Although the crime rate is high, Posadas county in New Mexico sounds like a nice place to live. If It Isn't One Thing by Steven F. Havill is another great book featuring Undersheriff Estelle Reyes-Guzman. The only downside to this book is that former sheriff Bill Gastner has a very small role in it. I just love this and have ever since I read the first book in this series many years ago. I have said it before and I will say it again, I am a sucker for small town stories. Havill is a master storyteller and I hope we get many more books from him in the future. In this book we find out that a tragic road accident can be so much more and involve large parts of northern America and parts of Mexico as well. Well written as usual and even some humor thrown in. I really recommend this series and author. A big thank you goes to Severn House and Netgalley for supplying me with this great advance copy. The book hits the shelves in early March 2025.

I really enjoyed this as a mystery novel, it had that plot that I was looking for and enjoyed the overall feel of this. The character worked with the storyline and was hooked from the first page. It had what I enjoyed from the Posadas County Mystery series and enjoyed how good Steven F. Havill wrote this.
