer, and the city police see it as an occupational hazard. But when Barney’s mother, Shifty, asks Mick to take a look, he finds there’s more to the killing than it seems. Mick should be rehabbing his leg, signing his divorce papers, and getting out of town—and most of all, staying out of the way of his sister’s reelection as Sheriff—but he keeps on looking, and suddenly he’s getting shot at himself.
A dark, pacy crime novel about grief and revenge and the surprises hidden below the surface, Shifty’s Boys is a tour de force that confirms Mick Hardin as one of the most appealing new investigators in fiction.

Mick Hardin, a combat veteran now working as an Army CID agent, is home on a leave that is almost done. His wife is about to give birth, but they aren’t getting along. His sister, newly risen to sheriff, has just landed her first murder case, and local politicians are pushing for city police or the FBI to take it over. Are they convinced she can’t handle it, or is there something else at work? She calls on Mick, who, with his homicide investigation experience and familiarity with the terrain, is well-suited to staying under the radar.

Northern Ireland, spring 1981. Hunger strikes, riots, power cuts, a homophobic serial killer with a penchant for opera, and a young woman’s suicide that may yet turn out to be murder: on the surface, the events are unconnected, but then things—and people—aren’t always what they seem. Detective Sergeant Duffy is the man tasked with trying to get to the bottom of it all. It’s no easy job—especially when it turns out that one of the victims was involved in the IRA but was last seen discussing business with someone from the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 133
In Wild Thyme, Pennsylvania, secrets and feuds go back generations. The lone policeman in a small township on the sparse northern border, Henry Farrell expected to spend his mornings hunting and fishing, his evenings playing old-time music. Instead, he has watched the steady encroachment of gas drilling bring new wealth and erode neighborly trust. The drug trade is pushing heroin into the territory. There are outlaws cooking meth in the woods, guys Henry grew up with. When a stranger turns up dead, Henry’s search for the killer will open old wounds.

Bob Reynolds doesn't recognize the body in the creek, but he does recognize the danger of it. He's a newcomer to town, not entirely welcome and not entirely on good footing with the sheriff. So far he's kept his head down, mostly over the bar at the Crow's Nest. But he has interests other than drinking and spending his inheritance, including one that goes by the name Tammy Fay Smith and who may have caught the sheriff's eye as well.

It was one hell of an inheritance for former Chicago reporter Tom Coleman: a broken-down pickup truck, ramshackle campground, a canoe livery - and one pot-smoking, barely working employee he doesn’t need, doesn’t want, and can’t afford. But the truth is, after losing a child and a marriage, Tom doesn’t really care.

Great story & amazing writing
I love Chris Offutt and this book is so good. I listened to it immediately after The Killing Hills.
The only complaint I have is that in the later chapters there are a few sections in the audio that are swapped. It skips ahead and then goes back to the skipped part. Once I figure out what was happening I could follow but it’s a bit annoying.

Awful narrator detracts from a good story
The narrator employs a weird speech pattern for most of the male charactors which I guess is supposed to indicate that they are taciturn hayseeds-- something generally associated with rural Maine. I found it incredible annoying.

Was probably a very good story
There were glaring technical difficulties with the audible copy I received. The narration jumped all over the place, especially in the last half of the aiudiobook. It made it impossible for me to tell what was going on sometimes, and other times created spoilers. Our hero would be having a lovely lunch with his new love interest, then suddenly he is exchanging bullets with the bad guys. At one point it skipped ahead to mention a character I wasn’t familiar with. The first half of the book was great. I read the book prior in the series and loved being with the characters again.
But overall I’m sorry I wasted my credit on it, because it was so chopped up and confusing in the second half of story, through no fault of the author or narrator. But I couldn’t enjoy it. I’m going to see if I can get my credit returned. Good luck with that hm? 😲

Messed up audio
This audiobook will stop mid-sentence, pick up a couple of sections ahead, read on, and sometimes return to where it veered off. Makes the story hard to follow. Hopefully audible will fix it.
