FRIDAY: Call of the Mild by William Rabkin

Summary

Shawn and Gus are on the case again. This time, the case takes them on a wilderness retreat with a group of hostile lawyers - and a killer.

Review

Good mystery - like Ten Little Indians and others where the killer takes the group out one at a time. Story is heavily in Gus' point of view which is fun because the whole wilderness setting tweaks with Gus' idiosyncrasies. The usual sarcasm and flippancy of the TV characters come across in the writing. Fun references to Lost, Star Trek and other bits of popular TV/movie culture. Good side story with Lassiter, O'Hara and Henry.

4 out of 5 stars

Recommended for: fans of the TV show, mystery fans

Cautions: none.
