About this listen

Welcome to Ben Rehder's Blanco County, Texas, where the right to bear arms is about to go very, very wrong. In Gun Shy, the National Weapons Alliance rally in support of every American's right to bear arms is meant to garner huge publicity. And the host of the event is none other than the NWA's newest spokesman, handsome country superstar Mitch Campbell. What nobody suspects is that the Stetson-wearing, gun-toting, bull-riding Campbell is a fraud. He's really Norman Kleinschmidt, a pill-popping, snowboarding, former rock-and-roller from Vermont. To Campbell's dismay, someone from his past is about to make that secret a big, big problem. Meanwhile, when an illegal immigrant is killed in a questionable hunting accident just days before the rally, local game warden John Marlin starts to poke around. It's not long before an astonishing series of events threatens to bring down the very carefully marketed Mitch Campbell, and maybe the NWA along with him.

The National Weapons Alliance Rally is coming to Blanco County but I certainly didn’t expect what happened!
This is an enjoyable story and I liked the escalation of events as the story unfolds. Red and Billy Don are as usual their entertaining selves. A good fun series.

I wanted to like this book because I have enjoyed the previous books in the series but I must admit I struggled with his one. I like long stories because the author can really develop the story or the characters but this one was just to long for me and it took me while to get through it. There was too much going on, with to many characters and the story jumped around as it was told by different people and I just confused. I think I might have to listen to the story again to appreciate it and knowing the ending understand it better. I liked the recurring characters as you never know what they are going to get up to next, especially Billy Don and Red. The subject was different and living in the UK I am not use to gun clubs or rallies or with hunting for that matter so this series has been an entertaining eye opener for me and one I am quiet enjoying.
What happens when the right to bear arms goes horribly wrong? John Marlin and the rest of Blanco county is about to find out. Country superstar Mitch Campbell is the face of the NWA but he isn't what he seems. He has a past that if it cones to light could put the group on a precarious position. Someone is about to test how far the leaders will go to protect the organization. At the same time someone is killing off anyone connected to the selling of guns or people who defends people that used a gun in the commission of a crime. Are things about to come to a head at the rally? And if so who will be catch up in the cross fire.
The narrator was okay but a bit monotonous for me and he did not have a very big range of voices,so everybody ended up sounding the same. Maybe a different narrator would have made the story better.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
