While I enjoyed the first John Madden book, and plowed my way through the second, but disappointing, book, I didn't manage to finish this one. Like the characters who age ten years between books, the writing and story got old fast. Madden was an interesting detective, less so a farmer; and his involvement in the crimes is a stretch. I gave up after the second killing in this book since it was so unbelievable that the police didn't see it coming and stop it.
