It took a while to get this book, but I finally got it. Sadly it feels like this is the last in the series. This is a complicated case for our retired sheriff and his fishing buddy. I am really glad that I found this author a while back because it has been fun reading from the start.

Entertaining, though awkwardly written in places. Good-hearted characters and quirky bad guys.
Mike Black –
Fun series of books Enjoyed all three of the series. Ted Clifton develops his characters fully and I enjoyed getting to know them. You will too!

I have to be honest; I am not sure what happened in this book ... and I read it all the way to the end. Private investigators Ray Pacheco and Tyee Chino are called by New Mexico's governor (a friend of Ray's) because a sheriff from Farmington has taken some militarized police gear to Colorado for some sort of white supremacist militia rally. He wants Ray and Tyee to bring it back. So, Ray and Tyee go to Farmington to see what they can learn.

He wants Ray and Tyee to bring it back. So, Ray and Tyee go to Farmington to see what they can learn. The acting sheriff, Trujillo, tells them that the missing sheriff (Jackson, I think ... there were a load of characters in this book) was investigating some kind of corruption on the Navajo reservation involving gasoline taxes. It seems that the tribal president was in cahoots with the owner of Grimes Oil to falsify records so the two of them could split the money. Pretty soon, Grimes is dead -- shot by the side of his pool. Also, the third partner in the private eye business doesn't want to be mayor of their town anymore,so there's a lot involving that problem. There are at least three plots in this book, so many characters that I couldn't keep them straight ... and if there were any clues on the page, I'll be damned if I could see them. Everything hinges on some documents that the reader never sees ... and then it's all sewn up with an epilogue that just feels tacked on. Not my cup of tea, I'm sorry to say.

In some respects this is a three star book; in others it rates four. The retired sheriff and his Apache partner are summoned by the governor to Farmington, New Mexico where the sheriff has taken the department’s military surplus equipment with a militia group to the mountains of Colorado. The bodies begin to pile up. The FBI and BIA are searching for missing millions on the Navajo reservation and at the feet of the richest man in town. There are numerous interesting characters.

The bodies begin to pile up. The FBI and BIA are searching for missing millions on the Navajo reservation and at the feet of the richest man in town. There are numerous interesting characters. The plot has lots of twists. Yet, like Ray, the whole feels tired, on its last legs. Which is a shame because there is something about this author’s writing that makes it most enjoyable to read. It is relaxing yet enticing. This third book in this series just doesn’t match the verve of the first which had many laugh out loud moments. Those and the fuller character development are missing and their lack is mourned by this reader.

The retired sheriff and his fishing buddy need to go out of town at the request of the governor and finds out the who but also the why for all the sudden murders in Farmington. He also learns that he'd rather be at home and his wife feels the same. Some areas of the book seemed disconnected until I could see it all coming together. Loved it! Narrator Scott R. Pollak does a great job of interpreting the various characters and differentiating each one.

I couldn't put this book down until I found out not just the who but also the why concerning the sudden rash of murders in Farmington. Usually if I want a good western with modern day American Indians I normally read something written by Hillerman or Craig Johnson. I will now add Ted Clifton to that short list. Read it and enjoy as for me I have to hunt down some more of his books.

Once I got past the slow start of this book I really enjoyed reading it. This is a complicated case for our retired sheriff and his fishing buddy. Sadly it feels like this might be the last in the series. I really liked getting to know all of the characters in this story. I am really glad that I found this author a while back because it has been fun reading from the start.

Any which way but loose This third Pacheco & Chino that I have read . It just might be the best one . Clifton is a mystery writer who knows how to fully develop his characters as well his plots. If real characters and well plotted mysteries read on.

Good story, great characters Enjoyed this book. Really like the local flavor for an area I know and love. Really hope the author writes many more.

So good! I Love these characters and all they get into! There is always lots of action, laughs and peril involved, but this one has consequences, too.

I love these guys! I've read all the previous books, and this one was definitely more complicated with a pretty confusing plot. Definitely worth reading! I love these guys!

Great follow up to the Dog Gone Lies mystery.

Three and done Some good, more bad. A fitting way to end a trilogy that probably jumped the shark of Elephant Butte Lake early in book two. Thanks for the memories, gang.

Solid, good work Satisfying to read. The characters are well defined, and it is nice how he ties up all the loose ends. We need more Rays and Tyees in this world.

This was my first book in this series, and the last book in the series. I liked it enough that I plan to find and read the rest of this series.

Lots of ins and outs in this story. I didn't enjoy it as much as the other books starring these two P Is. Lots of ins and outs in this story. I didn't enjoy it as much as the other books starring these two P Is.

Excellent Just when you're sure you have it all figured out, the story takes a new twist...and then another. The pace is slow, but the read is worth it Excellent Just when you're sure you have it all figured out, the story takes a new twist...and then another. The pace is slow, but the read is worth it

This was close to my favorite of this three book series! But I didn't want to let them go off to their own ways! Guess I'll have to read the next series by this author. Loved how you feel like you actually know both the area and the food! This was close to my favorite of this three book series! But I didn't want to let them go off to their own ways!

So So Lots of twists and turns with lots of unique characters. Seems like there were loose ends and I could have used a bit more character development. Glad I finished this book and think it will be the last Pacheco Chino adventure.
IMHO –
RECOMMENDED "Four Corners War", the 3rd book in the Pacheco & Chino series, involves a very difficult investigation, that brings Ray to the realization that he wants to go home and spend more time with his wife.
