The only thing better than learning there is a new McKenzie novel is reading it. David Housewright simply doesn't disappoint. Man in the Water is another winning addition to this sensational series which began in 2004. Once again, Housewright showcases his ability to hook the reader from the very first page. A book that begins with a scream from McKenzie's wife ends with the sound of applause from the reader. It's another engaging adventure with the wit and charm we've come to expect. It is perfectly paced and treats the reader to a rousing conclusion. I couldn't put it down. It's simply that good. Thank you to St. Martin's Press, Minotaur Books, & NetGalley for the advance reading copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Nina is shocked to find a body in the water. She's not sure what happened. Nina tries to do some digging to find out more about the man. A good read.

It's a toss-up: McKemzie or Rushmore? Both characters keep the book moving and their interplay is a dynamic that adds a spark to a well-designed and continually moving episode of a special series.

Picked this book up on a whim because I liked its cover and to test out NetGalley, so this is the first book I've read by David Housewright. I'm glad to see it's part of a series of books following the adventures of Rushmore McKenzie, and look forward to seeing what other trouble he's found himself in.

Going into the book unfamiliar with the series, I got a little worried early on that I had guessed what was happening, and it was going to be somewhat of a military buddy trope, but luckily that wasn't it at all. Keeping it vague to avoid spoilers, I'll just say I did not guess the ending and enjoyed the book the whole way through.

I've also always wanted to visit the Twin Cities and the book did a good job of making me want to visit more (despite all the murder).
